Buti na lang kahit summer meron kaming activity sa AIESEC.

Last Saturday, we AIESECers had our first Learning Activity for the school year. We visited the cancer patients confined at PCMC.

When I first saw them, I tried my bst not to show them too much pity coz they're really not asking for it. And so i managed to smile and somehow made them feel loved and appreciated by giving them books, foods, and some stuff toys.

I really am not good with memorizing names of the children, but there was this very cute baby who was named John Meynard. It's very relaxing and soothing to hear his giggles and laughter. Sometimes I think its good to be as young as a baby...you don't have to worry so much.

We also played Bingo with the young girls who had their heads shaven. We also distributed some books. Actually there was one who asked for a Noli Me Tangere. well, I asked Clarice to reserve me that book and so we just gave her El Fili. Another asked for Homer's Iliad, and since we know it would be a major headache for her, we also gave her a pocket dictionary.

As we were leaving the room, there was this patient  undergoing chemotherapy who still tried his hand to wave goodbye even though he could hardly move his paralyzed body. That was a teary moment for me and so I immediately went out of the room

It's very fulfilling to somehow do small acts of kindness to less fortunate people knowing that these little things could mean happiness to them.

I can't help but remind myself how blessed and lucky I am to be physically healthy and free from worried and sufferings brought about by such diseases.
