Today me and my sister went to the Drop-in centre (a place for poor people to eat and sleep) as volounteers. There was a group of people from the Challenger company my sister works at and I decided to join them. It was really great to do it bacause you are helping others, at the same time you are helping yourself!
That Drop-in centre is huge. There is enough space for everybody and even if you are not poor you can have some dinner or lunch there. The food they serve is pretty good and the portions are big enough. It's a good idea to have such kind of places for poor people to sleep and to eat. But the problem is that they feel themselves really relaxed and they are getting used to it. As a result, why do they need to go to work or to find the place to live as they can do it for free, drinking and smoking instead?
There are two ends of this stick... As usually... But I just want to say that a good idea is to make them find a sense in their lives! To help them not just get some food but get some meaning of living and being in the world. It's not easy but we should try.
Our life is a big value. You are born into this world by your mother and father to be happy. Very often I'm thinking about Sense of my life. I guess I found the answer recently. To have the meaning of your life means to live and to be happy! And isn't that true, the biggest happiness you have when you are making others happy?
We were really happy when going back home after lunch among those poor people we heard them applauded us. It's was the best feeling ever can be!

Hi Oksana, this is my first time to have comment here. I agree with you, that's really a good place for poor people, you and your sister are very kind. It's enjoyable to help others :)
Wow, you are beatiful and also you have good heart too!!!
You are right Oksana.This is the real meaning of life.If you can make others feel happy and give them smile, you are an admirable person.
If I read your blog before mid-term exam I probably would write about you in my essay! I do agree about governmental help for poor people but as you said they might get used to it. I think there should be some limitation for them. I just did not notice one part of your blog which was about free drinking and smoking!!! Do you have the address of this place?!? ;)
