I could do More

Daily writing prompt
What do you do to be involved in the community?

I am not a very contributing community member. However, I do like to participate in community events whenever possible.

I was able to be a part of the “Make the city beautiful” event organized by a NGO in which we cleaned and painted neglected public spaces. It was a long day’s work but the result was truly amazing. the once foul smelling place now looked beautiful.

In another instance we got to spend time with kids, we played hide and seek, charades, Pictionary. We also played football or more like we managed. The kids were amazing in all the games. Though I did not speak the same language I loved listening to all their stories. We also helped them with their schoolwork. At the end of the day, nobody wanted to leave but we did end up leaving with hearts filled with happiness.

I hope that in the future I can contribute more to my society and join more community events.
