Later, my mother had asked me what was bothering me. I told her that I saw that girl who was sitting on the ground on the YouTube video. Was it real? “Why did she look so sad and helpless?” My mother reluctantly explained that the girl perhaps lost her family and might not have anyone to care for her. I immediately asked, “Why? Mother, didn’t you tell me God loves everyone?”
My Mother replied, “Of course.”
“So why some people extremely poor and others are not?” I asked.
My Mother replied, “God created people like you and others who are passionate about helping God’s children.”
That night my mother’s words became real to me. I decided I needed to do something big to help others. Now the question in my mind was what should I do that will not only have a big impact but also to inspire my friends to collaborate with me.
The next morning I woke up early and started googling the ways to help. I came across a website that explained how I could feed a village of 100 people for one year.
Boy I was thrilled! I couldn’t wait to tell my mother. When I told my plans to her she said, “How about start with feeding one child first?”
I looked at my mother and said you told me, “I could reach for the star in me.” Mother knew at this point that nothing could stop me.
