Beautiful Gate visitation


This morning, several CF members visit Beautiful Gate in Kampar. Beautiful Gate is a home for the disabled people. About 10 of us gather at the bus stop opposite the basketball court in WestLake as was told by Gin. We set off and arrive there shortly as the place isn't too far away.

We bring along some recyclable items such as newspapers and aluminium cans for recycling purposes. Then, we head into the house and Gin gets everyone in the house to participate in an ice-breaking session. A few simple games are played and I can say everyone - both the CF members and the disable people - enjoy having fun together.

After having some fun, it's time for us to fulfill our purpose of being there: helping to clean the house. Tasks like sweeping and mopping the floor and wiping the fans are distributed among the CF members. Everyone plays their part well in helping out and getting the job done. We have a brief photo-taking session before we leave to have our lunch at KFC in Tesco. The residents thank us for coming and tell us that we can visit them sometimes.

This is my 2nd visit to the home; the first time was 2 years ago when I joined Campus Connect in the S+URGE camp. It was part of the outreach activities of the camp. We dropped by there to help out with spring-cleaning before we departed to Harvest Haven, Gopeng for the rest of the activities. Wow.... the place has changed a lot since my 1st visit. There are study rooms, office, classrooms and also a computer room. A large signboard is placed in front of the house as shown in the picture below:


Visitation to Beautiful Gate has made me realised that I'm more fortunate than the residents there. I hope they will be blessed through our visit.
