We spent the morning, with niece Zahira, helping deliver packages from Darul Arqam as part of their Qurban Drive 2019. On our stint last year a couple of the intended recipients were not around, but this year we did rather better, managing to deliver all that was assigned to us. Funnily enough the final addresses we went to took me back to my old stomping grounds in Bedok, being adjacent to the school I taught at from 2004 to 2006. The buildings are now deserted since the place shut down some three or four years ago. A bit of a waste really since the site had been refurbished back in 2005 and was quite a pleasant location in which to teach.
Fortunately our morning felt quite the opposite of a waste. In an odd sort of way I reckon we benefitted quite as a much as those getting something to help fill their pantries for a little while.
