During Lunch hour, when I passed by the traffic light near 313 Somerset before crossing opposite to Centrepoint, there was a girl on a wheelchair promoting something.
I walked nearer & realised that she was selling a $2 Donation Draw ticket for Handicaps Welfare Association.
She was kind of shy but one can see that she is putting on her courage, trying her best to market the tickets.
There was quite a traffic of people moving past her but not much people had paid attention to her.
When I approached her, she was smiley & really broke into Sunflower smile when she realise that I intended to buy a ticket from her.
Her smile brighten up my day too & I would say the scene then was just like those stories often read, a small act brighten up both the giver & recipent's day.
If you do pass by Orchard to 313 Somerset, do look up for the girl & with $2, you not only get a chance to win the cash prizes from the HWA donation draw, a free coffee from Delifrance with minimum purchase of $10 but also giving hope to the girl and other recipients who benefit from the services provided by the Handicaps Welfare Association. :-)
(She and fellow fundraisers could be found in different parts of Spore too)
