It was my first time. Not knowing what to expect, I was really impressed by how orderly things went. In matter of about 10 minutes, it was all done. We packed up and was already ready to head to the second stop, which was about 15 minutes away. When we arrived at the second stop, it was similar as the first.
The lines were already formed. 2 lines, 2 very long lines. From the young ones to the old ones, from mothers to children to uncles and aunties. They were all there, their faces full of hope, waiting eagerly for us to arrive.
Quickly, we wasted no time. The team worked together. In just a couple of minutes, the banners were up and 'Love On Wheels' were ready to serve. Just like at the first stop, 'Love On Wheels' started of with a short speech by none other than Auntie Clarine herself and also the Team Leader, followed by, of course, the Fungates Cheer!
I was amazed to see how almost everyone present joined in the cheer. The seasoned ones cheered enthusiastically, while the newbies joined in. Boy, they were certainly fast learners! By the third and last cheer, everyone was cheering their hearts out. Amazing spirit!
While the food was being given out, some of us took the opportunity to get closer with the people. We chatted, smiled, high-fived, greeted as much and as best as we could with everyone. It was really interesting to note that at time, age, race and religion holds no barrier. All of us were just there for each other.
Within 15 minutes, everyone has gotten their packs of food. Happy and relief faces were everywhere. We too were smiling, another successful trip. Tired but glad we could offer this little help via 'Love On Wheels'.
