Acts of selflessness during hard times

Acts of selflessness during hard times

Kennedy was the chief caretaker at the Yangon campus for over 5 years.  Last year, he left the Yangon campus and moved to Nay Pyi Taw, which is the capital of Myanmar, to pursue children's ministries.

On the surface Nay Pyi Taw does have some advantages over Yangon because it is a relatively new country town with very good infrastructure.  However, there are still too many people in Nay Pyi Taw who live in poverty.

If truth be told, Kennedy does not live in the central business district.  He is currently renting a property on the outskirts of Nay Pyi Taw, which has been affected by flooding.

In the next village, Kennedy has been busy with assisting needy people who have been affected by the flood. To be more precise, Kennedy has been using a small amount of money, which he received from M2M, to feed an Indian widow.

The widow has no relatives in Myanmar, and she is really struggling to survive in a country that has no social security system.  However, the widow is not the only one who is going through hard times.

In the same village, Kennedy found a single mother with a baby.  Apparently, her husband died three months ago.  Kennedy generously gave this mother a bag of rice with a container of cooking oil.

M2M condones Kennedy's acts of selflessness because Kennedy shared his limited resources with those who are less fortunate than himself.
