ACTIVITY E
QUESTION: "Giving Voice Project"
“The Hands”
I remember the day I woke up with scary whistling air. It wasn't the first time to
experience it, but surely it made me feel something for the first time. I remember how
scared and cold that day was. We were privileged enough to have strong walls that
could stand any calamities, a second floor to stay in and lastly parents that calculated
what and when to move.
Watching another storm again is scary, but knowing the fact that every time it passes
by it will eventually leave with countless lives washed by its water, number of
memories destroyed and lastly the another count of parentless children, that is what
makes my knees tremble.
Living in the city far away from anything except opportunities is traumatizing, every
time there's a storm, we don't have a choice but to watch and wait on the tv while the
others outside the city hold on for dear life.
I wish I could do something, other than sending relief goods. I wish to embrace them
with comforting hugs and genuine hands.
