Accident in a Gawad Kalinga of Telus

I was in Gawad Kalinga yesterday doing charity work like the usual things I do to help the needy like building/ painting a house or cementing of the walls. Going back, me and my batch mates were assign in moving hollow blocks, it was one of the chores that we can only do to help besides from cementing, painting and hammering. For us it was really a lite job, passing one hollow block to another, we can even afford to pose and smile in pictures now and then when the photographer asks us to, hehe neat right?

 Me and my best buddy was the first one on-line, our basic task was just grab the blocks then pass it to the person behind us, it was just a simple chore that even a 5th grader can do, the trick was just finish the first column then on with the next one. It was really like child’s play for us but for some reason a faith played tricks on me in my most unexpected situations.

In my case, it was the moment when I bended to pick up the last block on the floor when suddenly, two blocks fell off to my head and break. Everyone was surprise that time including me, it was so unexpected the only thing that I was able to do is stare at him hoping that he’ll tell me what just happend. I looked at my other friend’s face as they run towards my direction when all of a sudden, my world starts to spin then blacked out. I didn’t see stars that time but I can hear them panicing. I felt their hands brushing against my hair and my back and no later than 2 seconds, I was able to open my eyes then stand as if nothing bad happend, but seriously that moment, it was all question marks running over my head. Ahehe what an awkward moment, then my manager walk me to the first aide and ask me to rest until the charity event finishes, they said they’ve been doing this for quite sometime and it was the first time that they had a casualty.

It was really a something that time but at the end of the day we ended up celebrating the success of our advocacy for the day, it was tiring indeed but for sure everyone felt fulfilled. I also thank god for assuring that I was not hurt badly in the accident, I didn’t know that god had an appointment with me that time, but still thank you my lord for that reality check you just gave me. It was all fun and laughter helping out the needy but I’m not sure if they will still feel the same the next day once their muscles starts to ache hehe.
