i10 Doing Charity

Resala Charity Errand

Yesterday was Eid and my i10 made its first charity errand at Resala. After the Friday prayers I headed to the Nasr City branch of Resala to check up what was going on there. Just by chance I found the employee responsible for the charity errand at Resala, or actually she found me, right upon parking in front of the Resala building. Having registered my name with her earlier after getting my driving license, she asked me if I was free to do some charity errands. I welcomed the opportunity.

First Round

I drove the i10 around Nasr City. Two employees from Resala accompanied me. They had a number of addresses with them of people who wanted to donate meat, during the first day of Eid, to Resala. After collecting the meat and cow skin from a number of donors we went back to Resala to unpack the car. The 'trunk' of the i10 was too small to carry a lot of things, so we skipped passing by a donor who was donating a large part of calf.

Second Round

After arriving at Resala and unloading the i10 trunk, I found the employee responsible for the charity errands once again standing in front of the Resala building. She came to me once again and asked if I could go for a second round with two other employees. I welcomed the opportunity once again. We took our round and came back to Resala. By that time I was too tired to go for a third round and I wanted to go back home to have lunch and rest despited some desired inside me for going for a third charity errand round.

Back Home

I went back home satisfied having at last practically joined the charity errand activity at Resala with my new i10, an intention which I had earlier and had planned for before buying the car. I have been through some slumpy roads yesterday that were muddy and had water in them after the early morning relatively heavy rain of yesterday. There were also numerous uneven and high speed bumps on the way which the i10 did not quite enjoy. Yet despite of all that and the fact that my driving yesterday was not optimal, I did in fact feel satisfied doing this. I hope I'll be able to continue participating in the charity errand in the days and months to come. I believe that's the best real insurance for the safety of my car and its passengers.

Keeping Charity a Secret!

Some may shun talking about charity things they are doing in the fear of believing that it could turn into some sort of bragging and to assure themselves that they are doing it only for the sake of doing good and not for getting acceptance or admiration from others. I do believe that one should do some good deeds and keep them to himself or herself without telling others about them. Yet at the same time one should tell others about charity work he or she is doing for it might inspired them to do the same. We cannot leave those taking drugs brag about their harmful and irresponsible abuse of drugs while we keep our good deeds a secret! Showing and spreading the word about charity work is a good thing.
