Project Leger des Heils
We are excited to share with you our first small project. By the grace of God, we were able to partner up with Leger des Heils – Amsterdam Zuid Oost. Leger des Heils is a non-profit organisation with Christian fundamentals that helps the homeless with shelter, food and clothes. As we all know, winter is the hardest season for homeless people. Therefore, with the help of God and the donations of people with the same ambition, we were able to donate 160 new pairs of socks, 36 pairs of (fe)male underwear and lastly 30 pairs of hand gloves.
It was an honour to work with Leger des Heils and therefore, we want to thank them for accepting our offer to help. We also want to say a big thank you to the people who donated. They are the reason why we were able to supply in the need of the poor this project. Last but not least, we want to thank our Lord Jesus Christ for leading us into this direction.
As Christians, we must be capable of taking care of people who are in need. This we can accomplish by giving them substance, feeding them, clothing them and supporting them.”
Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.
If we don’t educate ourselves on the things that happen around us, we shall never be capable of doing more for the community, because of lack of knowledge.
The Human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.”
The right words can make a difference when talking to someone living on the streets. Always remember that we all need love and kindness.
Helping one person might not change te world, but it could change the world for one person and that person can change the world of another person and so goes on.
People do not notice whether it is winter or summer when they are happy.
Helping others decreases your stress levels and improves your mood. When you help others, it increases the endorphin levels in your body which makes you feel happy from the inside.
