She just sat there watching us send the food aid to her father and the other flood survivors. Not moving from her spot, her eyes gazed far into what was the condition of her house today.
A few days ago the water level was as high as her window, as high as where she sat today, where she sat waiting for help to come. I asked her how are things, she didn’t reply. She put her head down and looked at the water level at her feet, silently.
We put the box of water by the door step. “This is for you and your family.” She looked at the box and she smiled a little, or maybe it’s just me imagining to see a smile.”
Share her ‘smile’ and send hope to all flood survivors in Malaysia who have lost their homes or loved once.
