You can't help them all...help one

don know how many of you i have shared this story withbut i want to share it with the rest - so bear with me i was at the flea market in sungei road a couple of years backand at one particular stall, i saw knick knacks strewn untidily all over the place. Next to it I saw 3 children sharing one packet of chicken rice. They had neatly divided it into 3 portions and sat quietly savouring every mouthful. My heart went out to them... my husband and i could not stop thinking or talking about themGod works in wondrous ways - my husband recounted this story to a colleague who told him he knew the family.Since then, my husband has been collecting a small sum every month from his generous colleagues and we have been putting the money into the letter box of this family's rented home.Like mother teresa said - you can't save all the poor people. but you can help one.something to that effect - sorry, mother teresa, if i have misquoted you.but i think i got the gist of your quote, right?..I hope the 3 children see success in eveything they do.
