Rachael and I met up at Suwon station, then, as usual, proceeded to the shelter. We found two cartons of eggs that said "Donated by a foreigner early in the morning" The officials at the shelter asked me what they were supposed to do with the eggs to which I said I don't know because we did not donate them. So, yes, there is other foreigner(s) linked to the shelter and helped them under no name or whatsoever. How nice!

This was topped off some dance by homeless. This guy whom we have never met busted out his Michael Jackson's Beat It moves coupled with saying "Madonna" and "PSY" Every time we are seen engage in a dialogue with one of them, we are interestingly looked at by bystanders at the station. Whether a stare or a glare, we don't really bother and continue to do what we do. It is a little bit of a stretch for me to say this. When "I" arrive at the waiting area at the station, I feel like all eyes are gazed upon me and my co-volunteers as if we are a singer at a concert. Then, we barge in and stir the crowd by making a scene :) And, the best part is that I never get jaded with it.

Week 56 Recap
: We had a newcomer, John from South Africa. He came with a great deal of food such as hardboiled eggs, ramen, moonpie, capri sun, large sized milk and so forth. It was a big surprise. Because of his generosity, we were able to benefit many people. While giving away the food, we realized that they wanted gloves for Christmas.
Week 57 Recap
: Upon hearing that they wanted gloves, Rachael, Christi, Derrick and I marched down to the traditional market in Suwon to purchase hats and gloves. And, we did. It was cold out and yet our heart was not. We grabbed 25 hats and 25 pairs of gloves to keep them warm. I luckily haggled with the store owner and hammered out a shaveoff and an extra pair of baby gloves :)
: After Grace joined us, we headed to the station to do the routine. Then, there, we doled out the gloves and some hats at the shelter. With 60 bags of goodies in our hands, we went out again.
: Strangely enough, the majority of the people we came across last night was never seen by us. And, to be honest, that made us a bit hesitant to distribute the hats we were left with. The guy who asked for a pair of gloves was not their. Subsequently, we decided to leave the hats in the hands of the workers at the shelter, thinking that, after all, the guys at the shelter have checked themselves in with no sobriety issues. Now you know that one MUST pass the breathalyzer test upon entering the premises.
: I would be lying should I say I did not miss doing free hugs with ya'll. I hope those of you that have left the country still remember us and them at the same time. Thank you all for being part of this cause. I bid you a very Merry Christmas.
