Jungto Online Community

Today, when I went to a cafe, there were so many people, and the staff were all very busy. While I was waiting for my order, I saw some plastic bags on a table that had fallen onto the ground. I noticed that they could cause someone to trip, so I walked over, picked them up, and put a stapler on the bags to keep them in place. Then, I went back to my seat. I felt good about myself for helping out.

I shared the news of the start of registration for the Jungto Dharma School with a friend of mine who is suffering with her relationship problem with her family.

I volunteer for the Parent Services Society, a non-profit organization that supports families by facilitating various support groups, especially for immigrant families settling in.

My mother is close to 90 yrs old & lives happily on her own. I bought an apartment about 2kms from her place in order to be close to her, as she doesn't want to go into Aged Care. We enjoy a wonderful friendship as nowadays I speak to her every day & see her almost every day. Some people don't have elderly family members, and I feel they miss out. A wonderful initiative is to build Aged Care facilities right next to a Child Care Centre/Kindergarten. Both the elderly & children in care see each other frequently & develop meaningful relationships.

Today I joined Homelessness Australia as a member & registered to attend the Online Homelessness Week Launch on Aug 5 2024. Even though I can\'t donate a home, I feel like I am doing something by being part of a Launch & signing a petition to increase no. budget homes available for low-income earners. I was shocked to read that in Victoria, (Australia) 99% of Melbourne rentals are unaffordable for people on welfare. 1.6M new homes are needed by 2051 (in 27 yrs) & 1 in 4 home owners currently experience mortgage stress.

I volunteered to sign people in my neighborhood up for solar power.

I will make sure stay connected with my acquaintance who goes through depression by inviting her out for lunch or sharing my comments on the Netflix show she recommended to me.

I cleaned and restocked a neglected Little Free Library with books and some small items - now it has books again for exchange and looks welcoming!

I did my best to help my team members thrive and celebrate their proud moments, making them feel safe and appreciated

Although I didn't do much related to social welfare today, I did help someone. I saw a girl come out of Woolies with her hands full of items. Suddenly, one of her paper bags broke, and her belongings scattered everywhere. I quickly opened my car's boot and gave her an extra paper bag I had. She was able to gather her things and carry them with ease. I felt happy that I could help someone in need.
