Kindness, delivered to the students in need, the heart of these people are simply, amazing! Translated…
Living in the southern regions of the country in the countryside, there's this, local bakery without the names, with the great prices, that's gained the local's love, normally by eight in the morn, everything in the shop got, sold out. Once day as I'd passed by at around nine, to my surprise, there's still left over baked goods, and, there was a transport for the disabled parked close by, I'd stopped to inquire out of curiosity. The female owner of the shop told me, because the sales of the items didn't go so well because people are busy, making the offerings at home, she'd donated the baked goods to those in need. This scene reminded me of something from the past.
Some twenty odd years ago, my wife studied in night school in high school, most of her classmates were students who started working to provide for their own families during the daytime and only came to study at night, worked and provided for their families, and after work, they'd still, rushed to school to study. Some didn't get a chance to have suppers, and, the empty stomach affected their health and ability to learn at primal conditions, the homeroom instructor felt bad for the classes, and told the situation to the head of student affairs.

The head of student affairs felt for these, "elder students", and tried to resolve this. She'd known an owner of a bakery who was willing to give the leftover breads of the day to the school free of charge, the things was someone would have to go and pick the foods up. My wife discussed it with me, asked if I would be willing to transport? I'd told her I would, and ever since, I'd started working, as a delivery person.
For five days of the week, come rain or shine, winter or summer, no pay, I'd rushed to the bakery before its closing time, and, took the baked goods the owner took off the shelves home to refrigerate, and the following day, my wife would bring the baked goods to school. There is a microwave in the office, as the night school students picked up the breads, they can microwave the foods to heat them up, and then, have the warm foods, this helped them from going hungry, and it'd, reduced the costs of their lives.
There's the high and low seasons for business, sometimes, there were the lack of supplies of baked goods, and, we'd bought other food items, with the sweeter and saltier tastes, and the students didn't like them, and we'd had them bring the foods home to their families; and, when there are too much leftover, watching the expiration dates, we can only, give the items to our neighbors……….anyways, we'd, given back to our local communities, and, established the connections well, and not wasted any perishable items.
In the days without Uber Eats, or FoodPanda, my wife and I had been delivering the goods for more than two years, until my wife "graduated" from her teaching posts, and she'd, been awarded the best service award too!
And so, this is the hearts of kindness, of how this school instructor felt bad for her class of students for going hungry, and they'd, worked up a deal with the local bakeries to get the foods provided for free, and this is way, way, WAY before UberEats and FoodPanda!
