Oftentimes we tend to draw up more activities or mission targeting those who are already enjoying life in free environment. Those who can run around looking for their own food when they are hungry, go to hospitals when sick and run to their parents or someone close to them to share their discomfort.
But what about those who are locked behind bars? Those who are mentally sick, crying for comfort? Those who are doing unwanted activities within our societies? May be those are the ones we must also visit, share with and help them set their foot back on track.
