Cover image via Kindness MalaysiaEarlier in October 2015, a group called 'Kindness Malaysia' came across a homeless man named Jamil on the streets of Chow Kit
Jamil has been living in Chow Kit for years after his wife and son abandoned him.

As you can imagine, Jamil — who has been sleeping on the streets for years now — doesn't quite have access to resources.
He has hearing problems and suffers from a speech and skin disorder. Many regard him as a mentally-challenged person.
After coming across him, volunteers from Kindness Malaysia took Jamil to buy some clothes and footwear. Then they treated him to lunch, had his hair cut, and bought him some medicines and toiletries.

Jamil, in turn, displayed remarkable appreciation
When offered to buy clothes, Jamil went for small outlets. And when given 5 pieces of clothing, Jamil refused them saying one would be enough. Not only that, he also selected a small eatery at the side of the road to eat.
All this despite being given the choice to pick any store he wanted.

The volunteers also took him sightseeing around KL
During the sightseeing trip, Kindness Malaysia also took Jamil on a car ride, making him experience the sheer excitement after 15 long years.

And when it came time for the volunteers to leave, Jamil tried to hide his sadness with a smile

They plan to get him a job so he can have a better life.
The lesson here is that every person deserves a second chance
