Feeding the homeless and those in need is a very noble and humane act of kindness.
This is the story of a Syrian refugee in Berlin giving back something small to German people he can help.
“I found myself in helping people. I feel I finally got love from them.
This is what I want. When you get love you get everything.”
Alex feeds the homeless at this spot in Berlin every Saturday.
He’s from Damascus, and he had left Syria in 2006 for political reasons.
He then lived in Libya for 8 years, where he had a good job.
Then in 2014 he lost everything.
He went to Germany, and found he could work legally, so he applied for a work permit, and his application was accepted as he got official permission to work and live in Germany for 5 years.
“We should give something back,” he said to a friend.
Once a week, every Saturday, he buys food from the supermarket, and he cooks a hot meal, then goes on the street to feed the hungry and the homeless.
People started noticing him every week, and someone sent him a text message saying:
“I have been seeing you helping our homeless people, and it really touched my heart.
Thank you for being here in Germany.”
