Dessert On The House June 14, 2012 – Posted by svr95
A friend and I went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch last weekend. Since we are vegetarians we customized our order.

Unfortunately, the food did not turn out to our liking. When our server, Maria, asked how everything was we, honestly, told her that although we loved her service we were not too happy with the food.

After listening to our feedback she spoke to her manager and they offered us dessert on the house.

She gave us a few minutes to decide which desert we wanted. Suddenly, my friend’s eyes sparkled with joy and she asked me, "Do you have a Smile card?” I loved the idea, and when Maria returned we gave her the Smile card and asked her to offer the desert, anonymously, to someone else in the restaurant.

She was deeply touched and shared that she had been having a bad day since lots of customers had given her a hard time. However, after meeting us and learning about the Smile card she was overjoyed – and so were we!

Rickshaw Puller Starts Clinic for the Poor

You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Rickshaw Puller Starts Clinic for the Poor

Joynal Abedin still remembers the rainy and windy night when he saw his father die because there was no medical treatment. His village in a northern district of Bangladesh did not have any medical facility at the time, and the nearest hospital was about 12 miles away. The death of his father, about 30 years ago, changed the life of Abedin, a rickshaw puller. He vowed to establish a basic medical centre in his village to save the impoverished from untimely deaths. { read more }
