TNT: How was the feeling when you met the families? Can you describe it to us?

Shillong Chelsea FC:

Amid the pandemic, seeing the six families lose everything in the fire, starting from clothes, household items, official papers and documents, it pained us.

Shillong Man United FC:

Fulfilment is the word! Life seldom allows us to play an active role in someone else’s life.

The gratification and sense of fulfilment that everyone felt on that day are beyond words. Our members were and still are actively in touch with the orphans we gave financial aid to, and no feeling could be better.

Their innocence and gratitude touched us all. As Swami Vivekananda once said, “Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray,” it is on this day that every member there felt it.

It changed all of us in a small way towards the better. In this year, where the pandemic has made situations difficult, this minor act had much more impact on all of us than it did on them. We are glad this opportunity presented itself, and we could all rise to the occasion.

Shillong Barca FC:

Seeing them, I could feel myself wondering what I would do if I were in their shoes? It is difficult to live in such a condition of life. It broke our hearts to see that such families still exist in our society. A boy of 16-years, who ideally should spend time with friends, was bearing the burden as a daily bread earner for the family.

All we will remember is a prayer for their family as God is a God for the orphan.

TNT: Any inspiring words of advice to others?

Shillong Chelsea FC:

Help others, no matter how big or small the contribution is.

Shillong Man United FC:

Our only advice to the youth of the generation and the upcoming youngsters is that we should do our utmost best to be better human beings and impact the society by changing the world to be a better place, little at a time.

Our smallest actions count towards upbringing, a world full of peace and happiness. United, we can change the world.

Shillong Barca FC:

An encouragement for every friend who is reading this, keep on sharing for the poor, no matter which group or position, irrespective of who you are, it doesn’t matter whether it’s big or small.

The words of Mother Teresa reminded us, “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.”

The Bible reminds us about Jesus feeding the five thousand and, in this incident, we remember of the boy who gets provided with just two fishes and five loaves and God multiplies them.

Don’t question, help them. If you can’t feed the hundreds, feed one person, and this would also be a great blessing for the one who receives it.

Believe me, you can sleep peacefully at night. Our heartfelt gratitude and much love go to all Barcelona fans in Shillong and around the world who inspire us.

Much appreciation also goes to the other fan clubs, Man Utd and Chelsea, who continue to lend their hands to this very family.

God bless you all! Força Barça!
