Reaching Out To Help

I recall an incident about three years ago when one of my College mates sank into a state of depression over a relationship problem. One afternoon I had a strange feeling that this college mate was about to take her own life. Together with a few friends,we rushed over to her flat. We forced our way into her room when there was no response to our calls and knocks at her door. We found her unconscious on her bed and there were some pills around her. We knew that she had attempted to commit suicide. We immediately called for help and sent her to the hospital. With treatment, her life was saved. We followed this up with good support and counselling work to enable her to start life afresh.Reflecting back, this act of kindness filled us with great joy and happiness…
