Unspoken Affection

">

There are a lot of nationalities, culture, flag and languages in the globe. I know you are very doubtful if those different persons can live together in a very great ship, voyaging together in order to help different people all over the world. They give love and welfare to people who need books in low price. Have you gone to this ship? The fierce heat of ht noon made the freshies and the Sophies sweat a lot. It was really a hot day when we went to visit the MV Doulus. This ship was three years younger than the Titanic and was considered the world’s biggest floating library. A floating library? Impossible! I never used to hear such but then I realized that was really a real stuff. Everyone felt excited as we lined up at the campus grounds while waiting for our respective jeepneys. On our way, we shared our stories and jokes to keep everyone alive. We observed the downtown in the midst of the extreme heat of the sun. I was really irritated with the killer smoke coming form different motor vehicles. When we arrive, I felt very dizzy of that long trip but I was relived that our trip was very worthy. Everyone was amazed with the huge size of the ship. In my whole life I have never seen a ship as bug as this! I was imaging myself to be riding in a cruiser ship as we make our way to the steep metal ladders of Doulus. An African woman who was very friendly welcomed us. Every crew I met was remarkable t me because all were very friendly. We started roaming around the ship and met a lot of people with different nationalities. As what I remembered, most of the books were published abroad but were sold in a low price. Everyone enjoyed scanning through the pages of the books. You can really see that the books were properly taken care. After scrolling around the ship we had a lecture about the history and the main objective of the MV Doulus’s voyage around the vast oceans of the globe. We are entertained by the videos presented by the crewmen in the ship. We are also taught some of the costumes of the other countries. It was really interesting! There were paintings on the wall of the ship that tells the history of the MV Doulus. The floor of the ship was constructed with a very shiny wood and the cleanliness of the surrounding was really maintained. After the program everyone was ordered to go down because we have to g back to school. With that one with MV Doulus my mind was really stuffed with new knowledge and no minute was ever wasted. Nationalities, culture, color, language and distance can’t be diversity in spreading God’s news and giving love to the people. Those people made us realize that “we are one.” As a saying goes, “For together we stand, divided we fall.”
