KIDS PLAY

The KidsPlay Community Patrol Team saved a life today. The entire purpose of providing Naloxone training was to prepare for moments like this.
Our patrol team witnessed a homeless individual in medical distress receiving CPR for an overdose.
Our team helped administer the Naloxone, while 911 was called for an ambulance. The quick thinking actions of our patrol team saved a life. The individual is safely recovering.
Thank you Engaged Communities for the Naloxone training. We are proud of our KidsPlay volunteers!

"Approximately 5 years ago, the Kidsplay team participated in the Surrey Vaiskahi Nagar Kirtan, an auspicious occasion celebrating the birth of the Khalsa (a designation bestowed to Sikhs by the 10th Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji). We entered a float into the parade. On the morning of the event, a skinny kid showed up to volunteer at the event.
He was an international student. He did not have any family here, but he had a desire to serve the community and give back. From 8 am in the morning till 4 pm, he walked behind the float, handing out water and food for the entire duration. I never saw him rest and he never complained. His enthusiasm was unmatched.
At the end of the day, as the float came to a rest at the Gurdwara (Sikh Temple), we were all completely exhausted and our energy spent. Being obviously impressed with this particular volunteer’s remarkable dedication, I put my hand on his shoulder and told him his work ethic was inspiring.
I asked him his name, his response, Nafees Feroz. It took me a moment to grasp the significance of it all. I was talking to a young Muslim boy, whose faith rested in a completely different religion. Yet, his tremendous exuberance and tireless efforts throughout the entire day never signalled or indicated that he was anything but Sikh.
When I asked him about this, he answered without hesitation, “Seva is Seva” (service is service). Regardless of caste, creed, ethnicity, race or religion, humanity prevails above all. His service was a beacon of hope for so many. As the universe would have it, everything comes full circle. [Last week] he was presented with the Queens Platinum Jubilee Award and I had the honour of pinning it on his lapel.
Love you kid" 💛
