My friend is the ultimate Lekkawaan. He's the type of person who not only holds the elevator door open for you when he sees you rushing but also organizes a neighborhood cleanup just because he thinks the streets could use a little sprucing up. Legend has it, he once carried a stranger's groceries all the way to their doorstep just because their bags looked heavy.
