Public holiday? What holiday?
Because hunger doesnβt take a break β so neither do we.
This morning, with volunteer Isiah Ong by my side, we got to work early β knowing that many Poor & Needy families were already messaging, begging for food. Message after message.
Call after call.
The desperation was real. Their groceries? Finished. Gone. Zero.
By 10.00am, we loaded up 9 Food Banks and hit the road! Each is worth about RM210.
First stop β
Serene Park: 5 Food Banks given out to families with nothing left in their kitchen.
Then to PPR Flats, Kempas: 4 more Food Banks β received with trembling hands and grateful smiles.
Next, we zoomed over to:
Village Grocer @ Paradigm Mall (under TLFP β The Lost Food Project) for surplus bread.
Then to Kenjo Bakery @ The Crest, Austin (also under TLFP).
Still not done β we rushed to: Bistari Indah to collect 150 packs of cooked rice β lovingly sponsored daily by Shoku-ya Japanese restaurant.
Back to our HQ to distribute the bread and rice to waiting families, and thenβ¦
To Seri Alam to visit Makcik Dayang, a true hero.
β
Sheβs caring for 10 children β not hers.
The parents? One ran off with another woman. The other, with another man.
She was left with the children⦠and we were left with one choice:
To help. Because thatβs what humanity looks like.
We paid for her RM650 monthly house rental for Jun.
Gave her cooked rice, bread, and buns
And THEN β surprised all the kids in the neighbourhood with Walls Ice Cream Galore! Generously sponsored by Walls Ice Cream!
You shouldβve seen their faces β children so poor, some barely eat proper mealsβ¦
And suddenly, ICE CREAM?!
It was magic. It was joy. It was love in action.
No fancy office. No red carpets. Just roads, sweat, and the drive to serve.
On this public holiday, while many were out relaxing β
We were out doing what we do best:
Serving with Love & Humility
Because Malaysia is our home β and EVERYONE deserves to eat.
