As usual, our dedicated volunteers wore their big SMILES during the delivery, a reflection of their joy in being able to do their bit to help the less fortunate.
While Bro Andrew shouldered the box of groceries and a bag of 10kg rice up 4 flights of stairs to deliver to Puan Fazilah, Bro Swee Keong handed over groceries to Puan Zabiyah and Puan Padmini, all in Taman Melati.
Since I was there early with a couple of friends, we also visited our Happy Child Siti Nurmaisara (suffering from Cystic Fibrosis), who was recently discharged from GHKL after being treated for dengue fever for the past 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the dengue fever caused her sugar level to rise and she is now being treated for diabetes with insulin.
These friends actually came along to present "duit raya" to the Malay families, a generous amount of RM500 per family.
We then proceeded to PPR Desa Rejang, where another 8 families received their groceries.
Six Malay families in this PPR also received their "duit raya" which will definitely come in handy for last minute purchases of new clothes and raya cookies.
Puan Fazidah and her family were delighted with the surprise gift. Her eldest daughter did well in her SPM exam last year and is now doing matriculation in a local university.
Aida, who is our very capable "leader" in Desa Rejang, also helped us source for an orphanage for us to celebrate Raya. Do look out for our blog post on this very soon.
We truly appreciate the generosity of our donors for the groceries and the "duit raya" and of course our volunteers who helped with the delivery today ... a BIG THANK YOU on behalf of the families.
We wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin.
