The planning for CNY started right after Gombak Orang Asli feeding, started with the question "Do you want to do CNY feeding?". Well, I guess the rest is history! :) As Ainie and myself started to plan on who would be our target recipients, when to do it, what to donate, things beginning to start to fall into place. We posted the event on Facebook and spread the word, and donation started to come in. With donation coming from everywhere, the goodie bag's contents begin to grow!

As there are MANY places that we can help, the decision to help who is also not easy. We later decided that we would go back to the school (SRJK Hin Hua Klang), where we did our Back To School program last year. We had initially decided to deliver to every single home, but with 30 homes to distribute, it is unlikely we can finish in a 2 hours session due to the scattered locations the recipients are living. We managed to contact the school headmaster, which willingly allow us to use the school as a distribution point. The headmaster, Mr Leow and Asst. HM, Ms Tan was kind enough to inform the families for us by issuing a memo to the families to come over on Sunday. It was a relieve for Ainie and myself to know we have a place to distribute. Our worst case scenario would be doing it outside the school, which is along the road!
Donor started to arrive as early as 1000am, and we immediately unload the groceries, and as more donors came, we started to arrange for ease of collection later on. Parents and children begin to arrive and we start the registration. We have Mr Leow's two son to help with the registration of the parents and cross check with the name list supplied earlier. By 11am, we already have 18 families in the hall. As the school tried calling the balance of the 7 families, we start the event. I will let the photos speak for themselves here.....
