The plan for Syawal Feeding started a month ago, with event created in FB to get sponsors. And the next four weeks was just simply amazing with the amount of items collected. Hats off to the unsung heroes who keep donating the items till our Shah Alam 'store room' was overflow.. ;) Its really heart warming to know food stuff such as sardines and condensed milk just keep coming in. However, due to unforseen circumstances at the last minute, the intended program had to be cancel and new recipients was needed. Thanks to Dr Azma & Roshida who managed to get in touch with PPR Bt Muda Committee, whom became the new recipients. The Committee was more than happy to receive the proposal to help the needies, and the rest is history :)
For each recipient, items given are 2 cans of sardines, 2 cans of condensed milk, 1kg flour, 1 bag of ketupat, 1 box of dates, 1 packet of beehoon and 1 tray of eggs. Upon final collection, the team had a great tasks packing the stuff and getting things ready for the D-day.

Our contribution may not be much to an average family, but it would mean
a lot to the needies for this festive season. It makes a lot of difference from our little efforts for them in this festive season. We complete the groceries handover to the families within 25 minutes after the speech!
Thank you just dont reflect my appreciation to the team working on the background to get this whole thing going. Hats off to the Committee members of PPR Bt Muda for logistics and arrangement of the event, Dr Azma and Roshidah for linking them to 1M1c, and not forgetting the sponsors who have answer the call of duty whenever a request for donor is raised and also our volunteers who have contribute in many ways. And lastly, not forgetting the photographers who did a great job capturing the events as one picture worth a thousand words. We also received request to help 2 families by providing long term monthly groceries to them and we are happy to provide assistance.
Till next month! :)
