Food Charity Drive

It has been some time since my last charity work due to busy schedules. I got a chance to do this charity through my friend, they have been distributing necessities to the needys & elderly island wide for 10 over years.
And this time, it's their first time collaborating with another organization so I decided to help out too. 
When we got there, we went to the wrong block as another organization is also distributing necessities to the lower income group. Nevertheless, we still manage to get to the right place. 
After reaching, we transferred all the plastic bags from the car to the void deck while the organization admin make their preparation. There's a total of 7 cars to deliver these bags over. 


They had prepared almost 100 bags of necessities for the needys. Their usual practice will be house visiting to communicate with them to see if they need any other further help. However, because of the partnership with the organization, we will be distributing at block void deck. 


While the admins are preparing the documentation & paper work, crowds are slowing moving in, waiting for their names to be called to collect the food rations. 



Knowing there will be a lot of elderly, my friend prepared 100 bottles of ointment which he made himself. He bought the snow lotus(雪莲) that grows in the mountain at about 4 to 5000 metres in Tibet. As taught by the Tibet master, he came back and soak with rice wine & "tian qi" for a year. The ointment helps people with rheumatism & arthritis, joint pain. My mum & many aunties had tried & feedbacks are all good. 


The whole event took almost 5 hours to finish. Although it had been a tiring day, but it's definitely meaningful & worth to help other people who are in need. 


Living in Singapore is so much fortunate than in other countries. I had travelled to a few countries & had seen people who lived in slumpy houses, homeless, children playing with rubbish and much more. 

Due to the inflation & increasing medical cost, the lower income group are not able to sustain their existing expenses. 
While we still have the ability, we should contribute back to the society & help the rest. 

After the event, I'm so motivated to organize charity work myself. As my time is flexible, I'll be coming up with a few events to help out the needys which I'll share in the blog. 
If you are keen or interested, you may drop us an email to notify us.
