I would like to share the story of a group
who dedicates their time to help the poor and the homeless. Kechara Soup
Kitchen is a non-profit charitable body that feeds the poor and homeless of
Kuala Lumpur. They are located in Jalan Imbi. Their soup kitchen is open for
the poor and homeless every day and every Saturday the Kechara team and their
volunteers roam the streets of Kuala Lumpur at night to give food for the
homeless. I find Kechara Soup Kitchen’s selfless service to the poor
heartwarming and compassionate. They
forego their Saturday night fun just to see the homeless receive a bit of food
and basic supplies. This is why I want more people to learn about what they are
doing. Perhaps we can learn a thing or two from their generous act and take it
to do it ourselves in the future.
As a part of our #SaySomethingNice
projects, we at zubedy are looking for donation for Kechara Soup Kitchen. As
the campaign is 17 days long, we feel that it’s best if we are able to find our
friends who want to fund food and supplies for Kechara Soup Kitchen during this
period. Your donation will go a long way to help the homeless of Kuala Lumpur
who are elderlies, dying patients, victims of natural disasters, children, as
well as cast members of society.
There are two ways which you can
help. You can sponsor a slot of your choosing. Your donation will be used to
buy vegetarian food and basic necessities such as toiletries, vitamins, and
ointment for the poor and homeless. You can also participate as a volunteer on
a Saturday night with the Kechara team.
Here is the step by step:
1. Choose your package,
depending on how much you want to donate. Please note that the slot you choose
correspond to the amount of donation needed. For example, if you choose to
donate for 2nd September 2013 which is a Monday, you will be donating RM1600
according to Package A. If you choose one of the Saturday slots, you are
donating RM2000 according to Package B.
2. Choose a slot of your
preference. You can either choose one slot during a weekday or one of the 4
slots of each Saturday. We at Zubedy have already booked our slot on the 31st
where we will be donating RM2000 and volunteering to distribute food for the
needy as well. This means there are three open slots on that day to be filled.
As shown below, there are 14 slots of
week days, while the Saturday slots are divided into 4 smaller ones making the
total of 26 slots. Staff at zubedy has taken the first slot on the 31st August.
As such we are looking for another 25 sponsors to give food to the homeless
during the 17 days.
3. Book your slot with us by
dropping a line at Nazrin 03-7727 0758/019-244 0429 or email him at nazrin@zubedy.com. You can also call him
for further inquiries.
So
let us lend a helping hand to the homeless and make their lives a little bit better.
With our donation, an elderly on the streets is able to sleep with a full tummy
and a homeless mother of two can see her children eat. During these 17 days, we
should put aside our differences and help those who are in need, because hunger
knows no boundaries.
