Road to Selama



From As's nephew, we got a list of the hardcore poor people around the country. The nephew/ cousin followed some NGO group to visit these places, so it is a first hand experience. Upon checking the List, we decided that our target for this year would be:

Ijok, Selama, Perak









The conditions that these people call these places their homes are quite appalling! Sometimes you do wonder where all the 'zakat' money goes too cause it seems that these people definitely deserved the allocations without a doubt.







Photos taken back in 2008.




























Based on the List given, there were about 100 families that we can distribute clothing + food + etc. We set up a Committee to plan + organise the distribution, which took them about 2-3 months to plan.










This started about during the month of February 2010.
The whole process of planning, distributing, rearranging, packing was tiring, but it was worth it!! After all, it is for a good cause....



















On 16 April 2010, all packaging were packed + ready to be shipped out the next day.
Now getting ready to load into the lorry
