Dear friends and family,
Am pleased to bring you an update on our soup kitchen distribution.
Blue Stars Dormitory on 12 Oct 2011
What a breezy day it was
! Compared to other days when an hour in the kitchen = 2 hours of hot yoga
, Oct 12th was exceptional for our chefs – cloudy day with soothing breeze – just the perfect day to be in the kitchen!
The "breezy mode "continued till later in the evening at the dormitory. The crowd was thin in the beginning with just a few migrants in the queue. Our volunteers, who would normally be "scooping and serving" non-stop for an hour, had time to rest and chit-chat on a cool breezy evening
. All in all, we served 402 bowls of Sambar with rice, 100 packets of chicken rice, 450 hard-boiled eggs and distributed 100 packets of bread, 500 tea sachets & 410 bananas. Cheers to all
!
Our next soup kitchen is on Wed, 26 Oct 11 aka Deepavali
.
Instead of preparing sambar, our volunteers will roll up their sleeves to pack 1,000 Deepavali Celebration Goody Bags for the migrants. Each bag will have instant noodles, biscuits, bread buns and face towel. Thanks to the kind sponsorship from P&G (..thanks, Colin
), the men will also be getting razors and toothbrushes. In addition, Shawyn Lam, our sponsor for chicken rice, has decided to increase his sponsorship to 200 packets, specially for this Deepavali celebration…Watch this space….
