HELP NEEDED....
Sorry thought my last email would have been my last update to you but something came up that needs our help. In 2009 some friends and I are going to start a new programme to serve free meals to the homeless/destitute, old and needy around the Sungei Road, Jalan Besar and Rowell Road area.
In affluent Singapore you’ll be surprised how many people live below the poverty line. You’ve seen them, it’s the very old aunty nearly bent double with age and hard work collecting used cardboard boxes or the old uncle who calls the void deck of a H.D.B. flat home.
We need volunteers to help prepare food, serve, clear tables and wash up. If you want to help, please send me an email at grant@singapore.com (Note: Not sure if this is a valid email address) with your mobile number and when you can help ie weekdays, weekends etc. We are still finalising plans but will probably start with one meal a week until we get more experience and then increase the frequency.
We also need sponsors and donations to help get us started. Ideally we would need NTUC supermarket gift vouchers so we can buy exactly what we need. Secondly you can start a food drive in your school or office.
We need stuff like canned food, rice, cooking oil, noodles, milo, horlicks, syrup and medicated soap and shampoo to hand out with the meals.
As I’ll be without an office when I come back on the 6th January, please hold on to your donations till I get back. NTUC vouchers can be mailed to me at Block 503 Pasir Ris Street 52 #02-237 Singapore 510503, please write your email and name on envelope.
I look forward to your generous spirit to make this soup kitchen happen. Individually we might not be able to do much but collectively we can move mountains.
Cheers

P.S. I'm not a member of GVN but I thought there's no harm in posting this online....
