I was walking in One Utama last month and I happen to pass by this group of volunteers trying to reach out to the shoppers. I glance through the whole set up and knew what it was about. I've heard of the soup kitchen and what they're trying to do - Feed The Poor. I took some pamphlets and ask one of the volunteers about Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK). (You may click on the name to find out more about them in their website)
Kechara Soup Kitchen is a Community Action Group, which consist of volunteers from all walks of life distributing food to the homeless and urban poor in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Their Motto "Hunger Knows No Barriers" tells of of giving regardless of race, gender, religion or culture. Every Saturday no matter what happens, a group of volunteers will gather in the centre of Kuala Lumpur to distribute Halal Food and offer First Aid to the homeless.
Kechara Soup Kitchen is in need of volunteers and funds to continue helping the homeless in Kuala Lumpur. If you can lend a helping hand in any possible way please do. You may even BLOG about them and spread the word so that the public will me more aware of Kechara Soup Kitchen's objectives and existence.
