Food Drive

Last week, Mr. Derick told us about this campaign called "Food Drive".





No, not the McD Drive-Thru.


It is a campaign in we provide free food for the homeless people (around Malaysia only I think).




One thing that strike my mind the most is that, Mr. Derick told us about an incident where he encountered an old lady. That old lady asked him for food. He then gave her a packet of Tiger Biscuit which was in his bag. The lady was so grateful and said that this one packet of biscuits could lasted her for three days.





I finished one whole packet during tea time.


See, many of us consider having meal as a routine but these people(homeless) don't. They won't even know when there will be food for them, let alone being full. They don't ask for anything else but food that can fill their stomach and keep them alive.

I might as well think that this is the time where those luxurious stuff (eg: PSP, iPhone, LV bags) becomes ashes for them. What comes to them now are the basic necessities. Food, clothes,shelter and transport. Food, perhaps being the most important thing among the four, as it is essential for survival.


I'm not sure how exactly are we going to involve in this campaign and what kind of food suits them most but I'm pretty sure that Tiger Biscuit definitely won't go wrong with it.



cause even air hostesses use it to pacify small kids. XD
