Apart from volunteering at the school, we also have another social engagement project called "Dapur Jalanan" at Kelab Bangsar Utama on the 20th of March. Its concept is based on something like "Soup Kitchen" with the sole purpose of preparing food for those homeless and needy people.
We went there to assist in the preparation and distribution of food to the homeless and personally, this opened up my sense of humanity during this project and for me, it was very inspiring because by conducting this project, we can help those needy people on the basic necessity they're lacking of - food. The food that we prepared on that day were Mayonnaise Egg Sandwiches, fruit salad and orange juice. During the process, I helped out in shelling eggs, preparing and packing sandwiches.
When we arrived at Jalan Panggung to set up our booth, I helped out in distributing out chicken rice to the homeless who are queuing up for food and whilst we were distributing, I am glad to witness humanity being restored as other volunteers including my team worked their hardest without complaining for one single intention which is to provide meals for the unfortunates as well as to be a lending ear to them as they share their background and experiences in life with me.
Besides, I am really impressed by the passion and kindness of those committe of "Dapur Jalanan" because they are willing to sacrifice their time and even take every small details from head to toe into consideration. For instance, the committee told us that they did some survey before creating the menu. They took note of what kind of food are simple and convenient but favorite of many as well and at the same time they concern about the type of food which are more suitable for those elderly to make sure everyone can get to savor their delicious meal conveniently. Although this is just a charity work but they do it wholeheartedly and for that, I truly respect them and I am inspired by their passion. Last but not least, we are really grateful to be able to receive their gratitude and appreciation towards us for carrying this project for them.
In conclusion, this "Dapur Jalanan" project is indeed a very meaningful activity that creates a positive impact to the society which we hope that more youths can contribute and create more positive impacts to the society!
