to embark on their mission of spreading love and compassion. Armed with bags of
essential supplies, they set out to visit fourteen (14) families residing in Melaka City.
Each family received a package carefully prepared with items that would help

essential supplies but also conveyed a powerful message – that they were not
alone in their struggles, and there were people who cared about their well-being.
