Awareness Starts from the Young
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
And this is so true that when children are aware of their surroundings with the guidance of great parents and guardians, they can be nurtured as better human beings.
We were very privileged to experience such an opportunity when we were given open doors to promote poverty awareness in Malaysia through this nursery preschool.
Children were given opportunity to experience food of different nations, but at the same time are given talk to be aware that there are many other children who are not as privileged as them.
During the free flow counter we were very blessed to get to know the food and culture from other countries, some of them were volunteers by the parents, dressing up according to the country.
And through this event, we were very blessed with great response by the parents and attendees who donated much needed items especially for single moms and aboriginal families alike.
The donations were abundant and we had to get the vans to carry them back to the Food bank for re-arrangements and stock take before sending out to crucial needy families.
At this final quarter of the year, we are just so blessed and grateful for such open doors; and we hope that with this awareness program, more families will know their fellow countrymen's suffering and be able to provide a helping hand.
So far, even though Malaysia has been suffering on the down side on the economy abundance, givers are still coming in. This truly showcases the beautiful hearts of Malaysians (and its residents) in the spirit of giving.
We would also like to thank @fundition and @adollaraday's generosity in helping us to round up as much as we can by the end of the year in order not only to be given to the poor, but we hope that one day this account could be part of the Steemit loving community to give back in the future.
Hence this post is targeted for a full power up
We also would like to thank @teammalaysia and @steemxp for their support for larger exposure and awareness for those who are in need in Malaysia.

Thank you very much @manka and @kedjom-keku . We truly appreciate your effort to help us spread the awareness. We target to achieve as much awareness as possible throughout Malaysia and we welcome sponsors from all around the world.
Most important is that we hope that this movement will inspire many more people from their respective countries to do the same for their homeland, because poverty pandemic is there when no one knows; and with a tiny help of each individual, it gathers much strength to assist those who are in need.
Best wishes,

that would be fabulous, this project helps with the feeding and education of girls in orphanages and low-income people.
We hope one day to grow as much as to do everything you do.
God bless you. (:
Truly amazing work guys!! :') is there any way that local Malaysians can help out?
Hello @arwinzen , yes. Actually we are starting to plan our Christmas lunch celebration for the kids and the under privileged families in December; and we welcome those who would like to join the experience by contacting @littlenewthings . @elizacheng and the girls helped a little last year preparing the presents for the kids, you can verify with her. @craftsofluv prepared the thank you card decorations.
Once we have set on the meeting details, counter of what we already have and see what else the kids needs this year.
In the mean time, we are still targeting to reach a stable $300 a month for fresh produce supplies to the families, so your upvotes are very much valuable for us to reach the target.
Best regards
Daily Bread Food Bank
Wow... Time flies. It's been almost a year now... will get in touch with @littlenewthings on the date to see if we can make it this year to help again.
