It was a sunny Friday and I was dropped off near a shop-lot in Chow Kit ! It must be almost 30 years since I have actually been to this area - except driving past it - Jalan Chow Kit !
Famous for its drug peddlers, sex workers and other crime. But the place has changed - there are some nice shops there now.
I was attending a GEW activity - at Rumah Nur Salam.
What was happening ? See the news report here.
I met some of the women you read in the report - it was simply an inspiring story : how a small loan from a large organization has impacted their lives.
No amount of impact analysis can capture the real impact here : when hungry stomachs are fed through sheer grit and determination to succeed, with a helping hand that shows the way and is not giving alms !
Well done Hong Leong Foundation. May God Bless you and the volunteers.
