Good Morning Everyone,
Am now writing this message while having a 3 days 2 nights holiday in Labuan, Malaysia.
It's the festive season and enjoying my stay in Grand Dorsett Labuan Hotel.
Was free in Christmas Day so decided to do a Condiments Giving project for a home which caters to Spastic Children & Adults.
The home however opens only Monday - Friday and to our dismay, office is not open on a Public Holiday.
So we took a step further, got some addresses and it leads to 3 of the school's recipients who reside in various parts of the island.
Headed straight to the Giant Supermarket and purchased the required basic condiments and also secured a 2 hr usage of vehicle support from the hotel staff.
My sincere thanks to Wan Paris (Duty Manager) & Fitri (Concierge cum driver) for allowing the usage of the vehicle.
Off we go, towards doing some good during the festivities........... 
=====================================================================================

These are the amount of items we bought:
Loading the condiments into the Van.
Since we could not get the condiments to the school, we sent the condiments to various recipient's homes.
Fitri supported us by driving to various locations and he is standing on the far left.
The shed behind everyone is the 1st recipient's home for many years even long before he was born.
A friend of mine wanted a close up shot with the kid. The gravel in the backdrop is a new house currently been built for this family as they qualified for a home upgrade.
The 2nd recipient is the one sitting on a green sofa chair.
He is also part of the adult program from the school.
He no longer attends the classes as moving around is a chore for him.
This picture do not show the 3rd recipient as she is off to collecting a scholarship in Kota Kinabalu.
An NGO had given an award to horn her tertiary skills. She had gone to receive it.
For these 2 boys, one of them is the younger brother of the 3rd recipient and the other boy is his friend.
The family's eldest brother had gone out for work. So they have to fend for themselves during his absence which is a daily routine.
The spirit is very strong in them though the hardship is a constant reality.
=====================================================================================
Many recipients battle hunger and shelter in a constant basis. To see or not to see is up to us.
Help as many as your ability allows and soon enough we will see betterment all around us.
This small event had touched my 3 friends as they did not know doing a simple deed as such during a holiday is possible.
For us, the journey of betterment for others has begin......
