PERTIWI Soup Kitchen

Hello peeps. You must be wondering what and why PERTIWI? PERTIWI does not mean mempertahankan ibu pertiwi atau ibu negeri. PERTiWI is an acronym for Pertubuhan TIndakan Wanita Islam.

"Pertubuhan Tindakan Wanita Islam Malaysia atau ringkasnya PERTIWI ialah sebuah pertubuhan sukarela yang berorientasikan projek. Semenjak ditubuhkan pada tahun 1967, PERTIWI telah melaksanakan berbagai-bagai aktiviti kemasyarakatan, kebajikan, sosial dan keagamaan yang semuanya berteraskan pendidikan, khusus untuk wanita, remaja dan kanak-kanak.

Menyedari bahawa sesebuah masyarakat yang maju dan progresif cuma dapat dibentuk menerusi pendidikan dan pelajaran, maka PERTIWI, dengan sokongan daripada berbagai-bagai pihak seperti Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat, ahli-ahli, dan orang perseorangan, telah bergerak cergas bagi mencapai kelima-lima matlamat dan tujuan penubuhan. Didik Wanita Terdidiklah Bangsa." source from PERTIWI .

  

"Telaga Minyak Jaafar and its employees raised funds for the Pertubuhan Tindakan Wanita Islam (Pertiwi) Soup Kitchen Project.

The project was started in March last year to provide meals to the homeless and hard core poor at locations such as Jalan Chow Kit, Kompleks Dayabumi, Puduraya and Jalan Masjid India every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 9pm.

The food packages, which cost between RM2.50 and RM3.50, consist of rice, protein (egg, chicken or fish), vegetables and a banana.

To raise funds for the project, Telaga Minyak Jaafar's community projects committee organised an auction which offered employees the chance to play a round of golf with the company chairman, enjoy a meal cooked and served by the company chairman and special parking privileges, among others.

Telaga Minyak Jaafar said the committee had worked with Pertiwi Soup Kitchen late last year to arrange for employees to help distribute meals for ten weeks and make donations to support the project.

"Our employees were so touched and humbled by the experience that they decided to raise more funds for the soup kitchen project.

"It was agreed that the company would match funds raised Ringgit for Ringgit," said Telaga Minyak Jaafar.

Pertiwi Soup Kitchen chairman Munirah Abdul Hamid said: "When we started the project last year, little that we imagine the awareness and support we could get from it.

Munirah said the RM78,000 donation would allow them to provide about 22,000 meal packages.

Pertiwi founder Datuk Rahmah Abdul Hamid said: "When we started the project last year, we provided only about 200 food packages each night but now we are providing about 300 as there are more and more people queuing for food each night." Times

Our first spot - Chow Kit Road

The volunteers : Kak Syima, Mizah, Watie, Fairuz and Najwa.

They were distributing the brown bags which contain nasi lemak, banana, bun and drinks.

We proud to serve the needy yet deep down inside we were touched by the scenery.

They were old, homeless and some were disable.

The Inseparable gang of the nite.

Somebody bought 3 new shoes just for PERTIWI-_-

They helped the needy with sincerity.

This event instill the spirit of self awareness and never take things for granted.

They are numbers of unfortunate people around us without food, home and cares.

Can you imagine your mom or your dad are queing on the street, begging for foods

and late in the middle of the night, they sleep at the inappropriate place without

bed and blanket?

We were the BECOK gurls.

Jauhkanlah kami daripada sebarang malapetaka serta tempatkan kami bersama orang-orang yang beriman". Amin
