new grounds

After reaching out to some of our friends in Pudu bus stop, we were told that Pudu bus terminal is their put-up point at night. More than 50 homeless men and women sleep on the hard benches after the last bus leaves and at 5am, they will take leave when bus commuters start flocking into the terminal.

Having discovered such, KSK decided to venture into Pudu bus terminal at the wee hours of night for a second round of drop-off. The news is proven genuine. So many withered eyes n tired limbs drenched over the the stone benches! A small group of KSK volunteers went around passing bags of cookies, cakes and water to our less fortunate friends (some of whom were fast asleep).

a humanitarian cause and its inception

Inspired H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK) is set up and run by a most diverse group of volunteers (from high-flying business owners to young aspiring professionals). We gathered at the Keh residence, brain-stormed and ironed out teething issues over Chinese tea, and elected the KSK committee in front of Holy Vajrayogini.
