Volunteers host street festive do


Pertiwi volunteers dishing out food for the homeless in Kuala Lumpur.GLENN GUAN/The Star

HARI Raya is a time for self-reflection, forgiveness and spending time with family and of course, feasting on delicious food, be it at home or at open houses. However, there are those who are down on their luck and have next to nothing, which can be painful during the festive season.

A typical Friday night for a group of corporate figures usually revolves around friends and socialising to wind down after a busy week. But for a few doctors and bank executives, they sacrifice their night out to help the needy and feed the homeless at Pertiwi Soup Kitchen in downtown Kuala Lumpur.
