“Charlie is a social enterprise. Vision behind the café – We want to support the work of the indigenous people.

“One component of it is to buy vegetables from orang asli. Buy from them and support their work. We will be happy to employ this group of people.

“To plough back to the community, we ask customers to buy RM5 vouchers. Needy, homeless people…any working class people, you can take and just makan. We are not going to question them.”

Desonny said the response to the campaign has been overwhelming and hoped it will continue in the months to come.
