Making it their business to help others


Team effort: Jerryson and his colleagues from Viva Starfish organising a recruitment drive for the homeless community in Kuala Lumpur. (Right) Jerryson and his wife Edna started Viva StarFish in March 2015.

IT is close to 10 o’clock on a Friday night when Jerryson Abraham Doss, his wife Edna Sung Burongoh and a small group of Good Samaritans with them start setting up tables along the five-foot way on Jalan Hang Lekiu in Kuala Lumpur. The pavements are lined with street dwellers who gather there in anticipation of the many do-gooders who drop off food for the homeless.

Jerryson and his team wait patiently.
