A gift to our Garbage collectors

Dec 19, 2020

KUALA LUMPUR: Our garbage collectors, the people that play the important role of preventing our rubbish from piling up, the ones that keep our lives comfortable, are often the ones that go neglected.

Do we know their names, let alone what they look like? This year’s season of Advent is slightly different, but we must not be turned away from the opportunity to give hope, peace and joy to the people around us — including the dustmen.

St John Paul II Teens Ministry from Jesus Caritas Church, Kepong, are initiating ‘A gift to our Garbage collectors’ during this season of Advent.

Here are some ways to reach out to the dustmen  (including the ones in the poster) and a few additional things to consider: 

Angpows would be preferred for each dustman. If not, here’s a  recommended list to consider (one set per dustman): 

–– A pack of razors 
–– Toothpaste 
–– Cordial drink bottle 
–– Salt
–– Tea bags 
–– Coffee
–– Biscuits 
––Bars of soap 
–– Shampoo
–– Maggie Mee

Since the truck has limited space, please pack these items in a tall box that doesn’t take too much space on the seat.
