Deepavali Cheers with RC MetroKL and Sai Ananda Centre @Pulau Carey




It is always fascinating to see how community projects are carried out

About 300 families who lived in the plantation were invited to the event.



Volunteers sorting out saris and Deepavali snacks to be distributed out

Provisions such as rice and oil would also be given to each family


The families arrived in the back of tractors



Observing prayers at the entrance of the temple



Volunteers from Sai Ananda squeezing lime



A huge tub of refreshing lime juice



Preparing banana leaves for lunch



Slicing green bananas for spicy banana chips


Banana chips

Spices


Huge pots to fill up.

There were about 600 people to feed. We were all hungry smelling the aroma wafting from the kitchen


Mint leaves for chutney

A Rotarian showing off his skills with a cleaver


A huge kuali of delicious curry. Only vegetarian food was being prepared

Good Exercise


Feet apart, bend over , keep knees straight, stretch out hands, fingers out then dig in!



The volunteers came from all walks of life.
All with one common goal - to share a little Deepavali cheer with the families deep within a palm oil estate
