Deepavali, the festival of lights, symbolically represents the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. As we celebrate this joyous occasion, let’s also remember those who are less fortunate. Zeles is proud to feature the Rough Sleeper Project by The New Charis Mission (TNCM), one of our partner organisations!
The Rough Sleeper Project is a home improvement project in partnership with the MSF to provide a conducive living environment for the elderly who are homeless. This involves cleaning, repainting and refurbishing a house for elderly who are homeless. Here’s what one of the volunteers, Vic, had to say:
“As an ex-offender, it hasn’t always been easy. Thankfully through TNCM, I have been given the opportunity to bond with others, serve the community and change my life! During COVID, it is even more important for the homeless to have a safe place to sleep in. I am happy to contribute to the Rough Sleeper Project.
Volunteering requires commitment and must come from the heart. Where there’s a will, there’s a way! The appreciation and satisfaction I receive from serving is priceless - the Vo-points from Zeles is just a bonus. I redeem these points for Carl's Jr. and Popular vouchers and give them to my children. I believe it brightens their day!”
