Moreh Kita-Kita: Spreading Light, Sharing Blessings
Moreh is defined as a tradition for Muslims to have a light meal or snack after breaking fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
For the year of 2024, SD Guthrie International Professional wanted to give back to the community. Three nights, three mosques. The team had planned to collaborate ALIF, with other two brands, Able Farm & Beras Era in making it a success.. And it was…!
The first location took place at Surau At-Taqwa, Kampung Orang Asli Bukit Lagong, Gombak on the 13th of March. Buried deep into the inlands of Batu Caves, the team had gone there with another agency to assist in capturing the precious moments of the events. ALIF had donated margarine and cooking oil to help prepare iftar for the people there. Goodie bags were also prepared with ALIF’s 2kg Cooking Oil to be distributed after the moreh session.
The second location was at Surau Al-Kausar located in Bandar Tasik Puteri, Rawang on 16th March 2024. The location was centred around a friendly neighbourhood that participated in preparing the iftar meal to be served to around 300 people that day. Warm hands were shook and friendly faces greeted the team, making everybody feel like a big family.
Last but not least, the third and final location that we embarked on, is to connect on a personal level with the community is at Surau Mutiara Damansara on 20th March 2024. This location is embedded in a busy community, surrounded by shoplots and walking distance from nearby neighbourhoods. Recorded the highest number of participants, around 500 people, Surau Mutiara Damansara provided nothing but wonderful vibes all the way. The community was truly welcoming and heartwarming from start till end.
Visiting these communities not only allows the team to give back, but also strengthens relationships between one another on a deeper level. Stories were swapped, laughs were shared, and memories were made.
