Since the start of Ramadan on April 13, Fariq and his family have set up an infaq, which is a type of charity for others right outside of their home in Tampines. You can find the following items on the table are:
- Instant noodles
- Cream crackers
- Canned food
- Instant coffee
- Rice
- Cooking oil
- Prayer garment
- Tudung
- Baju kurung
These items are free for anyone to take and no question will be asked, this stall will be open 24 hours a day, rain and shine. So far they have given away up to 70 packets of rice and around 200 packets of drinks like milo, instant coffee, and tea bags too. They found out that they have people who came as far as from Redhill, Choa Chu Kang and Jurong and it is heartening to see those with disabilities come all the way from their home.
The couple who work together as primary school canteen vendors have to spend around $3,000 from their own savings into this initiative together with $2,000 donations from others who wanted to support them.
