I visited one of GCS children homes. Children there welcomed me very warmly. GCS staff told me that drug abuse and gamble addictions were big issues in Malaysia. Children are always very vulnerable with those social problems. Hope food banking can contribute to lessening the pain of the victims of those problems.
