Kota Kinabalu: A noble collaboration of nine non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and two companies carried out a special mission of exchanging domestic garbage to food baskets involving 463 families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in Pulau Gaya here.They worked together to ensure implementation of the “Misi Jelajah Kasih” themed “Trash for Food” for the islanders by educating them on the awareness of looking after cleanliness at the island and treasure the ocean surrounding them, at the same time.
Sabah Caring Community Squad Association (KPS) coordinated the programme that was an initiative of nine NGOs including individual and two private companies donating various food to create 463 food baskets.
