Delivering Hope Boxes and Rebuilding the East Coast

Ernest Ong and Bruce Wong are pub managers who wanted to help with the flood relief in the East Coast, collecting RM100,000 worth of supplies and delivering them to those affected within three days. They decided to organize a second mission in collaboration with Pete Nicoll of Reach OUT Malaysia to deliver boxes of hope - stove, kettle, pots and everything else - that are badly needed to rebuild and restart the lives of many. We speak to them to find out lessons they learned from the first mission, the situations on the ground, and the scale of this second mission.
