Kechara Soup Kitchen, Penang
I am very proud of Patsy Gooi, my long time friend and student, who has not only founded Kechara Paradise Penang, but also started the Penang chapter of Kechara Soup Kitchen. May Kechara Soup Kitchen Penang grow and benefit many. I have known Patsy for over a decade. She is another very loyal student. Now she has taken the step to not only manage our Kechara Paradise Outlet in Penang, but also to start doing work by feeding the homeless in Penang under the Kechara Soup Kitchen banner. Wonderful. Our Kechara Soup Kitchen is now inspiring more people to feed the homeless and take action to give back to the community. I am indeed proud of Patsy. Thank you Patsy!!

Dear Rinpoche,
We gave out 50 packets of food to the homeless tonight. Most of them were regulars and about 20 of them around a shopping complex. The volunteers were Jess, William and a newcomer C.K. Lim who also sponsored mineral water.
Goodnight and rest well.
Patsy

Hi There,

Thank you
All these years I have been very fascinated and curious about the traditions and mystical charms of Tibetian Buddhism. Even though I have read many books on it cannot be compared to my visiting KP Penang with Patsy’s excellent explanation and more so when I heard Rinpoche’s talk on the CD, it really clear a lot of my doubts and queries concerning the dhamma practice.Its so simple yet profound and penetrating deep into our hearts with just some short simple phrases. Even more surprising is that Patsy single handedly raise funds to set up KP. What a Super Woman! Millions of thanks to you for opening my eyes and heart into the magical world of Tibet and Lama Tsongkhapa.
Patsy inspired me with whatever she did in dharma work and more and more volunteers involved in KSK in Penang now.Thanks to Patsy and all the volunteers involved ,the homeless get food and water and may we can help them out of the street in future.
Congratulations Patsy! Keep going for Kechara. You Boleh!
Even if Kechara Soup Kitchen, Kuala Lumpur were to grow very big with hundreds and hundreds of packets of food being distributed to the
homeless on the streets. A person will not start distributing food without having a touch of deep feeling of sincerity and compassion for the plight of the homeless. Due to the inspiration from her sister Ruby Khong starting Kechara Soup Kitchen, Kuala Lumpur. This has prompted Patsy to start going on rounds during the weekdays nights to distribute a few packets of food to start with. This has increased so she decided to officially start Kechara Soup Kitchen Penang. This is all due to Lord Setrap help’s as Patsy also has started and lead her customers and friends to do Setrap Puja in her outlet Kechara Paradise Penang which she is also managing.
I am very proud of you! Your sincerity towards Rinpoche and kechara Organisation.
You are a lady of leisure but you have chosen to work hard in dharma and benefiting others. Your sincerity and go all the way, will inspires lots of your friends and others later. Because of what you are, KSK will manifest in Penang in the very near future. All The Best To Patsy! Thank you

Thank you all for the lovely comments. It’s an inspiration for me to even work harder to benefit others. At present, we have increased our food distribution to 100packets due to kind sponsors and more volunteers coming in to help in the distribution.
May we have a building to provide more facilities to the homeless in Penang soon!!!
At least its a good start for Kechara Soup Kitchen, Penang with at least 50packets of food given out, as compared with what KSK Kuala Lumpur has achieved on their first go with only 35 packets. So this should serve as an inspiration and pride that through you KSK Penang forms the first link to feed the homeless and help them off the streets. KSK KL was like your Penang KSK at the start, but what they have achieved today is purely due to hard work, effort and good support of each and everyone, particularly the sponsors and Media, not forgetting those who volunteered too. Like your sister Ruby Khong, you may be known as angel of the street No:2 if your Penang KSK can spread like KL. Congrats to you, Patsy.
I must say it is a great experience going out to distribute food to the homeless. It is humbling to see so many homeless in the streets by nightfall. All thanks to Patsy and Jess, I get to support this good cause. KSK in Penang will definitely grow bigger!
Despite her petite appearance, Patsy is really a strong pillar of strength – may she establish more pillars!
We are really proud to have Patsy here in Penang. The energy she puts in is inmeasurable. I rejoice for the Penang KSP volunteer team for continuing to do such a wonderful job. Lots of effort has been put in with such a small team only. Incrediblely Penang is distributing food on a weekday & not weekend as in KSK, KL. Despite the next day is a workday, the team still managed to stay on late to do the distribution rounds.
