Heartwarming Ramadan: Family Sets Up Gifting Booth at Tampines HDB to Help Those in Need

Ramadan’s Good‑Vibes: The Corner Store That Keeps the Charity Flowing

During the holy month of Ramadan, it’s no surprise to see mosques, charities, and NGOs lighting up with their own acts of kindness. These star‑spots of generosity keep the spirit alive, one good deed at a time.

Meet Asanul Fariq Sani & His Sweet Initiative

All this year, the Sani crew decided to join the movement. They opened up a little gift shop right off their front step, turning their home at 268 Tampines St 21 into a hub of hope.

Here’s the scoop:

• The store’s name? Infaq Corn­er – or Kindness Corner in casual English.
• When did it open? The very first day of Ramadan, April 13th.
• Why the name? “Infaq” is a smooth Arabic word that captures the spirit of redistributing wealth and doing good without expecting anything back.
• The twist? It’s set right at the front door of a normal family house, a surprise for anyone who passes by.

Why It’s Genuinely Charming

Picture this: you’re out for a quick stroll and the shop pops up just outside your home. No fancy storefront, no hype – just a friendly smile and a hand‑picked assortment of gifts waiting to be shared with those who need them most.

It’s a reminder that generosity doesn’t have to be magnified in a big city square; it can bloom right in your own neighborhood. And in a time of reflection and community, those simple moments of giving become the highlights of the holy month.

Keep the Spirit Alive

If you’re feeling inspired, why not create your own corner of kindness? Sometimes, the smallest steps create the biggest ripples.

Fariq Family’s Free‑Food Mission: A Heart‑warming Community Hype

Every morning after the sun rises, Fariq and his crew stash a stack of goodies on little tables right outside their home. These tables are like a free buffet—open 24/7, no reservations, just grab what you need.

What’s on the Menu?

• Rice – between 50 and 70 bags swoosh out each day.
• Milo, coffee, Lipton tea – fuel for those early‑bird commuters.
• Prayer garments – tudung and baju kurung for the soul‑hungry.

Speedy Supply

Every time they set a fresh batch out, folks it all within a day. Thanks to a trickle of social‑media buzz, the family can refill up to five times a day—easily keeping the crowds happy.

Applause in the Digital Realm

On Fariq’s personal Facebook page, the comments are pouring in: “Your family is the real heroes! Keep it up!” The community response has outpaced what even the family imagined.

Bottom line

What started as a modest, 24‑hour charity drive has turned into a viral act of kindness that’s literally conveniently free for everyone. Bravo, Fariq—your family turned their kitchen into a community pantry and the world was the lucky guest!

Caring Through the Kitchen

Fariq and his wife, Norhasyimah Awaludin, are not your average primary school canteen vendors. They’ve swapped snack trays for a sprinkle of heart and a whole lot of hope.

See the Spread

“Seeing folks arrive from places like Redhill, Choa Chu Kang, and Jurong really opened my eyes,” she says, wiping a smile from her face. “It’s a stark reminder that not everyone’s lives are a walk in the park.”

Bootstrapping for a Good Cause

With just a modest $3,000</b) snatched from their own wallets, our dynamic duo launched a charity project that’s already turning heads.
