Mrs Drishti Bablani and her team of

41 volunteers have again made it to

the Singapore Book of Records.

On May 24, they were awarded a

certificate by Mountbatten MP Lim

Biow Chuan for making the largest

donation of rice to charities collected

from the public this year.

The team from The Kindness Rip-

ple, a movement started by

Mrs Bablani in April 2018 to collect

and donate food to charity organisa-

tions, donated 35,280kg of rice (equiv-

alent to 7,056 packs of 5kg rice) to six

beneficiaries: Willing Hearts, Sunlove

Home, Sree Narayana Mission, Food

from the Heart, Society for the Aged

Sick and Annalakshmi Community

Meals Programme.

“What you have achieved is amaz-

ing,” said Mr Lim. “At a time when

everyone is struggling and many busi-

nesses are in bad shape, you were able

to motivate so many people to step

forward and say ‘count me in, I want

to have a positive impact on the life of

others’.

“You have helped elevate others.

You are the people who make Singa-

pore special.”

Mrs Bablani and her team of volun-

teers broke their own record.

In 2019, she and 36 others col-

lected and donated 2,010 packs of 5kg

rice (equivalent to 10,050kg of rice) to

Food Bank Singapore.

The initiative got the group into the

Singapore Book of Records.

The previous record was held by

Nam Hong Welfare Service Society. It

held a charity fair at Northpoint City

from Aug 31 to Sept 2 in 2018 and

collected 700 packs of 5kg rice.

Mrs Bablani, 45, a Singaporean IT

professional working with Standard

Chartered Bank, said “it feels good to

see that the ripples are now turning to

waves and we are creating greater

impact”.

She added: “It is heartwarming to

see people opening their hearts and

pockets to help others despite the

tough times. I am overwhelmed with

emotion and gratitude.”

Last year, The Kindness Ripple

team could do only a limited rice

collection drive due to the Covid-19

pandemic. They donated 855kg of rice

to the Annalakshmi Migrant Workers

Meal Programme.

“What The Kindness Ripple team is

doing is fantastic,” said Willing Hearts

founder Tony Tay. “Thank you for

donating 17,000kg of rice to us.

“It will provide about 10,000 meals

a day to poor, needy, disabled, sick

and homeless people in Singapore.”
