Saffron Sunday in Ipoh

Anak Bangsa Malaysia Mohd Noor had family and friends over at his house for fellowship and food for Saffron Sunday.
Mohd Noor’s youngest daughter, Afifah, aged 12 ( extreme left in the photo above. Her Dad is in the pink t-shirt ), e-mailed me and said :

I sort of did a solo Saffron Sunday in Ipoh. Lighted 2 candles, one for me and one for my dog! Then my house help asked me what’s behind the lighting of candles.I explained to her and she also shared with me of the people’s plight in the country she came from. Too bad no photos taken. But it ended with a good feeling in my heart.
peng,
Thank you for joining us on Saffron Sunday and for sharing with us
