The outreach was made possible through the generosity of SMOU members, who donated pre-loved apparel and accessories during a donation drive held in April 2026. The items were thoughtfully sorted and packed, together with goodie bags filled with everyday necessities such as biscuits, instant noodles, soap and other essentials, before being delivered to the fishermen on 24 June 2026.

Leading the visit were SMOU Vice President Lim Teng Toon and SMOU Assistant Treasurer Tan Geh Ting, alongside SMOU staff, ILSM and MWC representatives. As the gifts were distributed and tea refreshments served, what stood out most was the genuine interaction between the volunteers and the fishermen. Conversations flowed naturally as stories were exchanged, friendships were formed and appreciation was shared across cultures and backgrounds.
