The 133 jars of cookies they produced with sponsored ingredients were sold out within half a day. Sceliqa (second from right) said chokingly, “My sister, Somayeh (first right) and I have suffered a lot in our lives. I can deeply feel the pain of the quake victims, and I am glad that the proceeds from the charity sale will help them. I hope I can do more for them.” [Photo by Ong See Lim] Right: A moment to remember. Attendees posing for a photo in front of the giant red envelope. [Photo Lai Jih Chuan]
