Danish stated on his Instagram post that the school supplies and groceries he purchased were to be distributed to 40 poor families at Lemoi, Cameron Highlands.

On the same day, Danish tweeted asking if there were any teachers in rural areas who have students in need of school bags as he has supplies waiting to be distributed.

Ini semua bag sekolah yang Danish mahu agihkan kepada mereka yang sangat memerlukan. Keutamaan diberikan kepada murid-murid sekolah yang berada di kawasan pendalaman dan terpencil? Terima kasih! pic.twitter.com/MCpZ6toyaG

According to Sinar Harian, Danish has always been interested in charity and volunteering since he followed celebrity Daphne Iking on Instagram when she was posting her volunteering activities under an NGO called Need to Feed The Need (NFN) when he was only 8 years old at the time.

Danish even contacted NFN and offered to volunteer, along with his parents. He even formed a volunteer group in hopes of helping paedriatric cancer patients in Malaysia.

Such a big heart at a young age! We wish him all the best. Keep doing what you’re doing, Danish!
