Pot Luck @ Rumah Caring Kajang

For this month's activity, we planned for a pot luck lunch at Rumah Caring Kajang. We had been here before and this would be our 3rd visit. We decided to do a pot luck lunch, in conjunction with Mother's & Father's day celebration. We arrived around 11:30am, and while waiting for some of them to return from Sunday service, we prepare the food and to be served.


The chairlady, Ms Wendy mentioned that this is a 'dry season', as most of the time, people will donate during CNY and Ghost festival, where temples will provide the groceries. Hence, this visit comes at a good time when less people donate to homes.

We have a wonderful chef who cook mee hoon, fried rice and vegetables for lunch. Some of the stuff were brought by another team which is much appreciated, being able to add on to the menu. We had jelly, fruits, red bean soup, packet soya bean drinks and KFC. Thanks to all who contributed one way or another to make this a successful lunch!

Ready to attack the food!!!

Heard this aunty say 'Thank you'  a few times, and I can imagine how happy she is having this pot luck..

Meet up with the team in Tesco Cheras as usual, and proceed with the purchase of groceries. We have earlier ask for the list of items to buy and prepare the list and split it into 3 trolleys. So, it took only 30minutes to finished the purchase. I can say that our timing has improved a lot since then! :)

When we reach there, they were expecting us. The caretaker inform us on the house. The house currently caters from for those from 1 year old to early 20's from multiple races. Most of them are from broken family or single mom.

The house opposite of the home

Most of the teenagers are Orang Asli from Pahang, and we were told that they are here because of the condition in living in the jungle. Under the home, they are provided with education and better living environment. there are also indian, chinese and malay as well. The house we visited was for girls only, while the other one adjacent right at the back is for the boys.

Lunch time! Cooks cooking....

This center has around 90 babies, under aged kids and adults. Some of the kids are bit aggressive and not shy to greet us, and some are adults are friendly.

 For this trip, we have new guest who joined us, Ms Sanddie and her 2 kids. We were late they waiting for us with 3 shopping carts (more Gung-ho than us!). After distributing the shopping list, we took almost 1 hour to complete the purchase.
 




 

 We arrived around 230pm and unloaded the groceries. The kids looks happy to see us and some of them came to shake hand with us with a cheerful face. Overall, the center is well maintained and managed. This house has 3 centers, one of it is a learning center with a computer lab and library in it.

As we entered the hall and saw about 10 babies whom are handicapped. We felt so sad looking at them, but to know they are being well taken care of by the home, it provide some consolation. The caretakers need to pay a lot of attention when doing physiotherapy to the babies.

House of Joy

As usual, we meet up at the nearest Tesco, and proceed with buying the required groceries. We have 14 people accepted our invitation, but only end up with 6 people attending. Hopefully if you are not attending, kindly change your status as we were waiting 30min for the invisible 8 :P. Anyway, we purchased our groceries as normal and proceed to the home. However, due to wrong information, we end up in the learning center of the home. Traveling took about 1hour with 3 cars (cursing) behind me...:( So, make sure do a site visit before we proceed. The home of the address is 23, Jln Tujuh, Tmn Tenaga. Location of the place is bit hard to find, so my advice, search the place before going.

When we reach there, the kids were watching TV and some of them were expecting us. They helped us to unload the groceries. As Ms Lesley was not there, the pastor greeted us and we explained to him about our trip to the home.

Almost missed the road sign!

We also met up with the team from Raleigh KL, which came about 2pm (whom also got lost!). They brought a lot of toys and play games with the kids. We didnt stay long enough to participate due to short of time.  The photos from their event are posted here.
