Groceries for the Needies at Kg Batu Laut, Tanjung Sepat - April 2014

What a day! Had a fulfilling day with Tanjong Sepat folks and also a big team of volunteers. After weeks of planning and planning, we finally delivered what we need to do. Many thanks to volunteers from KL who joined us the first time..who automatically appointed to take charge of the Rice Dept, Grocery Bag Dept and Egg Dept! Thanks to Klang team who had also come in full force.

We had a convoy of 14 cars meeting up in Morib Beach and managed to arrive at our destination without any issue...even though lead car drove 'a bit' to fast (was within speed limit...). Upon meeting up at Morib Beach, I gave everyone a super duper quick briefing before we proceed to destination. Meanwhile, at the hall, the part of the groceries were being unloaded.

Upon arrival of the destination, everyone help in unloading the groceries from the car to the hall. Due to the hall arrangement, we had some minor hiccups initially but soon things start to take its natural course and it was breeze after that.I am truly grateful today for the help given to the group as tonight, 80 families will not need to worry about food for the month.

Drawing attention with the amount of rice we buy everytime! Maybe we should wear a T-shirt which says - "The End of the World is coming, Be Prepared?" ha ha.. Hmm.. or "Grandpa has a lot of wives..."

Egg sorting machine...

Just Eggs! ;)

Helping our recipients

Helping to deliver the groceries.. time to have a motorcycle delivery team?

Poultry farm sells in bulk, dont do individual packing like supermarket.. so, self service

Bicycle pun boleh angkat..!! :)

I believed everyone had a good time - volunteers and recipients alike. Thanks to our volunteers Muka & brothers who fetch the grandma and her grandchild to buy school uniform as we were not sure of his size. Luckily we didnt pre-purchased, as the grandson was taller than the usual Form 2 student. Also thanks to Joanne who drove our recipients home and loaded them with additional diapers. Additional diapers were given to the needy families due the condition of the recipients.

My appreciation to Gladys Wong who managed to bring the donors together for a good cause. And not forgetting all the donors who have responded quickly upon the moment the event was created in Facebook. Thank you again! Many thanks to all Dr Azma/Shida who had filled up their car with 80 packs of groceries. it was so full till it reached the roof top. Hence, I will be doing donation drive for Exora or Navara soon....hehehe... Again, many thanks to all sponsors and volunteers who have make this event successful one!

Kid's Movie Day - March 2014

While this is our second Movie Day event, we are hoping to make it a yearly "tradition". And for this year, the sponsorships are great! :) The home that was selected is Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Lagenda. We visited the home a month earlier to passed some groceries, informed the caretaker that we are bringing in the children. If you would like to help the home, the address is No. 28 Lorong Mohd Tahir 6C, Sungai Jati, 41000 Klang, Selangor.

Saying farewell before leaving...

The team would like to express our appreciation to the Invisible Angels for sponsoring the McD meal and ice cream, fellow sponsors and volunteers who have help to make this event happen. Its great to see a lot of like minded people around the children, showing the love and care that the children needs. You can see it from their faces and non-stop chattering and I am sure that they are very happy, for they have not been to a movie for a long time. For something simple like a movie and a McDonald meal for us/our children, it is a luxury for them. Also big thanks to all the anonymous volunteers who have been working tireless behind the scene to get the sponsorship for the children.  Special thanks to volunteers for coming and sacrifice their Sunday for the less fortunate children. Without your continued support, we would never be able to put on events like these, so BIG THANK YOU GUYS and GALS!
