CNY Celebration @ SRJKC Pandamaran B, Port Klang Jan 2020

Its another year again, and this year's Chinese New Year event we share our joy and blessings with 80 needy families from 2 schools in Pandamaran, Port Klang. Discussions were held much earlier, thanks to Team GOC who had been dealing with the school for few years, it makes things much easier. We held our event at SRJKC Pandamaran B, Klang. The teachers from both schools - Pandamaran 'A' and 'B' were much helpful to get the families in. I have to salute the teachers who put so much efforts to ensure the families come. Prior to the starting of the event, I still see them on phone trying to contact the families. Our usual morning breakfast at Tesco imprinted a good lesson learnt this time - count your trolleys. I accidentally left 1 trolley with 12 bags of rice, and end up owing two volunteers a big meal!!! Luckily, the 12 bags were still there! Event started on time, with the queues well organised.

Not forgetting the many volunteers who have contributed in many ways - from finding cookies made by poor familes, getting quotations for mushrooms / Chinese herbs, and the final part - delivery. Nothing gets done without the great team work. Our sponsors too, who donated generously for the event which allow our recipients to have a good celebration. Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall, our sister NGO Love Joy Association had their free market for the families as well. Lots of items were given away although the reception was not so good. TQ volunteers from Melaka, Kajang, Serdang and sponsors from Kedah who made it for the event.

Wishing all a good health, happiness and wealth in the Year of the Rat!
