Grocery For Needies Senawang, Negeri Sembilan - April 2015

Our adventure brings us to Senawang this round. The team depart early from Klang to Seremban for a quick breakfast, before heading to Giant Senawang. The target recipient are 50 needy families at Taman Jasmine in Senawang. Due to location problem, the event was held in Balai Raya Senawang Indah.

For this round, 5 volunteers were delegated to purchase 10 sets of groceries to lift the burden of purchasing by me..:P So, guess this would be our future modus operandi. Off course, it would be a problem if they got lost.. :)

With additional funding, we also have lucky draw in the choice of Milo (2kg) and also biscuits in order to make the event more lively! Its great to see everyone hoping to win something and the laughter on their face when they won. TQ sponsors again!

Kids' Movie Day @MBO Cinema - Mar 2015

This is our 3rd annual event for Kids' Movie Day. The only difference this time is that we are bringing 2 homes, and a few children from Grocery for Needy program as well. The two lucky homes, Anbe Sivam and Rumah Saffiyah were more than happy to join us and we are glad they did! As there were no nice movies around, the best available was Cinderella. We also take them Pizza Hut for dinner after the movies. Thank you to sponsors and volunteers for making a difference!

CNY Celebration (1) at Tg Sepat

With CNY2@Jeram completed, the next event is for Tanjung Sepat. This would be a second time we came over. For this activity, we have 80 Chinese families and the menu has been customized for CNY with mushrooms, mandarin oranges, Drinho drinks, ground nuts and nga ku. Additional funds were collected and as usual, things got more and more and end up having a total of ten items, instead of the original five. Special thanks to the sponsors who have contributed to this event and make it a memorable one for the recipients.

We only took 1 hour to give out all the groceries and also the lucky draw! It was a fun day for everyone to see the recipients going back not empty handed. We had 2 old folks whose name didnt made it to the list due to late submission, hence we gave them cash ang pow of RM100 to them.

Special thank you to all sponsors who had contributed for both the events @Tg Sepat and Jeram. Not forgetting the volunteers who have took their weekend to join us to bring some cheers to the 160 families. I also like to thank the people who are working behind the scene to ensure things move smoothly. The recipients thought it would be a normal groceries giving event, but I guess we caught them by surprise with CNY menu and also some excitement with lucky draws and ang pow for the children. Thanks to the sponsors who have contributed for the RM100 and RM50 ang pow lucky draw. Lottery tickets were added in to give them some hope that miracles does happen - just like how we found them in the first place. Yes, sometimes miracles does happen... #HOPE

CNY Celebration (2) at Bukit Rotan, Jeram Kuala Selangor

Our annual Chinese New Year celebration would be providing some cheers to 80 needy families and for 2015, we have 2 events this year due to additional funding. Bukit Rotan was originally planned to be in March, but due to logistics and timing, it was carried forward..so, we are doing a countdown to Tg Sepat!

We had many generous donor this round and project was met in a short time. Thanks to all sponsors who responded, as else, it would be the standard groceries... hence, I am always grateful that 'someone' is watching over all the projects to ensure things are smooth. We provided the basic groceries and additional fund was use to purchase biscuits, drinks and mandarin oranges.


We also have 2 lucky draws - Ang Pow lucky draw (RM100) x 5, and also lottery tickets x 10 and it was fun to see the excitement and reaction of the recipients. It was great to the old folks walking out to collect the lucky draw - as some in their working attire (working in the market).
