Visit to Persatuan Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Terencat Akal Negeri Selangor (Banting) - Sept 2015

We found this home through Facebook appeal for groceries. However, upon checking, the caretaker Mr Chan inform us that there has been a lot of donations of groceries (dry goods) till November. Hence, its important to check what are the items they need before you proceed to the home. There were request for electrical items and also grass cutter - which was purchased and delivered to the home earlier. As there are enough dry groceries, we decided not to buy groceries but to buy pizza for the tenant. There were also sponsors of chocolates and candies. We also take a copy of their TNB which comes to about RM2000 monthly.

Visit to Persatuan Insan Istimewa Cheras - Aug 2015

We visited Persatuan Insan Istimewa Cheras today, a home that provide shelter to 30 children that are OKU. The home was established in 2009 and has been operational for 6 years. Youngest tenant is 10yo, while oldest is 45yo. We purchased required groceries and head on to the home and spend some time with the tenants. The kids were really happy to see us coming, and based on the photos, you know they need attention and human interaction. Its really means a lot to them when we spend time with them and you can see and feel it from their laughters and smiles.

Rental was recently raised from RM1300 to RM1800, which has prompt the care taker to look for sponsors to get their own premises. Hence, they are looking for sponsors that are willing to help them raise fund or donate a land for the home purposes. The home's electricity bill is about RM500+ monthly, while water bill is about RM200-300. The tenants finish a bag of rice (10kg) a day, while for adult diapers, they only wear at night.

For this project, we spent RM751.90 - RM201.90 (diapers) + RM250 for groceries + RM300 TNB (pending caretaker to WhatsApp the bill). Again, many thanks for the sponsors who have contributed to the fund for the benefits of the many needy homes that in need. With current economy situation, it is expected tougher times ahead. But I believe we will still be able to help many unfortunate ones. For those who are living nearby, hope you can drop by this home and help in any way you can.

Syawal Groceries For the Needies @Sabak Bernam - June 2015

Time flies when you are doing things that you enjoy doing. Again, one Raya has passed. Its just like yesterday when we did the Syawal groceries program at PPR Batu Muda at Jalan Ipoh  during last year's fasting month. Its no different from this year and this year, we go to rural area which is Sabak Bernam, Kuala Selangor.

Our usual modus operandi apply and we meet up at our first checkpoint - at IPD Kuala Selangor. The team were punctual and we managed to depart on time. Journey was smooth but hit a few bumps and it is more stressful for those volunteers carrying the eggs in their vehicles! Anyway, journey took almost one hour from IPD. It was a hot and sunny day and you can imagine how bored the journey would be .... if not for some fun over the walkie-talkie!

Rice awaiting us when we arrived. Pre-paid the rice nowadays to ease our backs!

Thanks to all for the collective efforts which ensure all groceries items were delivered to the intended recipients. From collection, packing, purchasing and delivery, it was done smoothly and efficiently. Many thanks to the team who spent their Sunday and appreciation to our Muslim volunteers who braved the hot sun and long journey to ensure the event is successful. Again, many thanks to all who have spent their Sunday for this event.

Kid's Movie Day @ HELP Community Center, Kepong - May 2015

It has been awhile since we last visited the school. The last visit was in May 2014 in providing exercise books, food and 2 TV. For this visit, Gary had requested what are the items required at the school which was marker pens and refills, and also 4 broken toilet doors. The students has increased to 140 which includes Pakistanis as well. Most of the children has left Malaysia after their application has been approved and we wish them well in the new country ;)

For this visit, we did an in-house movie for the children. Thanks to the generousity of the sponsors, food, drinks and stationaries were also provided to the children. We had fried noodle, vitagen, nuggets, hot dogs, ice-cream and boxes of biscuits which will serve them well during the lunch break. The school needs a lot of biscuits to feed the children, and its also a way to get the children to come to school instead of loitering around the area.
