We continued our journey to Janda Baik, at the foothill of Genting Highlands. Here, SI Bangsar shared the various programmes they are doing at this location.
a) Tree planting programme to save the world and to raise fund (each tree could be planted at the donation of RM 500)
b) Handicapped welfare centre – SI Bangsar is raising funds to buy vans to transport the handicapped to the centre. At the same time, the centre would like to complete the construction of their new building which is facing a fund shortage.
c) Tasak (Pre-school) – we donated books, toys, clothings & tidbits to the children. We also bought 12 sets of toiletries and stationeries (costing SI Garden City $126.78). At the centre, we also presented a cheque of RM 600 (contributed by Joyce, Debbie and Lengleng), in the name of SI Garden City to SI Bangsar to assist them to fund their ongoing project work at the handicapped welfare centre as well as the Tasak.
d) Goat-rearing project – we learnt that SI Bangsar successfully garnered the sponsorship of big corporation such as Deutsche Bank to purchase goats for the Orang Asli. We visited one such family and found that they managed to raise 27 off-springs from 3 goats within a span of 2 years.
e) Resource centre at the Shelter – we bought some books which would help to set up the Resource centre for the older kids in the village. The Shelter houses orphanages as well as children whose families are simply too poor to afford their existence. SI Bangsar has raised funds to engage tutors to come to the centre on a weekly basis.
All of us learnt a great deal in this journey. We thank our sisters at Kota Tinggi and Bangsar for their kind hospitality. We look forward to doing more joint projects together in future.
