2010 Deepavali Celebration + Food Distribution + Activity Learning Program with Maybankers and Astro!

It has been a superb fruitful weekends to HOPE worldwide Malaysia!

On last Saturday, 20/11/2010, we have had a great time Deepavali Celebration with all of our beneficiaries and needy community in Sentul.

At the same time, since last Saturday is the third Saturday of the month, we have our Food Distribution as well, and its like a double happiness, to make our Deepavali Celebration a memorable ones! As usual, during our Food Distribution, we have our Activity Learning Program with the children going on as well.

Not only the fruitful events, and we have many awesome volunteers as well! Firstly, we have "Maybankers", workers from Maybank to be here with us. This is the very first time, for HOPE worldwide to work together with Maybank, in CSR cause. We have Cindy, leading another 9 more workers along, in helping the Food Distribution.

On the another hand, we have 15 volunteers from Astro! They are there for the children's Activity Learning Program, and as well, helping up the Deepavali Celebration Buffet Lunch at downstairs of our clinic.

It was an awesome working experience with the volunteers from both companies, and what great is, nowadays, more and more corporates are so involving in community work. As they can really see, the needs and the gladness in serving. We seems to be giving a lot as a volunteers, but actually, in return, we actually received a lot of joy and beautiful memories.

The Maybankers!

We have around 60 over children who come and join the Activity Learning Program! We sing songs, play games and guess what, goodies from Astro! A bag with TVIQ - Channel 552 as the printing cover:)

Here's a really good one to learn, as one of the song we're singing during the Activity Learning Program with the children - If You Are Happy! Let's follow the below sequence:

If you are happy, and you know it:

1. Clap Your Hands

2. Stamp your feet

3. Nod Your Head

4. Pull Your Ears

5. Scratch Your Head

DO ALL FIVE!!!

Last one, always the best one!

6. Tickle Your Friends (this is when all the children giggle and screaming all the way)

THANK YOU MAYBANK AND ASTRO FOR BEING THERE WITH US~!

HAPPY DEEPAVALI!!!

2010 "Jom Sihat" Hands Cleanliness Lifebuoy Soap Distribution to Poor and Needy Community

In aid of "Jom Sihat" Hand Cleanliness Campaign, Lifebuoy had sponsored over 30,000 over soaps for HOPE worldwide Malaysia, for us to distribute to the poor and needy community.

Unconsciously, people do not seems to be concern on hands cleanliness. In fact, the germs in our hands can be very harmful to our health. That will bring a lot disease such as hand foot mouth, and diarrhea. This will be even critical towards young children whose immune system is not strong enough to defend the bacterias. For the poor and needy community, they even in a more critical situation. One of the influential factor is their living environment.

Thanks to Lifebuoy for creating this campaign, which is a very good platform, for us to have an eye-wide-open experience, and most importantly, to have a massive outreach program towards the poor and needy community.
