A Visit to Rumah Hope
Written by Amutha on December 2, 2008 – 7:05 pm
MIB is planning for an afternoon with the kids of Rumah Hope in Petaling Jaya. We hope we could extend some help by donating some provisions, clothes, books and gifts to the kids and spend some valuable time with them. Below are some details about the event:
Date: 13 Dec 2008
Time: 12.00 – 2.00pm
Number of children: 48
Address: No. 45, Jalan 20/2, Paramount Garden,46300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
Website: http://www.rumahhope.org/index.html
In making this event a success, we are pleading to you, our members and readers to contribute what you can to the Home. We are planning to get them:
Provision:
- Sardine 425g – RM 3.59
- Cooking Oil 5kg – RM 12.89
- Milo Refill Pack 2kg – RM 25.45
- Local Rice (5%) 10kg – RM 25.50
- Coarse Sugar 2kg – RM 2.75
- Full Cream Milk 2kg – RM 41.90
Gifts:
- Age 8-12 : Colouring set
- Age 13-15 : Stationary Set
- Age 16-18 : Stationary Set ( a different one to suit their higher secondary needs )
The sets are estimated to be around RM7/child, which roughly come up to RM340.
These are just some ideas that occurred to us while brainstorming about it. I am sure everyone here could come up with their own ideas or some maybe generous enough to part with old books or used clothes which are still in good condition.
Besides, we also would appreciate if you could sacrifice your Saturday afternoon to be with these kids.
You may choose to leave a comment with your details and things you may be able to sponsor, or else e-mail us (amutha [at] mindsblog.com / npuvanan [at] gmail.com / nkavilan [at] yahoo.com) for further details.
Let’s join hands to make this event a success.
