Spreading our wings far & wide.....

Thursday, 27th January 2011

Hi there...again! Told you I had plenty of "juice" to report on! I am quite a l...a...z...y writer (best not let Eva - my daughter know of this or else I'll never hear the end of it!!). However, once started I am difficult to curtail.

2011 turns out to be very kind to FRIENDS OF KAPAR. When I was abroad on my annual holidays - I was approached by a kind and benevolent gentleman who offered help. He wants to remain anonymous. Never have I met a more humble and gentle person in my life, before.

His generous contribution will be used to feed 2 Homes supported by FRIENDS OF KAPAR for the year 2011. These Homes are - Shanti Home in Kapar and Rumah Siraman Kasih in Rawang.

Shanti Home gives shelter to 15 abandoned and aged folks, whereas Rumah Siraman Kasih gives shelter to 45 poor, underprivileged and orphaned children from the ages of 7 - 12 years old.

As for Kapar - I am pleased to announce that Kapar is now quite comfortable. With regards to the Feeding Program - we were approached by Sri Narayani Foundation. They have undertaken to feed 30 Families in Kapar for the year 2011. The Kapar Feeding Program is now called Friends Of Kapar & Sri Narayani Foundation Joint Feeding Program 2011.

The CNC (Community Nurture Centre) Kapar is now run by an Administrator. The CNC Kapar is fully sponsored by FRIENDS OF KAPAR. Programs run normally with FRIENDS OF KAPAR overseeing its progress.

Because of these benevolence, FRIENDS OF KAPAR are able to extend its web of assistance to other impoverished areas. For the year 2011, we are extending and concentrating more seriously into Kuala Selangor, Tanjung Karang and Batang Berjuntai. Infact, we have started feeding Kuala Selangor & Tanjung Karang, starting late last year but the machinery was not that efficient. It was a learning curve for FRIENDS OF KAPAR. Now we are able to concentrate in making a difference in those areas. Another CNC is in the pipeline. The CNC Kuala Selangor will serve the children and the communities of Kuala Selangor and its surrounding areas.

With regards to Mentakab, Temerloh & Jerantut in Pahang - assistance will be rendered sometime in mid 2011 as they are NOT ready as yet!

Looks like it is going to be another full & busy year for FRIENDS OF KAPAR. Another full & busy year of making a difference in the community anywhere & everywhere......
