That’s because on Sunday, 4/ 3/ 2012 – Project MADE accompanied  her Sister NGO:  Inner Wheel Club of Petaling Jaya came to SJKC Ijok  delivering a huge Grocery Bags plus Angpows to 7 families of the School under The Post CNY Cheer Prog 2012. These families were short listed by the School. True enough – these families are really in need….

The Grocery Bags + Angpows came as a pleasant surprise to these poor & underprivileged families and is welcome respite for ALL of them. Check out the photos capturing these happy moments…..

Above: This lady's husband passed away on Sat, 3/4/2012 after a long illness. The funeral was held at 10 am on Sun, 4/3/2012 - she is not working and has 7 young children. My heart bleeds when i think of the long & hard journey she has infront of her. I am determined to look for ways to assist this family until they are more stable.

Above: The grateful & happy faces of the recipients...The contributions will come in handy to relieve each households.
