Yes, Shan again.

Some of the food stuff...


Since the Shan Children's Home is still relatively new and in need of more help, we decided to donate more. Their request for milk and milo for the children is quite reasonable as oppose to some children centers/homes that requested for coffee and mineral water. We don't understand why the small children need coffee. And why mineral water, when it's more cost effective to boil the tap water for drinking. So we brought some milo, milk, sugar, bake beans and sardines to the home today. The children are serve vegetarian food on every Tuesday and Friday. The Home is also looking for sponsors to sponsor some meals to lighten their meal budgets. So anyone who would like to contribute to any birthday party or celebration of any kind, do kindly contact the home.

Creating Awareness


I visited the Shan Children Home again today, this time with Selina. We brought along with us 9kg of bee hoon, 1.5kgs of biscuits and 4bottle of jams. It's requesting for some additional food stuff like milo, milk, sugar and sardines. Besides, it's looking for sponsors who are willing to help the home settle its monthly utility bills.
The administrator, Mr Chandran, again requested us to inform our friends of this children home. As it's relatively new and is situated in quite a secluded area, not many people know about this charity. So, if you know of anyone looking forward to do some donation, please inform him/her of this Shan Children's Home, which as of today, has 22 children,age between 7 and 15 years, whom mostly came from single parent (mother) families.
These children, some came from Kedah and even from KL, have been abandoned by their fathers and the mothers are having difficulties in their upbringing due to poverty. So this home provides them with shelter, food and education.
