Dear LYN Friends,

I'm compiling a list of unfortunate people/organizations in desperate need for charity (Funds, Food, Medical Supplies, Volunteers, Equipments) in Penang.
If anyone is familiar with anyone that require such help whether it be personal or involving an organization, just provide me the following details and I'll contact you to verify the situation:

- Name / Name of Organization
- What kind of help is required.
- Urgency ( How urgent the situation is )
- Valid Contacts ( If you require to be anonymous, you're welcomed to PM me )

Thanks skysherly, your help is most appreciated.

Of course visiting is a must. I'll send in a team of volunteers to understand the situation, and probably be visiting some homes myself too. I need a list of these unfortunate people, childrens that need education fees.

Also any orphanage,hospice,medical centre that needs help are all welcome. Once again, thanks Sherly. Would it be possible for me to have a short list of them by 14th June? I'll be proposing a fund raising event for a few organization and it is best to include some Homes along..

Thanks skysherly,
these organizations i already have most of these contacts.
It's pretty easy to find them.

If there's any information about private homes in penang that need a fund raising please don't hesitate and drop your contacts or PM me privately. Thanks

Well, at the moment, the fund raising event is stated PENANG, i would love to do chairty for whole M'sia, but at the moment, the newly founded organization is only capable in focusing on Penang first. Hopefully in future, they are able to do a fund raise for people who in whole Malaysia.

Skysherly, you're representing which foundation? KL?

ic. cool.
looking forward to cooperate with you guys..

no problem! stay in contact.

Added on July 20, 2009, 1:18 pmHello people,
I am organising a Charity Drive this coming August.

Venue of this event?
This drive will be set up at public areas, preferably heavy flow of traffic. Currently what i had in mind is Gurney Plaza Penang or New World Park Penang.

What are we doing in this Event?
There will be a small fund raising going on, but the main purpose of this event is we want to get public involve in our event. So most of the events will be engaging the public to do something, showing the others that people do care to contribute somethign to the society.

It's our first time hosting an event, and we have no experience in such. Knowing there are alot of many of you are experience in hosting events, hope you guys can contribute some ideas on what sort of events I can do, to Engage the crowd. I want the crowd to get involve in the charity event, not hosting speech and selling anything to the crowd.

What i had in mind is, get volunteers, and host a Head Shaving event, where we will ask the public to bid, until we have reach a satisfying ammount, say uhmmm a small ammount will do, perhaps 300 to 500 per head shave, the volunteer will have to shave off his head infront of the public.

Others like uhmm Ice Cream Competition would sound great.. Is there any other ways i could engage the public?
