Hi Winner, glad to see you here.

Yes, in Malaysia we have some program like World Vision and as well Unicef by donating certain amount per month to adopt a child. Anyhow, I will always prefer you to go straight to the orphanage to donate straight to them where you can have an assurance your money will be able to spend wisely for the children. Of course you'll be able to get to see the children' progress from time to time which will be much more transparent.

Are you now interested to join in for any charity program?

Winner,

Don't mention that. I just do my part for whatever I can as a friend. It's good to see you feeling better now. Whatever others think, that isn't important. You can let the whole world to talk bad about you but never to allow yourself to say anything bad about you.

Anyway, back to the topic. Yes, I am doing charity work around the whole Malaysia. I am not attached to any of the organization but I'm trying to build my own team to get the charity work done for the children, old folks and whoever need the hands. You may check out the link here, http://www.sonrisacf.blogspot.com where I'm trying my best to accommodate some time to update it for charity event.

At this moment, I'm designing a few books by myself for a few orphanage under my care, so I'm looking around to see if anyone is able to help me to photostat those books for the children as it is quite costly for me to bare alone. (eg: per book around 100+- pages, there are more than hundreds of children....  )

Winner, you may add me over in MSN or FB to chat more about it. I'm not too sure if you are back to NZ now or still in Malaysia, perhaps we may meet up for a discussion on that.

Thank you!

1. The objective of that education project is hoping to help out the children in orphanage able to learn according to their pace and most important, clear off their difficulties in learning. I am an educationist, with my knowledge in children psychology and education, many of the children from orphanages are facing difficulties in learning. Some of the reasons for that will be lack of care, attention, low self-esteem and as well without a proper guide in their education. Many of the homes are lacking of manpower, where the care takers are not proper trained in education, as well we can't expect a care taker to look after aat least 30 children' home work in such a short period.

2.The books will be able to let the children to learn according to their developmental progress and it's a progressive program. I will assess each child and plan a different program for each of them. There are children who are weak in Math, but why? I'll need to diagnose the child's preference style in learning, then according to the school standard, plan a proper foundation base for the child first and slowly from there we push the child up to the school standard. The content of the book will be more or less the same as books outside, the difference is the program I train the volunteers to run. It has to go together with the book, then only we will be able to see the effect. A normal question like 1 + 5, can be learned in vary ways for children. Some prefer hands on, some prefer listening and some prefer practices. So, from there we accommodate their needs, interested and preference into one for them to learn with no fear, no headache but only FUN!


3. Budget, sorry to say I have never plan out any budget of it. As I am currently spending around 50% of my business profit and another 30% from my salary for it. I can say, yes, it is quite costly. Imagine photostat per piece is 3 cents that I am able to get, a book with 100 pages will be around RM3, but that's only a book for a child. To ensure all children get at least 1 book, I have to spend around RM150, without any other materials but only 1 book for 1 child. I am now still focusing in writing and planning out the books and programs for children as I've got two sets of English education books out on last Friday on the Charity party but I hope to come out as soon as possible so I can cover all the other subjects for them.

4. Sorry, no. It's not a registered organization yet even though I wish to register it but I am lacking of committed members for the registration. I understand the concern from people regarding registration of an organization but for me, I will just do whatever I can for now for the children.

I hope you have a clearer picture now about it

Yes, I work with only registered orphanage.

Budget is depending on how big is the home. A small home with 30 children will cost about RM500- RM600
If it's a big home with around 100 children, that will be way much more higher.

I doubt so, if you've already donated to a registered organization, the funds will go there. Furthermore, I don't ask for monetary donation. I don't mind to borrow you the sample book and you photostat for the children, which will be lesser work for me too!!!

No one call me as a volunteer, the person in charge of those orphanges have a good relationship with me where they put me as their PR because I've been promoting the homes for them, and as well get them donation. So, I don't know where to put myself but just someone to help out around. As for the volunteers, I'm their leader where I think, it's quite wrong because we all work together hand in hand for the children. Best, I'm just no one.

Yes, I do have my family to care for, but  no BF, I'm single and available! (introduce some guys? lolx!!!! ) Well, family side, as long as I know how to balance up my time to reserve some precious time for my family, my parents are all fine with whatever I do.

Those pictures are in my external hdd, how do you want me to pass to you? It's a lot!

You're real fast
I'm running publisher here while drafting for the new book, so my reply is.... slow a bit
