I actually have an idea on bringing 15-20 kids (age 12-15) to National Science Centre. The ticket per person will be RM 15 but I can sponsor for admission fee (only afford to sponsor that much as I'm a student myself, maximum can sponsor up to RM 300). However, I don't know where to find these kids and also arrangement for transportation. Do anyone experience in bringing kids to a trip to somewhere? If yes, please teach me how cause it's my first time.

you donate to orphanage home ask them bring go see lo. or they would have better usage for the RM300 then seeing some stupid things in the science centre

Not really seeing some stupid things. They can actually learn something from there. It will actually benefits them.. I don't want to donate but to bring them to somewhere like national science centre. I would like to get involved with kids/teenager

Just go visit them. Oku homes or Orphanage. Buy some books and read it to them. Later you bring them go
Science center one hilang or kena culik. You know la the crime rates nowadays.

We will have a few people guarding the group... anyway, what u think about the idea? if crime rates were to be low

It's a good idea. Don't give up in frustration. I too run events and some of them include charity events for kids.

So pm me someday and we could chat up some objectives and ideas.

Good luck.

i can help you fin several anak orang asli if you want..

Hey TS, if you jadi do this tour thing, can contact me? I also wanna join.

Ts..there are other things you must consider also such as their transportation as well as their food..so if you're only throwing rm300 for them i dont think thats enuff

thx.. .actually this idea just came into my mind.. so i thought of posting it here and see whether got people can help me with it

can can

Food I can sponsor as well. Only the transportation will be a problem

Shelter Home http://www.shelterhome.org/

Agathians Shelter http://www.agathians.org/

Good idea, it will make the kids happy and the adults can't songlap it

if 20 kids, you probably need a bus, what seem to be the problem?

no wei i can't be the one to fund your fetish.

hi, you can actually rent a bus. just find a school bus, ask them whether they available on that day and time. then gather the kids at a location, bring them to that place. after that bus will bring them to a location for lunch, and send them back to the pick up point.

Yes the shelter might already have transport, ask them

Hey thx for the link .. Yes it will probably make the kids happy and also let them to learn new things

The problem is I don't know where to find transportation... now that I got the link.. i will try ask them

thx for the suggestion!

Ok I will ask them

Did you know on how to make a paperwork? I can help you abit with that. I can't help much since my location is quite far...

Count me is if you're serious bout this....

No, I don't know on how to make a paperwork. I would appreaciate it if you help me with it.

You just go there and talk to them. I'm sure they'll assist u. Sometimes, they ask you to prepare a paperwork.

You can also use the paperwork to gather sponsors from various company, and make the event bigger...

Now only plan to do small event cause first time.. Don't want do big event first.

ok. just tell me if u need my support...

Can you teach me how to do the paperwork ??

I'll try my best. But I think you can refer any club at ur uni. Maybe they can teach u abit oh now to do it....

Study which uni?

Study at SEGi Subang Jaya. I sent an email to them just now and I just got their replied. So fast they reply me.

Me email to them:

The ticket per person will be RM 15 but I can sponsor for admission fee (only afford to sponsor that much as I'm a student myself, maximum can sponsor up to RM 300). I might able to sponsor breakfast (example; sandwiches and water) to them as well. I would love to know if shelterhome interested in it. It just an idea for now.

Regards,
Edwin

Their reply to me:

Dear Edwin,

Thank you so much for your kindness in sponsoring the kids for a day out. Certainly I'm sure the children will love going to the National Science Centre. If you can provide me with the details below we will arrange on our side the rest.

Event type : Visit to National Science Centre
Number : 20 children
Date and Time : When are you planning to do this? Weekends will be better, if week days then the school holidays is prefered.
Contact person : Who shall we liaise with if not your goodself
Contact number : May we have your mobile number?

Do not worry about the meal, we can prepare that on our side and have the chidren bring it with them if the outing takes more than 4 hours. If we keep it within that time and not during meal periods they will manage.

On behalf of Shelter Home for Children, do accept my personal gratitude for all that you are giving to our children.

Feel free to contact me if you require further information or clarification.

Its a good sign then. I think you should better go there and talk to them personally. And do give up updates huh....

Okok... I will keep updating here

Gah I wish I can do the same thing. I'm a student too, recently just joined a very new foundation as volunteer. It's more fun if I can use my own money, but its ok lah. When I'm working later maybe. Hi five! Doing charity is fun yo

Yup it's fun hahah... where r u from ?

Maybe you can call the Science Center and see if they have a program for something like this. I'm sure they'll be able to accommodate some stuff if it's for charity/orphanage.

Kuching

Ya I will send them an email soon

Oo.. that's far from here..

Morning everybody!

Hey man, awesome noble work there. Count me in as well for both physical and monetary help.

Very good of u TS! Keep up the good work

if anything or accident during the travel time. wats ur contingency plan for that? Government will not liable u know.

how many kids are going?


i can prepare some snacks or chocolates

Thx bro XD ok I will count u in

Thx =)

What kind of accident?

Y dont u starts with sponsoring ur own nephews or nieces or lil bro & sis..?

See if can manage all of them first..not easy bro..

Kids nowdays ar

let says for the transportation, since u r the sponsor but now the government, so, how u make sure u not in liable if any accident do happens?

Planning for 20 kids

You may wanna check if they have been already been to places you wanna bring them or less renown charity homes.

During my company's corporate social responsibility program , it was quite an eye opener when a kid I spy doesn't seem excited told me this year its the <insert number here> to Aquaria KLCC/Zoo Negara/Midvalley/Makan makan by different companies.

For sake of sponsorship, kids have to collaborate with home shelter owners to remain excited despite visiting popular/touristy places many times over the years as they grow up.

Since then the company's direction has change to deducting certain hours of salary for their homes/essentials bulk purchasing /mentoring on various subjects/skills that school don't really teach/sharing experiences together (childhood/adulthood)

Sorry bro i don hv any lil sis or bro as im the youngest in the family... And i only hv my family..no contact with other relative like niece nephew cousin etc

I can't make sure it will not be liable when smtg happened...i only tot of hving fun wif them

how bout feeding the homeless? like soupkitchen... coz children underaged dunno but it might be harder to find no?

better make sure. coz government will find ways not to liable. Those who sponsor sponsor end up getting trouble.

pm me if u needhelp!

Thx for reminding..forgot to check wif them..will chk wif them ltr

But i prefer to bring them out..

Omg? Really?? So if for exp a kid injure i hv to pay for medical fee?

Ok sure no problem :-)

normally will not, but parent will demand for compensation either from gomen or sponsor. make sure u have a insurance to cover included 3rd party too. Thats why sponsor in charity very ma fan.

Nothing happen, people treat u like God, anything bad happen, kecoh sampai micheal cheong

Pls contact me if you want to make this happen. Will help. Thanks.

if so i guess u can try orphanages...but pretty sure gonna need paperwork...be prepared to handle the kids as well..i had done programs with kids a few times and they can be quite "energetic".. but its all good...good luck to you...keep us posted on your progress

Ooo okok thx for the information. Really never thought of all these before...

Ok will contact you when I need more people

I actually work in a kid's event at Sri hartamas before.. Enjoy seeing those kids haha.. Thx and I will keep update here

hey ts how about to add another 10 kids?

give me your account number i will bank in to you another fees.

Hello thx for the kindness butI haven't decide which date yet so please don bank in to me yet

okay. later if already confirm pm me

Ok sure

easy peasy then...

Just got reply from them. They say they will settle meals and transportation for the kids... So basically I have to sponsor admission fee only

New reply from ShelterHome. They say they had brought the younger children to National Science Centre few months back. Age of the children not mentioned by them

Before you buy those tickets, ask management see got special price first.

Yea I will hehe

TS, Count me in too.. Zoo negara or the Aquaria could also be good options. I can sponsor financially and would volunteer come and keep the kids in check. In case, you got sued, well, I got you covered too

No problem. I have no exp whatsoever in doing this but pm me should you need whatever assistance

Ok sure no problem .. btw, how you gonna cover me if i got sued ? haha

Haha.. I'm gonna make sure you don't... Simple..
So, before you put your name on any dotted line on paperwork, you forward to me to check. If it is ok, you sign. If it's not safe to sign, you nego the terms then only you sign, deal?

Updated first post with my conversation with staff of shelter home via e-mail

Hey, I didn't get the email neh.. can email me? I just pm-ed you my email.

Sir, pm me the details as well. I would love to provide a small amount to assist you with your idea. Nothing big. Just something to help.

What you need to know bro ?

better you bring the science to them. cheaper, they actually learn, plus the cash they get can actually buy FOOD

what you mean by bringing science to them?

get some guys together, get some models from shops to sponsor or lend, have a small science show in their house or ophanage or something. funner. tbh, pusat sains negara is a load of bullshit.

TS I still think trips out are better.. Kids love going out.. and kids at orphanage don't get to go out on weekends like normal kids. So, it's a rare treat.. I think bringing anything to them is good but taking them out to see the world would be better.

Pusat Sains Negara, however, good or not up to par, is still a place OUTSIDE their normal place and it would be an adventure for them to go out but it's also good for you to scout the place out la..

thanks for the suggestion but I feel it's better to bring them out. As what meltC said, kids love going out...I want the kids to see/explore the outside world more... Getting some models from shops etc might be a bit troublesome though...

Added on July 23, 2012, 9:38 pmmeltC - yes.. i have the same thoughts as you

This post has been edited by TheJobSeeker: Jul 23 2012, 09:38 PM

TS, please PM me if you need some monetary help, i promise to contribute some.

Dont think i can volunteer for usually i travel during weekends.

Okay! Thank you for your kindess =D

if this able to happen...PM me your bank account, i will sponsor some money. It's not alot but i hope you will have extra fund for the kids.

Thank you for willing to sponsor bro but it's still under planning

you should team up with a group for example people in charge of the orphanage in order to bring the children out. you alone can't handle that much ~~ something bad might happen, like missing children or injuries .. so more people is needed in order to keep them safe~~

you're doing something real good as a student .. bravo for your kindness

hello .. I do have a few more friends that will volunteer to help.. and the caretakers from ShelterHome will bring the children all the way to National Science Centre to meet us. So I'm not the only 1 to handle everything.. haha..

waiting to pin...

hey ts already set a date?

Nope haven't but planned to get it done somewhere in August
