Initially it would be in and around KL. Activities currently range from normal visits to spend time, help around, have meals etc with them. We're also planning on other things like cinema outings, in-town-trips etc based on requests from the selected organizations.

Since we're an IT community and all, we were also thinking along the lines of sponsoring a computer for the organizations, and maybe giving free one day trainings etc.

Basically its still early days, so we can't really say much. Once we've got enough of interest and more input, we'll decide on the next steps.

Yes, anybody may join. It will be an event-by-event basis, you can join in any event if you are free at the particular time. No obligations to be involved in every event. A few members will be selected for to be in committee for each event, the rest just need to turn up.

Out of KL? Well, if everything goes well, we'll want to run this at different places, and since we have members all over, you're welcome to gather a group members and plan an event for your own location.

Yes, we do understand there will be a need for monetary contributions, but at the moment we will be wiring funds from the ads you see on the site to kick-start this project. If everything goes well, we will look into transparent ways where you may be able to donate to the cause - but that is much later.

Guys, do not worry about the monetary part, as mentioned, let us worry about the funds, we just want your participation. We need volunteers who can spare maybe a few hours on a weekend to help out with the events.

Right now, this thread is to get a small group of volunteers ready to decide on which charity home/organization we plan to help first. This committee will also decide on what kind of help we can offer after discussion with the selected home/organization. They will then release details of the event, and anybody who wants to volunteer to join in on the event day may do so.

A new committee will conduct the following event, there can even be committees based on geographical location and such.
