Report on Jonker Walk Jumble Sale

Saturday. Our first night and we took some time to set up the table, put up the banner and started selling. Sales wasn't so good as the space was cramped and we made a mistake of setting the table sideways. Halfway through the night we had a pleasant visit by a Rotarian from Seattle who was visiting Melaka. It was a tiring night as some of us came straight from work and to spend an additional 6 hours in Jonker Walk was tough job.





Sunday. The second night was more fruitful. Having had a good rest, we were more prepared mentally and physically. We were thankful that 2 other vendors decided to give us their space. We were able to to set 2 areas for sales and the wider area meant more things are displayed and sales picked up.

We finally closed "shop" at midnight and went for a well deserved supper.

Our 2 days effort: RM1,224.00

A big thank you to the friends who donated the things for sale and a pat on the back to all our members for a job well done.

Charity Jumble Sale

This this the technical drawing of the house to be built.

Rtn. Kenneh, the project OC told us that our estimation of RM15,000 may not be enough as prices of metal will shoot up 300% soon.

We have commited ourselves to bring a better quality living to this family and we need all the help we can get.

A Charity Jumble Sale will be held in Jonker Walk on 29th (Saturday) and 30th April (Sunday).
Many kind friends have donated stuffs like shoes, clothes, table lamps, and other items and they will all be sold at very special prices on these 2 days. Please come and support us by buying and contributing to the "Build A Home For The Poor" fund.

Our First Visit

This is our first trip to visit the family and see the situation for ourselves.

It was shocking to see how dilapidated the place was. Large plastics was placed on top of the roof to reduce the rain water from seeping in.
Even basic necessities like water and electrical supply is non existant.





This photo at the back of the hut shows the makeshift bathroom. Water is obtained the natural way from the hill.










(From left) Pastor Joseph who brought the plight of this family to Rtn. Kenneth. Beside him is Misdah bt. Rayam (58 years old), her daughter, Robiah bt. Geyeng (30 years old) and our members, PP Rtn. Patricia, Rtn. Michelle and PP Rtn. Florence. Not seen in this photo is Robiah's 7 year old daughter, Aszuwan. This bamboo hut is currently occupied by them.





This project will be a challenge in terms of logistics. It is located about 50 km from Melaka town and the last 10 km is only assesible by 4x4 vehicle. A lot of the cost will be the transportation of building materials to the site. Why are we doing this? It is our love for humanity and the satisfaction of seeing this family getting a better living condition. We hope to be the channel for other Rotary Clubs and Corporate bodies to help this family. Please support this project by donating money towards the "Build A Home For the Poor Project". All cheques to be made payable to THE ROTARY CLUB OF KOTA LAKSAMANA MALACCA.

Please feel free to contact any of the club members if you wish to join us.
Contact persons are Project Chairman Rtn. Kenneth (016-6851001), President Ramani (012-2595389) and PP Rtn. Ben (019-6554848)
