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.

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.
