FRIM Kepong with AXA

2008-06-24T17:14:00.003+08:00

Our visit to FRIM Kepong last weekend with AXA General and Life Insurance group. It was our first time to FRIM and the children were excited to learn about nature and animals.

The weather was bright and sunny, perfect for a day in the forest reserve. We had jungle trekking, fish feeding, games and makan makan together.

We also fed leeches (unintentionally, haha), and it was a new experience for some. Rub salt on them and they pop right off. A useful tidbit of information the next time someone goes jungle trekking.

Here are some of the highlights from the trip. Enjoy!

2007-12-26T16:15:00.000+08:00

Hi all, here are some photos taken from GSH trip to Casa Rachado in PD, sponsored by MAA.

It was a first time for Angel, Brian, Lianne, and Chris.

So what did you like about the trip, kids?

Racheal Kee: Swimming is fun.
Mary: The room is nice.
Racheal Ng: Staying in PD is very nice.
Joanna: I loved the swimming.
Eunice: I enjoyed learning to set up the tent.
Peggy: I enjoyed with all my friends.
Jonathan: I liked everything!
William: I got to play around the whole trip!!
Joel: I didnt need to do homework!!!!!!!!

No comments from Angel, Brian, Lianne, and Chris till they learn how to talk, but im sure they enjoyed themselves as well.

A big thank you to MAA.

Joseph Farewell

2007-03-26T12:15:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday 24 March, the committee and volunteer staff organize a farewell dinner for Joseph Pang. He’s been a full time worker at G.S.H for about 6 years and this month will be his last month with the home as he moves on to pursues his business dreams.

Joseph has been like a father figure to many of the children at the orphanage home. Being a full-time at the home is very different from most of us who hold a commercial job outside. His job is not confine from 9 to 5 only but require to be on-call even in the evening and weekends when needed. He’s also currently actively involve with “Pure Love” society, an organization involve with fund raising in various charity body. We hereby wish him all the best in his future endeavor.

GOOD BOOKS for ALL!

Ahh an update after a dry spell. A lot more to come this month so tune in ya!
A team from Doulos invited our home over for a tour on the oldest floating book store last Saturday.

We drove all the way to West Port in 2 cars and a van with a bunch of eager kids.
When we got on board, we were spilt into 3 groups and were taken around to see the parts of the ship. While waiting inside, I was amazed to see people of different nationalities walking around the inner lobby in their respective traditional clothes.

Spainards, French, Italians, Japanese, it was like the whole world crammed into this ship. Watching World Cup must have been really exciting. The people on board were friendly, courteous, and comfortable to be around with.

The tour was really facinating, we got to see the laundry room, mess hall, clinic, fire emergency room, kitchen, engine room, and also part of the living quarters of the crew. All around you could see tiny little flags of different nationalities, pasted on walls, doors, and corridoors.

We all had a chance to see the lives and different roles each crew member played in this big, floating family. Enjoy the photos below :)

Bon voyage! Hope to see you again Doulos.

Mamak Night!

2006-03-29T18:26:00.000+08:00

Hi all, last sunday (26 Mar) we all went out for mamak! For those not native to Malaysia, mamak is a term for shops that sell food (typically spicy Indian food) from evening right up to the wee hours of morning.

Normally dinner time is spent at home eating home cooked food, but that night we had a treat at the mamak across the road from our house.

Thanks to a generous member of the public, the children had a night out at the mamak eating roti canai, tosai, and delicious chicken curry. Enjoy the pics :)

Not wanting to feel left out without a date, we invited all the older boys from the home to a Valentine BBQ together ! Must say the best cook award for the night should goes to Joseph Pang as he was doing most of the cooking. Not forgetting, Pastor Albert also “lovingly” bbq his specialty prawn for Auntie YM. Overall it was a good fun time together and who say Valentine is only for lover ? ...submitted by Kean Mun

SOME LEFT OUT SCENES

Here are some extra scenes during the dinner. I would have taken more pictures but my battery ran out (and also distracted by the food).

The event kicked off at 7.45pm in
Hokkien Association Klang. Over 100
tables had to be prepared for guests.

The food came fast and furious while the
guests were treated to a variety of performances. No one left
with an empty stomach that night.

CNY is upon us once again. Though it is predicted to be a "Hot Dog" year, the heat did not deter Malaysia's caring public from visiting our home and sharing the joy of Chinese New Year with our kids.

The last Saturday and Sunday (21 and 22 Jan 2006) was a real scorcher, but it was great to see visitors taking the time to visit and spend time with us. A big 'thank you' to the great guys and gals, uncles and aunties, grandpas and grandmas, and everybody who made it special for us yeah!

Although i did not manage to get all the visiting group photos, here are some shots of the Starbucks team in action on Saturday and Sunday! Checkout Captain Starbucks y'all!

Till then, have an awesome week. Alan signing off!

Short Profile of the Home (by Aaron Tham)

Imagine your father comes home drunk every night. He takes it out on your mother. He is not interested in you or the family. All he looks forward to is his next fix. As a 3 year old, you are oblivious to what is going on, but it has been a whole day since you last had something to eat or drink. You are hungry and thirsty. You look around for your mother but she is nowhere to be found. What you don’t know is that after the last beating, your mother decided to walk out. She cannot take your father’s beatings any longer and she fears for her life.

Founded in January 1999 by Albert Ong and YM, a former pastor and his wife, Good Samaritan Home (GSH) cares for children such as these—who come from families where parents have abandoned them, or where a parent is unable to cope with divorce, or where the child has lost one or both parents. GSH today is home to 28 children, whose age range from 3—17 years old. The home seeks not only to provide for their physical and material needs, but also to minister to their emotional and psychological needs especially in the light of their broken family backgrounds.
