SJKC Yuk Chai Charity Sale 育才华小义买会

We participated in the Chinese school charity sale project on Sunday 18 July 2010. Named “The PJ Carnival”, with the objective of raising school building fund, it was a very successful event with more than 100 volunteer stalls owners participated by selling food, games, and many other stuff. Lions Club of Damansara participated by selling e-books and old story books. We were assisted by leos from Omega Leo Club of Damansara.

In summary what we had done for the Chinese school building fund was:
1. Sale of e-books & story books : paid by coupons (estimated to be ~RM500 to 700)
2. Cash donation: RM1,000

International Relationship - Built a centre for Jakarta down syndrome children （与印尼狮子会联办福利活动）

This was a joint project with our sister club – Lions club of Jakarta Mutiara Prima, Indonesia, to build a three storey school building named “Yayasan Kasih Bunda” for ninety disabled students who used to sit on the floor to study. The cost of building was >USD50,000. We had made four visits to Jakarta for the purpose of site visits/fund raising event/others. This project was reported in a few Indonesian local newspapers and other media.

Mobile Sight First （免费提供視力檢查、眼鏡给贫穷学生）

This is another project which helps selected students from the lower income group. There are many students who do not even realize they are shortsighted until we screen their eye-sight. Their parents cannot afford to buy glasses for them and these students are disadvantaged in their study. We provide free eye-screening and free spectacles for the selected students.

Education Fund Project - Annual Scholarship for Students (常年学生助学金)

The objective is to assist students from lower income group by providing some financial assistance during their preparation for school re-opening. Applicants must be a primary school student and those selected must achieve good academic study and also must have good record of discipline and behavior. We had selected two schools so far, i.e. 1. SJK Kheow Bin, Batu Caves, KL and 2. SJK Mun Yee, KL whereby we provide school bags & uniform worth RM150.00 per student and cash scholarship of RM200.00 per student.
