Good Samaritan Home Klang - KFC Party & CNY Donation Drive

throwing the children a kfc party on 29/1/11 (Sat)

Friends has urged me to blog about my charity project (something I was doing for the past 2 weeks in my Facebook). It seems nowadays I do a lot of personal updating in Facebook rather than blog because I don't want to have too much spams on my blog. Anyway yes it all happened in Facebook. I saw from a friend's facebook page photos of the conditions at The Good Samaritan Home, an orphanage home in Klang. They have a total of 36 children (26 of them under 12 years old). Something sparked my heart and I decided to update my Facebook status asking for RM20 donation per pax to fund this KFC Party idea. Soon my friends, readers and strangers starting asking for my bank account so they could help out. I was touched (shocked) by their move to help me!. They're donating money to someone they have not met and could possible be a scam-woman right?

It would cost at least RM500 (36 children+2 caretakers) to have the KFC Chicky Party for the children. I called up KFC Events and made a booking for 29/1/11 12-2pm at KFC Taman Sentosa Klang. Confirmed the booking and a deposit of RM100 needed to be made, my friend Kenby who lives in Klang helped me to pay for the deposit. She's also in my team assisting me with misc duties to help coordinate the whole project. No a KFC Chicky Party is not more expensive than a normal order by menu purchase. It's the same! With a minimum of 10 children and RM250 purchase, anyone can book the KFC branch they like and have a party complete with balloons, decorations, children games, a birthday cake (if you're a Chicky Member), party invitation gift packs and a APPEARANCE BY CHICKY MASCOT! which is why I wanted to have a KFC Chicky Party instead of buying KFC n bringing it straight to the home. A KFC Chicky Party would be SO MUCH FUN especially when the kids see Chicky Mascot. I can imagine now the young ones go "CHICKEN CHICKEN!!!".

Soon it wasn't just eating Kentucky Fried Chicken because a face painter friend Stacey Lee decided to volunteer her services to make the day colorful and fun by face painting for the children! She could not paint 36 children in one hour, so more people volunteered to help her out. This is becoming really fun I said in my heart! What started out as a RM20 fund raiser for a party soon become a donation drive where people started donating Chinese New Year clothes, soaps, cupcakes, T-Shirts, stationary packs and ang-pows! Malaya Optical has also come to support this fund raiser by offering to sponsor the children wearing frames+glasses a RM600 worth each to wear! Blogshops, boutiques and clothing company started helping out too. Below is the list of people I wish to thank for contributing their services and goods in kind:

• Fiona Biggs, of Gorgeous Magazine covering the story!
• Stacey Lee, face painter offering to face paint 36 children
• Ryan Ho, Malaya Optical for sponsoring frame+glasses for the children
• Cute Cute Baby Facebook Shop for sponsoring CNY Clothes for girls and boys under the age of 8 years old
• Maison De La Mode for sponsoring the teenage girls CNY Clothes!
• Li' Lamb for tailor made dresses for children under 8 years old

Ops I gotta rush out now to collect more things and pack the donated items! such a rush. It's happening tomorrow! I'm so disorganized T_T someone please save me!!! This might be the first big thing I'm doing for this home and I will be blogging about it. I hope that after this, many more will know that this home exists and will come forth to help them out if possible. Maybe someone who would like to adopt a child come also come to this home and have a look see? I also wish that if there's any newspaper/magazine who would like to cover the story of this orphanage, please contact me. There's homes everywhere in Malaysia not just the Klang Valley and if we could help raise awareness on these homes, it would make the children happy.

THANK YOU ALL FOR 

YOUR HELP & SUPPORT! 

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

XOXO,

Miu
