Saw Sifu Ani was talking on the phone and we decided to walk around ourselves. Caught up with some kids doing homework at another corner of the Home. They were actually busy jotting the Metta Chant on a piece of paper. This was one of their routines as explained by Sifu Ani who joined us later after finishing her teleconversation.
The 31 children at Padmasambhava, who are mainly from single mothers take turns to join her to attend home visiting most of the times and to see for themselves that they are the luckier lots as compared to some other less fortunates who are in dire needs with no consistent food and basic amenities.
Padmasambhava is a place that provides shelter to single mothers and orphans. They have recently rented another house nearby and turn it into an old folks home. Currently there is only one old folk with two others joining in soon. The home needs partitions urgently to provide privacy for the aged. Please donate yours should you have some extras.
According to Sifu Ani, the home also make three times a month rice and groceries donations to the needy, especially to the single mothers who will come by to collect, of which, we witnessed the preparations this afternoon.
There are items needed at the home written in Chinese Language on a board which I have translated for readers who wish to help out. Pls refer to the pictures posted below.
Coming back to our planned visit this coming 21st June 2009.
We have todate, received RM4,100.00 cash donations from our friends and relatives. As we are now experiencing difficult times in this economic downturn, your overwhelming response in sending in your donations is a testimonial of your compassion and kindness. I truly cherish your generosity and thank you on behalf of the children of Padmasambhava Children Loving Association.
As we have another 10 days to the visit, I hope that more people can come and join us for a good cause and most importantly, have some good fun with the children.
A fund-raising dinner is being arranged on 1 Aug 2009 at Golden Dragon Restaurant, Jalan Kapar. Please support them by buying a ticket valued at RM50 and you will be entertained by some of the winners of Astro Talent Quest.
