Brief:	Team Charlie from the previous IW had taken the challenge to raise fund for Angel's Children Home by collecting old newspaper for recycling. Charity and promoting enviromental awareness is their aim. Updated 25 Nov 06 Attendance: Friday (28th of October) CK, Kar Lye, Christal, Ling, Ezra, HL, Wei Ming, Adrian Recycling day: Even with limited workforces, we managed to travel by car to go door-to-door to collect recyclable items particularly old newspapers. Prior to collecting door-to-door, for the past week, we have also collected recyclable items in our own areas. Through this project, we managed to collect a total sum of RM390.70, that is used to fund our painting project, which was held the week after that. Other than that, another team member, CK has also conducted his own round of recycling in his school, Chong Hwa Independent High School, with a total amount of RM159.60. All in all we have raised a total amount of RM 550.30 Saturday (4th of November) Morning-Sing Way, Agnes, Bee Li, Choon Wei, Michelle, Szu-Mei, May Leng, Kenneth, Lii, Rashvin, Joanne, Kar Lye Afternoon- Yee Tuck, Lian Wei, Chen Peng, Jason, Nyen Lan, Dai Yi, Zhen Hong, Hui Wen, Wai Hong, Yi Xin, Zee Mun, HL à (Chong Hwa Indepent High School), Kar Lye, CK Night- Eve, Shirleen, Adrian, Wei Ming, HL, Christal, Kelvin, CK, Kar Lye Sunday (5th of November) Len Foong, Bee Li, Wei Ming, Mei Ping, CK, Kar Lye Saturday (11th of November) Navin, Sze Too, Lilli, May Xhien, Kai Seng, Len Foong, HL, Christal, Ezra, CK, Kar Lye Banner: Joyce Painting of mural: The painting was done on the 4th, 5th and 11th November. Although the whole painting project did not finished as planned on the 5th (mostly due to the weather condition), we still managed to complete everyt hing by the 11th. With the help of many people (consist of RIKL members, non-RIKL members, friends, and neighbours, family members), the project was completed successfully. We managed to paint the mural on the side wall, paint the main wall with words of “Rumah Kanak-Kanak Angels Kuala Lumpur; 03-79832126”, provide a banner as well as a new signage for the Home. Everything mentioned in the proposal has been completed accordingly. Our most important achievement is definitely completing the project which will ultimately benefit Angels Children’s Home in various ways. Throughout the whole process, working as a team, we have picked up many important lessons. We have learnt how to communicate with the relevant authorities to ask for specific help (sponsorship) or possible purchase. In addition to this, we realised that help from others will only be offered if we, perso nally go looking for it. As we have now truly understand the phrase, “If you never try, you’ll never know”. Through this, we have gotten sponsorship for food, paint (partially) as well as other various items. Besides, through this project, we have crossed paths with many individuals that offered help in many ways, suiting their expertise. At such we learnt how to listen to others for appropriate advice, and to apply them accordingly. As a team in a whole, we have managed to come out with plans (though with disagreements at times) to make the best decisions for the project. Through this also, we learnt to compromise with one another. With detailed planning, and cautious back-up plans, we managed to tackle the “worst-case scenarios” i.e. saving the paint work from being wet by the rain. Though many times, our project was being delayed by the rain, we did not give up, and still went on to complete the project, even though at the expense of a later completion date. Other than that, through the recycling project, we have also learnt to be more environmental-conscious. In addition, the many visits to the orphanage (prior to the actual project day) have given us the opportunity to spend time with the underprivileged children, to indirectly realise how lucky we actually are. It is really important for us to realise that, so that in future, we can actively give back to the society in many ways. Updated 31 Oct 06 Attention to ALL! Team Charlie September IW 2006, has finished the first phase of our PIW project, and now as planned we are proceeding with the final phase; that is painting the main wall/ mural for Angels Children’s Home. Details on helping out on 4th of November 2006 are as below: We need people… literally…the more the merrier (.?.). No, actually the more people turn up to help, the faster we finish. Or elseee, we may have to paint on Sunday (5th of November) as well. Anybody has a lorry to loan for transporting the scaffolding ( a stage-like equipment to paint the higher part of the main wall) equipments,please contact us as soon as possible before the end of Thursday. Maybe you don’t need to own a lorry, but somebody who has very close contact, and some discounted price, someone who has uncles and aunties who actually have some way or another to get the lorry to us will be very much appreciated. We are expecting the brightest sun, and the warmest day on Saturday (worst-case scenario, anything better than that will be a bonus), so please if you have bring a big huge umbrella, cap, or hat. For those who are helping to paint, please do wear old t-shirt, and not some fancy t-shirt which you wish to wear again later. As we will be painting a decent-looking mural, anyone who has any advice in getting mural paints, the kind of brushes, designing, all the etcs regarding mural-painting, please, please… contact me to give me some tips! Note: I will be going to Angels Children’s Home on Friday to get part or maybe the whole of the design of the wall done, if there is anyone who lives around, and wanna give a hand in drawing and designing, please feel free to contact me for more details for thisFriday (3rd of November) We are considering an option to let the children paint the study cabin as well, so if anybody out there would like to spend some time with the very adorable kids, supervising them (they may draw and apple, water, or a stick-man) drawing creatively, please come by as well.

So, what more better way to start the month of dull, “holiday-less” November, other than this? Sign up now! Team Charlie Updated 27 October 06 What is happening? Mural Paiting at Angel's Why? • To paint the side wall and main wall of Angels Children’s Home; • To provide a banner for better exposure; • Replace the current signage with a new one that includes Chinese characters as well. The reason for all the three objectives: Residence around that area (OUG) will be aware of the home so they can further contribute in appropriate ways; As the area is mainly occupied by Chinese residence, a Chinese character signage is essential for possible donations.
