Discover a ‘new’ within the ‘old’

The results are out folks! How much did Team Bravo raised? Was it enough? Did we reach our target? All of that, plus never seen before footage of Team Bravo...

The day started off with Yen handing over the keys to his house, where we were based at for the day. We tried to bring as much paper as possible from home, just in case...

The first round of collecting was more like a warm up. Getting used to putting on our best smiles, greeting the neighbours chirpily, explaining our cause under 3 minutes, figuring out who’s the driver, the maid, the and boss...

To minimize carbon monoxide output (and to save money...) we used little trolleys that people use to do their marketing to load the newspapers, instead of driving from house to house.

We crossed paths with an old newspaper collector who was blaring ‘Sao Gao Pou Chi’ throughout the neighbourhood. There was no battle of words though, CK politely asked him to collect somewhere else, whereas Kar Lye asked if he would kindly donate what he had, since we were doing it for charity...

CK looked very happy with the results... before lunch break. Since the old newspaper was visible from outside of Yen’s house, we decided to lock the gate.... with Kar Lye’s bicycle lock. Just in case the old newspaper collector followed us and saw our pile of old newspaper.

Even though we were on our break, we never forget about our mission. We took every paper/box we could get our hands on and added it to our growing pile at Yen’s house.

Final round of unloading. The people from MNI came a little earlier than scheduled and our collection was not very encouraging after lunch. Hence we decided to cut short the collection time and return to Yen’s house.

We definitely had fun fund raising for Angels Home.

We had more fun loading the newspapers onto the lorry in the end!

So, how much did we raise? We surpassed our target by collecting a total amount of RM604.10 for Angels Home.

What's going on this week??

Here's some updates of the latest PIW Projects.


Team Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta are all working hard on their Post Intro Weekend Projects. Bravo and Delta have had their fundraising activities two weeks ago. Both teams are working really hard to bring extra joy and happiness to the kids from Angels Home. Bravo will bring the lovely kids to Petrosains Malaysia for an educational excursion on 10 August where as Delta will be repainting the home some time in August too.

Since two groups showed great effort for their projects, you guys must be wondering what are Alpha and Charlie doing then? Both of the teams have collaborated to raise funds for PAWS.

All proceeds will go to PAWS. The money collected will feed hundreds of our little feline and canine friends in PAWS. There's a whole lot of them, 370 at last count.So, all the help given is definitely appreciated.

During the event, we will have forms waiting to be filled for pledging meals. Each day each one of our canine friend requires about RM3 for meals. Pledge a meal a week and you'll keep one little canine from having to starve for a week.

Also, PAWS requires 2-3 volunteers a day on the weekends only (Satuday and Sunday) to show visitors around the compound in Subang. Come pledge your time, especially those living around Subang.You need not commit to help out every weekend, you decide how many days you want
to help out!

Please come and help us by supporting our cause! All you need to do is to come hang out a while, there is no physical work and you don't have to do anything except to BUY or PLEDGE or SIGN or just to BUY BUY BUY!;p

Remember Those Smiles...?

Greetings Raleigh-ians,

Remember the tingling feeling down in your heart when you receive your first Choo-choo train? Your first Barbie?

Remember your innocent smile when your mummy serves your favourite dish or brings you to McDonalds?

Remember the playground laughter you hear when all the kids gather in the evening to play?

Unfortunately, there are a handful of children who do not go through that phase. So it’s up to us to make do and give them what they deserve. They, too, deserve a happy childhood.

This coming weekend, team Delta will be fundraising for Angels Children Home. The home currently houses around 15 children below the age of 15 and is currently in need of daily supplies, medical treatment and mainly cash support to pay the bills. Thus, we would like to humbly request the participation of all to come together this weekend to raise fund for them.

We would be collecting newspapers for recycling and offering odd job services. Please lend a hand as every participation will make a difference.

We will be gathering at KL Sentral at 8.45 am on Saturday, 19th of July and will leave for the Home at 9 am sharp. For those who are interested to come help out, or for further information, please contact Govin at 017 286 0996.


See Ya There!

Discover a ‘new’ within the ‘old’

How many times have you looked through past records and learned something new?
When was the last time, you made a child happy?
Well, that is what our PIWP is all about.

Team Bravo will be taking 15 children from Angels Home on a journey of discovery to Petrosains, KLCC. We want the kids to have fun, and at the same time learn about the wonders of Science. As we go through this journey with them, we ourselves might learn a thing or two, just by observing the children.

For that to happen, we, Team Bravo will be raising funds by collecting paper materials that the folks of Bangsar do not want. Things such as newspapers, magazines, books, notes, love letters, bills, and boxes are what we will be collecting. We will be going house to house, spreading a cause and we will need some help from all you splendid people out there. Raleigh-ians and non Raleigh-ians who are kind enough to provide us with transportation (10 to 15 cars needed) and also a helping hand are very much welcomed!

Details of fund raising day:

Date: 12th July 2008 (Saturday)
Itenary: 8.00am Gather at KL Sentral
8.30am Head to Bangsar/unloading of paper material at Yen’s house
8.50am Begin collection of unwanted paper material
12.00pm Lunch Break
1.45pm continue scavenging for paper material
4.45pm Finish up and gather at Yen’s house

You can also go the extra mile by collecting old paper material before hand and bringing them along to Bangsar on that day! The lorry from the recycling center will be collecting all of it at the end of the day. Since it has already been half a year since a PIWP was done, I guess many Raleigh-ians are wondering what is going on with the latest batch of recruits! Come and meet the new faces of RIKL! Your support means a lot and is greatly appreciated!

Do contact us should you be interested or have any querries, so that the necessary arrangements can be made.
