MOW CELEBRATE - Sharing Festive Cheer with the Orang Asli Community in Pulau Indah

These happy faces are testament to the joyful feelings of the volunteers and recipients, both young and old, at the Orang Asli Village in Pulau Indah.

 These pictures were taken last Sunday, 9th Dec 2012, when Ti-Ratana MoW celebrated Christmas with this community.

The children had a whale of a time with a line-up of exciting activities served up to them. Catherine played MC and host, and entertained the children with fun and simple Q&A and rewarding them with candies and lollies.

 The mothers were also given the chance to express their feelings and wishes.

 Derrick and friends played some fun games with prizes and taught them to do the infamous Gangnam dance, which further jazzed up the jovial mood.

Everyone was then treated to a delicious chicken curry lunch, complete with pudding cups and gingerbread cookies for dessert.

 And no MoW party will be complete without presentation of goodie bags to the families. In addition to the basic stuff like sugar, mee hoon, cooking oil and salt, the families also received Danish butter cookies, Horlicks 3 in 1 packs, Ribena, instant noodles, sweetened creamer, a bar of soap and a tee-shirt.

But the thing that got them most excited was the pre-loved clothes, shoes, soft toys, etc. It was such a sight seeing the children and their parents sorting out and choosing the items that they like ... kinda like MoW "pasar malam" (night market)!

The Star Online crew joined us at the event and interviewed our Chairman as well as the mothers and children. Click below to view their coverage of the event.

It was indeed a Sunday well-spent for the volunteers ... serving lunch, playing games, mingling and chatting with the mothers and children, but most of all, the satisfaction and gratification from seeing the smiling and delighted faces of these folks is priceless.

Before we departed, the Head of External Affairs, En Sunyi requested our help to set up a library for the children. We will definitely do our best to fulfill the community’s wish to have a library. We will be grateful for contribution of used and new books that we hope will cultivate good reading habits amongst the children.
