We are delighted to announce that we have received overwhelming contributions for our forthcoming Deepavali event. A big thank you to all donors for helping us make this Deepavali a "warmer" and happier one for the Children.
******************************************************
Deepavali, also known as the "Festival of Lights," symbolizes the victory of good over evil, and lamps are lit as a sign of celebration of hope, happiness and peace for humankind.
Come join Ti-Ratana Meals on Wheels as we celebrate Deepavali with children from Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Lagenda. Lets do our bit to show the children we care enough to light up their lives, even if it is just for a day.
A little about the Children in this Home...
These “Istimewa” children are special, not because they are physically or mentally challenged. They are special because they belonged to this BIG HAPPY FAMILY of this truly kind hearted couple, Sara and Selvam. Sara and Selvam have 5 children of their own. However, their big heart and love for children have motivated them establish this home 4 years ago.
This double-storey corner house is rented at RM700 per month, and houses 22 children and 4 adults, excluding Sara and her family who live in another house. All the 4 adults help out in the running of the Home. The Home is clean and well-maintained which is important for the well-being of the children.
The children, aged from 4 years to 18 years, are mostly from abusive environments or have been abandoned by their parents. Living in this Home, the children are provided with shelter, love and care, and most importantly are able to go to school. As the Home does not have its own vehicle, Sara pays RM50 per month per child for transport to and from school. This comes to RM1,000 per month. The children also get RM1 per day as pocket money to school, or total of RM500 per month. Utilities comes to about RM300 per month while the monthly food bill is about RM3,000. With other miscellaneous expense, Sara needs about RM6000 per month to run the Home. Funding comes from donations from companies and private individuals, whilst the 8 committee members of this Home chip in whenever they are short. Fortunately, all donations to the Home are tax-exempted.
Selvam is a sales person with Electrolux, while Sara takes care of the Home full time, together with her step-sister Vanaja and Jayanthi a single mother. Vanaja is divorced from her drunkard husband and has 4 children staying in the Home. Jayanthi has one child in the Home.
On my first visit to the Home on 20th Sep 2013, the children were having lunch as most are in the afternoon session school. They eat in the porch, some sitting on the bench and some on the floor.
The living room is where the boys sleep while the girls sleep in the rooms upstairs. The children appears healthy and clean, and most importantly Happy. How different their lives would have been if they have not been “adopted” and taken into this Home by Sara and Selvam.
This kind-hearted couple worked hard to give these children a place they can call home. Let us give them a helping hand to make this year’s Deepavali a very “Istimewa” one for the “Istimewa” children.
