MOW CELEBRATE - Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre Visit on the 16th of February 2014

Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre Visit

On the 16th of February 2014, the Meals on Wheels family of Ti-Ratana Penchala Community center visited the Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre at Sungei Besi, Kuala Lumpur.


"Mr Cheong Loy , an undertaker running a funeral parlour on the grounds of the Kwong Tong Cemetery in Sungei Besi, has graciously opened up the first floor of his facility to care for senior citizens abandoned by their families at hospitals across the Klang Valley for more than ten years. 

The hospitals provide them with free medical care but the expenses for the centre comes from Mr Cheong Loy himself and from public contributions'. by Zainal Amar

As the other members prepared lunch, the rest began to mingle and speak to the residents of the home.

As stories were shared, emotions surfaced.

As emotions ran high, some members took a moment for themselves.

They care for one another as all they have is each other.

Love not just given to fellow human beings but animals as well.

MOW Mobile Library – Workbooks for underprivileged children

Children from poor families are always at a disadvantaged as the families are not able to afford to buy workbooks to supplement the school text books.

On Monday, 24th February, Ti-Ratana Meals on Wheels handed over 5 boxes of workbooks for primary school children to the Headmistress and Senior Assistant of SJKC Jinjang Tengah 1.

These books will come in handy for children from Standard 1 to Standard 6, when they are doing their revisions, and to have a better grasp of the lessons taught in the classrooms.

On behalf of the schoolchildren, a BIG THANK YOU to Popular Book Store for their generous donation of these books.
