4th May 2009 – All three of our Malaysian representatives visited Pondok Penyayang Raudhah. It was shocking: a total of 90 orphans with only 2 rooms to spare.

Quoting Amirah:

They actually need A LOT of help:
1. Transportation – bus/van. Currently the kids take public buses to school.
2. Groceries – constant shortage on dry goods and groceries (biscuits, onions, ikan bilis etc).
3. Used clothes are always welcomed.
4. Cash – at least RM1600 monthly for maintenance (for 90 kids, excluding volunteers)
5. Motivation – most of the kids are a step closer to giving up on education and life in general.
