Help needed Education has always been my passion - both constantly educating myself as well as ensuring others get an education. I have had the opportunity to study at 3 different universities. The comforts in life that I have now, I can attribute them to the education that I have received. Helping others gain an education is an area that I have and wish to contribute. Last year, my team through the Trek for a Cause (TFAC) initiative, working together with Yayasan Kemanusiaan Muslim Aid Malaysia, raised abut RM 100,000 to support the education of under-privileged children in Malaysia. With the money raised and together with funds from other sources, we have established a school in Ampang. The school (we call it a Learning Centre) caters for about 100 refugee children, mostly Rohingyas from Myanmar. The children are taught basic subjects (English, Maths, etc) and the school has 4 teachers. . Although providing education for 100 children is already rather challenging, we are also humbled by the fact that these 100 students represent only 1% of the total number of refugee children in Malaysia. We are barely scratching the surface. . This year we are launching the second round of fund raising to raise about RM 500,000. The money will be used for : (a) to sustain the school in Ampang (b) to establish 2 more schools in the Kelang Valley, to cater for another 200 refugee children. (c) to establish a school for the Bajau Laut children in the east coast of Sabah . The support I need from you guys are : (a) If you can make a donation, please do.
