2015.08.14 - Be a gift to the world

14 August 2015 - A sewing machine gift to poor family. Another meaningful project done. Congratulation to Pre. Ngooi Danny, PP Gary Yeak Lek Chong, PP Thong Sheng Bee, Rtn. Ngooi Seng Peng and all members of the club for the wonderful support towards the project.






Electrical Sewing Machine sponsorship

On the 23.06.2015, we received an appeal for an Electrical Sewing Machine from Suganthy a/p Paskaran, I/C No: 801208-08-5980 residing at No.1141, Pekan Gurney, 32000 SITIAWAN.

She is a housewife with 5 school going children aged between 4 – 13 years old. Her husband met with an accident two years ago. His hand and fingers have become weak and is only able to do light work. However he is working in a hardware shop and is only getting a salary of RM900.00 which is not sufficient to meet the family expenses.

She was planning to work from home in order to supplement her family’s income. She needed the Electric Sewing machine to be able to fulfill small sewing contracts that come her way.

Past President Dr.Yeak took the initiative to go down to meet her and do a background check on the family. He reported that she indeed needs help and the machine will make a positive difference to the current situation.

The appeal was brainstormed during the Rotary BOD meeting on the 05.08.2015 and the BOD decided that she was a worthy recipient of a sponsorship.

On the 14.08.2015 a group of Rotarians visited Suganthy’s family and had the machine delivered and installed in her house. She was very grateful and promised to make good use of the machine to upgrade her family’s quality of life.

We will be making a follow up visit to check on her progress.

Thank you.
