Donations for Agathians Shelter in collaboration with Friends and Business Partners

6th March 2010, marked a very special day for Agathians Shelter in PJ as we raised about RM 1200 from friends and suppliers to buy some food as donation to the 33 young children housed in a shelter nestled next to the federal highway off the Jalan Templer/222 turn-off.

This is a view of the shelter from the Federal Highway, Subang bound.

We chanced upon this shelter when we wanted to embark on our mission to give back to the society as we felt that the underprivileged also deserves a right to feel good.   A little background on the shelter is that this shelter is currently housing 33 boys, aged 4 to 17 and the picture you see above is the corner unit that they are renting to expand.  Their existing house is the unit before the corner unit you see in the picture above and before they can move into the new "wing" they will require RM12,000.00 for wiring and plumbing purposes alone!  Currently this renovation has been pending for the past 2 months due to a lack of funds.

Here's a link on I found on YouTube on them.  Click here.

Here are some additional pictures of what went on that day.
