Two good news from the Star today. As school children are getting ready to go back to school,  one group donated school bags and stuff to 1000 students, while another sponsored 40 spectacles for children.

News 1:

ABOUT 1,000 poor pupils received school bags, shoes and stationery at an event orgainsed by the Petaling Jaya Old Town Sun Tau Jing Sheh temple, in partnership with the Yayasan Maha Karuna Educare programme.

“We are giving these items to the children to encourage them to work study harder,” said organising chairman Jacob Chan Teng Meng, during the event at the temple in Jalan 1/15 recently.
Education aid: (Back row from left) Chan, Sun Tau Jing Sheh Abbot Venerable Shi Kai Shan and Saranankara with the children who received the schoolbags.

Yayasan Maha Karuna founder Ven B. Sri Saranankara Nayaka Maha Thera said the Educare programme was started in 2001 and they aimed to help about 5,000 children each year.

He added that they helped children irrespective of their race or religion.

“We are not only working with temples but also NGOs.

“Our objective is to encourage the public to start their own initiatives to help the poor in their own community,” he said.

The pupils were from SJK(C) Choong Wen, SJK(C) Yak Chee, SJK(C) Chen Moh PJ, SJK(C) Yuk Kuan, SJK(C) Han Meng, SJK(T) Kinrara, SK(1) Petaling Jaya, SK Petaling Jaya, SR Sathya Sai, SJK(T) Vivekananda and SJK(C) Chung Hwa Damansara.

The children, whose parents were from the low-income group, were recommended by their respective schools.

News 2:

THE SJK (Tamil) Rawang Parents-Teacher Association (PIBG) sponsored spectacles for 40 children with poor eyesight.

Its chairman, C. Pamarasivam, said the children who received the spectacles were from poor families.

“Because it is expensive to buy spectacles, the PIBG allocated RM120 for each pupil.
Part of school programme: A pupil getting his eyes checked.

“Many teachers have complained about pupils having poor eyesight. Further checks revealed that some pupils are shortsighted while others are longsighted.

“Some cases are very bad. Many parents just could not afford to buy spectacles for their children and we decided to do so,” said Paramasivam who was present during an eye check-up programme at the school recently.

About 1,600 pupils in the school had a free eye check up.

2 years of school for student who got 7As

Saw the repeat of Vizhuthugal on Astro just now. There was an interview with Darvin Raj from SJKT Teluk Datuk who got 7As. Big deal, you may say. But his story is not the average one. He was a leukemia patient who went to school in Standard One for few months. After that, he stopped schooling due to treatment until 10 years old. He reentered school in Standard Five. Aided by his mother and teachers, the boy got 7As for his UPSR. Sadly his mother is not around as she succumbed to kidney failure.

The boy hopes to grow up and do seva via his occupation. God bless him!

Got a good news from Dr Sreedharan yesterday afternoon:

SRJK Tamil Ladang Lauderdale Estate recorded for its first time a 71.2 percentage passes. Sri Vidya who kept missing her class due to transport problem solve with a bicycle was the top student with 7As . This the best acheivement .

Later he sent an email with the details:

Dearest Friends ,

I write today to all of you with the greatest excitement and in an elevated mood

The day I took the task of helping SRJK ( T ) Ladang Lauderdale Estate was the very day my stress and sleepless night started.

After a lot of hiccups the 2 classroom was completed . I have submitted my report to you .

Today is my most happiest day as I happilly announce that the SRJK ( T ) Ladang Lauderdale Estate for the first time recorded a passing percentage of 71.2 percent . Sri Vithya , the girl who had been missing her classes because her father desserted the family and mother had to support the family . We arranged for a small amount of money for the family provided she send Sri Vithya to school . We also gave her a bicycle as a transport . Sri Vithya was the top student with 7A’s .

I am yet to get the complete report as everyone in the schools are busy running around and screaming at the top of the voices . I have been restrained from going out of my room due my eye infection. Quarrantined in the store room .

Other news – We also were able to receive more funds to build another 3 classrooms and toilets for students and teachers .

We had some trouble getting approval from the owners of the estate to approve te land for the building of the 3 classrooms but thanks to Mr. Vell Paari who looked into it immediatelly andgt the land approved . The construction is already in progress .

I hope the MI club members who gathered with me earlier this year at the school before we started this project will be there to join me again once more at the end of the completion of the project .

Friends we have done it . We have made the change . I thank all of you who believed in me whenyou sponsore generously and all of you for walking along with me . Thank you .

Dr.Sreedharan.

People like you and me can make a difference. The above is a living proof. SJKT Ladang Lauderdale  was first highlighted in April with a second report in August. Within a year, you have brought a difference to the lives of the children.

Tarikh : 12  NOVEMBER  2009

Tuan,

Rayuan Derma Untuk Membina Kabin Bilik Darjah

Adalah saya dengan segala hormatnya merujuk kepada perkara  di atas.

2. Dengan sukacitanya dimaklumkan bahawa pihak sekolah berusaha untuk membina  tiga buah Bilik Darjah Kabin yang berharga RM24 000.00 (3 x RM8 000.00) kerana kekurangan bilik darjah.

3. . Untuk makluman  pihak tuan, kami sedang berusaha untuk menaikkan taraf sekolah ini sebagai SEKOLAH KLUSTER (CEMERLANG) menjelang tahun 2011. Kami telahpun dan sedang menjalankan beberapa projek khas untuk meningkatkan taraf pendidikan sekolah ini. Kami yakin hasrat kami akan tercapai dengan kerjasama pihak tuan. Kami juga berjanji pihak kami berusaha bersunggu-sungguh untuk mencapai hasrat tersebut. Jika berjaya SJK T Ladang Changkat akan merupakan satu-satunya  sekolah Tamil yang berjaya di Malaysia dan ini akan menjadi contoh kepada sekolah-sekolah lain.

4. Baru-baru ini pihak sekolah telah mengubah infrastruktur sekolah dengan bantuan kewangan kerajaan negeri dan persekutuan tetapi masih terdapat kekurangan kemudahan  yang perlu untuk sesebuah Sekolah Kluster. Pihak kami  juga jangka bilangan murid juga akan bertambah pada tahun 2010. Kami juga menjemput pihak tuan ke sekolah untuk membuat tinjauan jika perlu.

5. Saya sangat berharap tuan dapat membantu kami demi merealisasikan harapan kami. Kerjasama pihak tuan dalam perkara tersebut di atas didahului dengan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan ucapan ribuan terima kasih.
