What We Can Do?

Assalamualaikum, Welcome back!

Okay, now here's the ideas of activities;

Rather than providing financial aids, we prefer to teach them on how to fish (thanks mom for this!) So, here's some of the things.

1. Free Tuition for orphans

Well, we have started phase 1 for an orphans home in Balik Pulau Penang. With 11 volunteers, we are going to cover for 18 students on weekly basis. As the very basic concept of volunteering is not to burden the volunteers, we'll do rounds of shifts, every Saturday, 9.00am~12.00pm, where each volunteers will only need to come for alternate week (twice a month). The teaching sure'll be a challenging one, but the planning is even more. But hold no worries, if you are interested in this, just drop us your email/contact no and location. You will not probably be joining our group of 11, but even better, you'll work with your own crew and independantly. Yess, you'll get more freedom to shape the program and it'll do everyones good by enabling more creative ideas/systems and we can share it out. We won't be your leader or anything coz I think if a guy is willingly joining a volunteering activities, automatically he's entitled to become the leader of his own. :) So, what we'll do is we'll try our very best to allocate another 9 members (as in a group of 10), find the nearest orphanage and possible funds. =)

2. Motivational Camps/Talks

This one is not on routine basis and more on by project works. As for our current group of 11, we already have a master planner of Icebreaking and motivational camps, the awesome Ms B. So, we also welcome anyone to work with her, sharing ideas etc. However, most importantly, this motivational camps will be giving true/real exposure of profession out there to this kids so that they will know the insight of each profession and help them to decide their ambitions since their younger days.

A dream is always of what one needs to stay in the right track. With a dream in mind, no one will have time to play slack.

Anyway, it is really sad to say that since all 11 of us are totally engineers, we have no experience in any other field and thus really welcome those who's willing to help. This activity is simple. Let us know that you are interested, so, whenever there is a camp, we'll drop you an email/give us a call. Of course, let us know your whereabout as well so that we could be more considerate. Ahah!

3. Occasional activities

We haven't started any of this yet, but maybe, once this network become bigger, we could do some trip, missions of spreading love to old folks or helping unfortunate families building home or anything to help. Any excess money, we could help to contribute something that the person could use to generate income from it. Unless really badly in need, let's try to avoid donating food as I know there's a lot of organization/warm-hearted donors that already serve this purpose. Remember, rather than giving a fish to a man, let's try to teach the guy on how to fish ;) Of course more time and effort is needed for this but, if we do it for ALLAH, nothing will go as waste ;)

Well, I think it's about time for my doc to make his round now, so I'll stop here. In case of you are interested, do get in touch with us. Provide us with your name, email or possible phone no, choice of volunteering activities and location. I promise we'll get back to you asap. Till then, cya! Salam! ^.^

Yokoso! ^.^

Assalamualaikum, Yo all! ;)

Yeah2, I've been dragging my feet for far too long to complete this blog, and I really am sorry for that. Like I've told you friends before, I've found my limit (which is I'm totally blur whenever I'm facing this blue screen with a B symbol with it), but guess what, after series of unfortunate events, hey, I'm writing it now! So, for whatever it is happening now, I'm totally thankful for it. Soon, this blog should be up and flying and those dreams are again to be realized, once again. =)

By the way, hey readers, not to forget, I'd like to warmly welcome you guys for still tuning-in. I'm truly a newcomer and never wrote any blog for these 26 years (and 10 months :P) that I've lived, so, forgive me for any annoyance and also for any ignorances that I might carry around with me, will ya? And ya, frankly speaking, this blog is not exclusively meant only for that group of great, awesome friends of mine, rather, you are our VVIP, the center and main focus of this blog. Why? Ahaa.. you'll find out soon. ^_^

Okie, so, enough about that. Let's talk more about why this blog is being setup and what is this VP project is all about. VP stands for Volunteering Program and like the name accurately describe, it is meant to inspired us to do any volunteering a.k.a charity works, especially for the unfortunates. Strictly no political bias. Both muslims and non-muslims are very much welcomed. Even so, we strongly encourage muslims to take parts in these activities. The actual reason for this is, as ashamed as we are to the fact, in contradict to Islam teaching, it true, muslims especially in malaysia are still lacking in contributing to volunteering/charity activities, unlike budists, hindus and christians out there. We hope to change that. We hope to be at least able to create environment for intelligent, warm, kind and with giving heart of TRUE moslem as actually required by our god, Allah. Thus, I'm truly sorry for this selfishness.

Okay, I think it's long enough for the moment :P. Anyway, if you guys ever wonder why would you wanna do it, do check out the next post okay. See ya then! :)
