A very good morning to all of you.
On behalf of the MIM Alumni's
members, I wish to thank all of you for taking time off this morning, especially on a
Saturday morning, to attend and witness this significant event.
It is too frequent that we have to
read about infants born with disabilities, either mental or physical. To add to their
misfortune, these infants are often abandoned by their own parents or family members, who
are unable to cope with their disabilities and some that are so poor, they are unable to
even contribute to their children's living expenses, as these children require
special care and attention.
This fund raising project was
launched in year 2001, and was made possible with the support from the Popular Book Co (M)
Sdn Bhd, by allowing us to place donation boxes at selected Popular Book Stores across the
nation. This provided us with the opportunity to reach out to the community, as it helped
to create awareness and visibility for the less fortunate.
With this, on behalf of the alumni
members, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the Popular Book Co. (M) Sdn Bhd
for making this fund raising project a success. Without your support, contribution, and
cooperation, we could not have been able to raise the amount that we have, approximately
Ringgit Malaysia Eighteen Thousand.
Lastly, I would like to thank all
the well-wishers, contributors, staff of the Popular Book stores, MIM and not forgetting
the alumni members for your contribution and effort rendered to this project.
Sometimes the smallest
contributions and actions could result in the greatest of rewards. Together let us make
this world a better place to live for these less fortunate children.
Thank you once again for your
contributions and support.
Have a nice day! |
