Second Visit to Jenjarom Old Folk Home

On 26/2/2011, we visited Jenjarom Old Folk Home again. There were 10 of us in 2 cars, we started our journey from KL at around 10:30am. As the traffic was quite heavy on the way to Jenjarom, we reached the Old Folk Home at around 12:00pm.

This old folk home is currently supported by Sis. Lim Mee Sew and Mrs. Tang's group who sponsor one lunch to the inmates every month. The lunch is catered by Restoran New Shiang Sze Lou (新湘子楼酒家）in Jenjarom. Sis. Lim told me that they were recommended by a temple in Jenjarom to support this home. The group members visit the home, particularly, when any of the members' birthday fall on that month.

Since Chinese New Year was just over, Welfare Section sponsored angpows for the old folks. Several members distributed angpows and some gifts to the old folks too.
Sis Lim and Sis. Mei Sze were the birthday girls in February 2011. Sis. Chi Lan couldn't find any birthday cake around, she bought a "pau" as a substitute to wish them a happy birthday. A big sadhu to the birthday girls for giving us a treat at Restoran New Shiang Sze Lou

Visits to Kim Loo Ting Hong Ying Home and Xin Hui Buddhist Society Orphanage Home

On 19 February 201, we visited Kim Loo Ting Hong Ying Home and Xin Hui Buddhist Society Orphanage Home.

Kim Loo Ting is an old folk home that deserves to be supported as it sincerely helps the elderly patients who are terminally ill but have to leave the hospital(s), homeless and single without any dependents. The patients are given a decent and clean place to stay with proper care until they leave this world. We donated RM1,600 towards the home's bereavement fund.

We then proceed to Taman Ikan Emas, Cheras （焦赖金鱼村四楼巴刹隔壁）to visit an orphanage set up by Xin Hui Buddhist Society (信慧佛学会), which is located next to a wet market.

The orphanage has about 10 children, aged 7-15, which is housed in this Buddhist Centre. Its name is "Boddhiseira Sanctuary" (菩提禅刹）．　

The centre provides free medical service too.

It has a professionally landscaped garden. Here are three snapshots of the awsome garden.

We have a group photograph with the kids before bidding farewell.
