On 26 October 2011, Welfare Section organised a trip to two welfare homes in Klang Valley, which were participated by thirteen members and friends.
In the morning, we visited the Kim Loo Ting Hong Ying Welfare Home at Lorong Air Putih, Off Jln Air Panas, 53200 Setapak. It was our third visit for year 2011.
Kim Loo Ting was set up by a Mahayana monk who helps terminally ill elderly patients 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. The founder had already passed away. Currently, the home is managed by Rev. Seck Fa Yin. We donated RM1,600 towards the home's bereavement fund.
In the afternoon, we visited the Bodhisetra Sanctuary Welfare Home in Taman Ikan Emas, Cheras. The home has 8 children and 6 old folks. It was our second visit for year 2011.
We were informed that DBKL has issued them an eviction notice due to redevelopment of the land which belong to the Government. We hope DBKL will relocate them to an alternative premise with adequate space. We donated RM500 to the home.
