Couple day ago, me, @viverridae and @matthewdoughty decided to join @veenang and @chanelcalestus to check out hostel that place under privileged kids to allow them to continue further studies.

These kids are from rural area sent there by their parents or relative as this hostel would care and guide them while they are away from home to do their best in life.

While checking out the facilities i am actually pretty impress as they did received some help from other NGO helping them to ensure that the facilities at the hostel is sufficient for the kids to grow well and do well.

We met with the caretake vincent and share with him our goal and most importantly to understand the place better, what other kind of help do they need most. We learn that they help with basic food supplies as there is 51 kids that is under their care and there is lot of mouth to feed.

Anyway, i took the opportunity to tell the caretaker the world of steemit and suggest to them that we are willing to assist them if they wish to consider using steemit as their alternative sustainable financial mechanism to sustain their operation , so in the future they will be self sustain . In short we wanted to do more than just giving them fish, we want to show them how to fish. While there is process that i may need to go through to see this happen , ie presenting to thier BOD etc. I hope with our initial initiative to raise some funds through steemit will inspire them that to show them that it is possible.

Goal
We set a goal of RM3000.00 (USD775.00), nonetheless looking at Steem/SBD rates now, it seems quite an uphill task. We would like to encourage everyone who is reading this to support this charity drive. When we had the meeting with warden Vincent, he informed us of some of the items that are needed urgently such as:

Rice (Beras)
Dark / Light Soya Sauce, Salt/Sugar, Tomato / Chilli Sauce
Milo / Nestum / Coffee Powder
Sweet Condensed Milk
Kaya Spread / Peanut Butter
Cooking Oil
Assorted Biscuits
Tomato / Chilli Sauce
Eggs / Flour
Dish Washing/Clothes Detergent

Apart from purchasing these essential goods, we will also be organizing a special treat for the boys - a simple luncheon and some gifts for the lucky winner of activities and games. dates will be updated.
