How it started?

Simply with this email going out to my friends and practically everybody I knew...

An appeal.....

From Papia to you.Most of you know, our lil one (Paheli) who has changed our lives for the better, is adopted. Last year, we visited the house that gave her a shelter, where she was taken care of her at a crucial time. The lack of a proper hygienic bath and toilet was visible. The home is overwhelmed with numbers. Made me think that a small donation MYR 20 / INR 300 / USD 8 - upwards (more will be very useful ofcourse), can go a long way in getting a proper, toilet and bath facility for the children.

I PERSONALLY take responsibility to make sure each cent goes into the project. I will be solely accountable for the execution. An architect has offered services for the planning and I will source contractors and workers for it personally. I will bear all supervision for the entire project at my own cost of travel and monitoring or designing for special needs children. EVERY CHILD HAS A RIGHT TO A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT!! This is a small effort. It always starts somewhere.This is just an initiative, I want to take on. Its VERY doable!!

CAN you help? WILL you help?

ANYBODY who commits will get regular updates from me, I promise that. Our target is 4 shower stalls, 10 WCs and 5 sinks, that are for children and for those who are physically challenged. IF you know ANYONE else who can pitch in, please pass on the message. NOTHING official about it! Just a tiny attempt without red tape. Many many thanks and I count hugely on your support. Reaching out and hoping you will too...

Note: I will coordinate cash collections within KL and for those possible, bank transfer is the only thing I can think of and will provide details on request. I am not a professional accountant but will try my best to account for all funds received to the best of my amateurish abilities. ANY other help and offer for services in your field or capacity will be deeply appreciated. All ideas are welcome.
