IB Students from Bahrain APG School send warmth and love to Families in Sentul

24 January 2017, Home Visit with Volunteers from Bahrain Arabian Pearl Gulf (APG) School

22 students from Bahrain Arabian Pearl Gulf (APG) School conducted a home visit by sending groceries and KFC Meals  to 18 families yesterday. This is an annual program where this group of IB students spent their time here volunteering in various Charity Organizations here and HOPE worldwide Malaysia is very privileged to have these students here, visiting our beneficiaries homes.

Although we had a drizzling afternoon while conducting the home visit and all of us had to walk under the rain, carrying the groceries. But that didn't stop the passion of these volunteers and I would like to appreciate these volunteers for their dedication in this home visit program.

This is the 3rd group of students from Bahrain APG School since the 1st group came in year 2011. And we are so grateful to have these students, who have the Heart of Gold to reaching out to the poor and needy.

Thanks to Bahrain APG School who have donated the groceries which consist of nutritious food for children and adults to sustain their daily lives and work.

Lallitha, 51 years old, has no awareness about her health condition until our doctor conducted the blood test on her that she is diagnosed as a hypertension and diabetes patient. Lallitha was grateful for the Health and Wellness Campaign that saves her from a worsen stage of her health, as her husband is working as a lorry driver, and his salary could only be sufficient to support the family’s daily living.
