Mizuho Volunteer Day with 80 volunteers

17 October 2015 Mizuho Bank's "Mizuho Volunteer Day" (MVD 2015)

Total 80 volunteers which is probably the largest group of volunteers HOPE worldwide Malaysia had thus far, participating in 4 community programs - Food Distribution Program, MY Reading Program, Creative Art Program and visiting to the beneficial families' houses.

The Home Visit Program was the highlight of the day as we we had 43 volunteers (out of 80 volunteers) signed up, visited 24 families within 2 hours. The volunteers were all guided by 8 facilitators to visit the families i different housing areas. During the home visit, the volunteers from Mizuho Bank were warmly greeted and welcomed by the families. Each family had their life story to tell which left so much inspiration and impact toward the volunteers. We brought KFC Combo meal and groceries to each family.

We had the second group of volunteers who worked at the Sentul Free Clinic for the Food Distribution Program, which reached out to estimate 80 families, who were here to collect the groceries. Thanks to all fellow volunteers who compassionately helping some of the families to carry their groceries to the bus stop to take the public transport home.

We also had a minimal number of volunteers who stayed back at the centre to be Teachers of the Day in the MY Reading Program and Creative Art Program.

By the end of the MVD, we had the volunteers who did the home visit to share their experiences and the inspirations they gained.

It was indeed an inspiring time as we heard so many volunteers shared about how much they feel for the living condition of low income group families. Some of the famlies, though they didn't have a lot, but they offered their hospitality to thank the volunteers who came to help them. One of the families even do not have mattresses that they have to sleep on the floor. The volunteers from Mizuho who visited the family decided to pool their donations together to buy mattresses for this family. There was an elderly woman from one of the families, who kissed a young volunteer's hands as she expressed her gratitude.

We are indeed very grateful and honored to have hosted the Mizuho Volunteer Day (MVD) at HOPE worldwide Malaysia. We look forward to have more working opportunities to create greater social impact in the future!

INTI International College students kick start MY Reading Program 2015

24 January 2015, MY Reading Program with students from INTI International College (KL Campus)

Thanks to the group of volunteers from INTI International College who volunteered in the first session of the first semester for MY Reading Program in 2015.

This year, each student carries a book as the book is going to record down their learning progress like their evaluation scoring, vocabulary tests, spelling and word search puzzle. So, one of the activities of the day was for the children to make their book cover.

Besides, the children were evaluated by pre-assessment to justify their proficiency. And according to their level of proficiency, we can assign the suitable set of books for the children to read in aim to help them to learn progressively. The volunteers were involved in evaluating the kids, and as well teaching them during the assessment.

After that, we had a game which we never play for a long time. Where the kids were divided into two groups and the two groups of kids will send their representative, to compete with each other, who is the fastest one to recognize the picture (by putting the cup on it) right after the facilitator shout out the word.
