2011
For Christmas 2011 Rebak Island Resort launched a Christmas CSR

The resort laid on a special ferry to transport the partygoers to the

were taken by buggy to enjoy .a wonderful buffet. Staff were on
hand to help the children with batik painting. There are some
budding artists amongst them!

Table Sale
Table Sale - Australia
November 2010
Sue and Adrian love Langkawi and visit often. They were clearing out
their home near Perth to rent it out whilst they toured around
Australia in their motor home next year and decided that all the
proceeds from their table sale would be donated to us.
We were
delighted with this idea - even more delighted when they told us they
had raised the equivalent of RM 1200 from this enterprise! They plan to
visit Langkawi for a month in March and we look forward to the
opportunity of thanking them personally for this kind gesture.
We will
hold these funds separately and agree with Sue and Adrian how they
should be spent for the benefit of underprivileged families in
Langkawi.
When Sue
and Adrian visited Langkawi in March they handed over nearly RM 2800
which they wished to be donated to the Special Appeal for surgery for
Aqmal.

Charity Stall at Blood Donation day
7 August 2010
Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall in
conjunction with ANSARA (alumni association for former students of MARA
colleges) and MARA (Indigenous People’s Trust Council) Junior
Science College in Langkawi organised a blood donation drive on
Saturday 7 August, ahead of the fasting month of Ramadhan to aid the
blood bank which receives decreased blood donations during this period.
The Charity Club took a stall
at this event selling items (previously donated by the public) in order
to raise funds to provide food parcels for families in need in Langkawi.
On sale were household items
and many clothes, including a whole rail of Baju Kurong (local Muslim
dress) which were very popular with the oncoming Hari Raya
celebrations. We were also selling copies of our colourful Asian recipe
book that arrived hot off the press just a few days before the event.
Payapaya, the organic vegetable
growing company based in Langkawi, continued its support of The Charity
Club by sharing our stall to sell a variety of vegetables and homemade
pickles. They kindly donated all proceeds from the sale of the
morning’s harvest as well as a percentage of the sale of their
pickles. Thank you Kyri!
Thank you also to 13 year old
Kelly Gray who baked and donated a Mississippi Mud Pie for sale on the
stall – it was a sellout!
The event
raised a total of RM1,152 from all sales and donations.
A big thank you to all of you who supported us, especially our tireless
volunteers - Ben, Kym, Fauziah, Jo, Michelle, Roberta, Trish and Yvonne
- who set up and ran the stall on the day.
