Dear All,
Sometimes academic achievement doesn't neccessarily reflect or represent who you are.
Just be yourself and do the things you enjoy..that's all it matters.

Blogger's Helping Hand Part 3: the Children at the Penang Shan Children’s Home Association
"Happiness doesn't result from what we get,
but from what we give." -Ben Carson
Reposted Report:
Penang, 3rd February 2013 —
About 40 bloggers and public visited the Penang Shan Children’s Home
Association to distribute food, beverages and gadgets, sponsored by various
commercial entities. It’s a philanthropic exercise not only by businesses in
executing their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) but by everyone to give
back to the society, thus making life more bearable for everyone in need. The
event is made possible by Crowdpot Sdn Bhd (Event Organizer), Ninetology
Malaysia, SUBWAY® (Suntech, iAvenue, &
Leith Street branches), Chatime Malaysia, Langkawi Saga Travel & Tours Sdn.
Bhd. and Alextan Artworks.
Penang Shan
Children’s Home (PSCH) began as a dream and initiative of Dr. S Balakrishnan in
the year 2005. This is a non-religious and a non-profit, non-governmental
organization catering to the needs of orphans, neglected children,
dysfunctional families and single parents. The home was built and officially
launched on 14th December 2008 by Madam Chan Siew Har. PSCH’s mission is to
maximize the attractive opportunities that are stored in the children; to make something
happen; to change the ways that things are and to create something that no one
else has ever created before for the children, to explore for opportunities; to
provide guidance and course correction; maintaining focus on being consistent
and persistent. The objectives are both short and on a long term basis. The
short term objective is to provide all the children with a safe and supportive
environment. The focus will be on the development of physical, mental,
emotional, educational, social and recreational skills that will create
awareness to structure and mould the child’s future. The longer term
development includes the options that are available for the child’s future, supporting
them to complete the tertiary education preferably to University level. For
those who are unable to complete the basic education, they would be trained in
developing their skills by educating them in skill training centers. Through
home visits and working with parents, they would like to ensure that eventually
the child is reunited with his/her family thus becoming the backbone of the
family.
