The Heavenly Gift 2011

After about twenty days of the booth at IOI Mall, it's finally the day for the gift giving! Not just to the orphanages, but also to the poor families! This Christmas, we gave away providence for about eighty families!

These are the gift packs that we'd spent a week purchasing, sorting and wrapping. Big thanks to Chee Wei and Agape and the buying team for putting these all together. There were at least two days, the team stayed up till past midnight just to get things ready.

Early morning on Dec 24th, we gathered at Tesco Puchong to pay and load the groceries to the lorry. Although there were some delay at Tesco, we were still able to make it in time and ended an hour ahead of time due to the efficiency of the people!


Upon arrival at the hall, we started with a quick briefing and straight on to making boxes and sorting out the groceries into each box.


Many volunteers came and lend a helping hand, making work light!

The Project Manager of The Heavenly Gift is Sharon, under the supervision of Pr Timothy. Chris is the lead in relates to the community, Mei Fung is the lead pertaining to the booth at IOI Mall and Agape is the lead in regards to purchasing. And of course we were assisted by many many many volunteers!


The volunteers even help to carry it all the way up to the families' apartment unit.








The Heavenly Gift 2011 has ended and we are the midst of consolidating accounts but Food Bank will be starting for the next twelve months and we hope that through the Financial Literacy Class, more and more families learns about financial freedom and able to walk out of the way of poverty. Once more, a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you that had chipped in in any way. We wouldn't have done it without you.
