School Bags for Underprivileged Students in Malaysia | |
Description: | Dear Rotary eClub One Members, I am excited to introduce you to a meaningful humanitarian project spearheaded by the Rotary Clubs of Malaysia (YKKRM: Yayasan Kelab-Kelab Rotary Malaysia or The Foundation of the Rotary Clubs of Malaysia). This project has the potential to involve approximately 100 Rotary clubs in Malaysia. One of the key requirements for us to participate in this incredible opportunity is a minimum club contribution of $250. This contribution will solidify our club's status as a participant in this noble initiative. To make our entry into this project smoother and more inclusive, I propose that we share the initial amount required, specifically the $250, among our club members. I am personally committed to contributing $50 towards this amount. The remaining $200 will be divided among the other members, reducing the financial burden on individual participants. By collectively contributing, we will make this endeavor our club's project. If the club accepts this proposal, I am more than willing to take the lead in representing us and distributing school bags to underprivileged students in schools that will be confirmed in due course. It's important to note that the previously mentioned $250 is the minimum contribution, and any amount above this would be equally appreciated and put to good use in this endeavor. |

Bag2School Project 10,000 Smiles 2024 | |
We are excited to share the success of our recent involvement in the Bag2School Project 10,000 Smiles 2024, also known as the Malaysia School Bags Project 2024. This initiative was a collaborative effort between Rotary eClub One, Yayasan Kelab-Kelab Rotary Malaysia (YKKRM), and 62 Rotary clubs from Districts 3300 and 3310. Our club actively participated in this project, represented by our member, Mir Atta Muhammad Talpur, based in Melaka, Malaysia. We are proud to have contributed US$1,000 towards this impactful endeavor. The project aimed to support deserving school children from low-income families and orphans in the region. Working closely with the Rotary Club of Kota Melaka, we identified beneficiary children across four schools and successfully distributed 200 school bags to those in need. The distribution took place at the following schools: - SK Limbongan, Melaka – 60 bags distributed on 5 February 2024 - SK ACS Methodist, Melaka – 54 bags distributed on 5 February 2024 - SR Arab JAIM, Merlimau – 40 bags distributed on 7 February 2024 - SK Bandar Hilir, Melaka – 46 bags distributed on 7 February 2024 The distribution was executed in the presence of teachers and three Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Kota Melaka, accompanied by Mir Atta Muhammad Talpur representing Rotary eClub One. This project exemplifies our club's commitment to making a positive impact in our community. We are proud to have brought smiles to 200 deserving school children and remain dedicated to furthering our mission of service above self. Thank you for your continued support and interest in our club's initiatives. Together, we can truly make a difference. |
