Medical Screening

We organised a medical and health screening camp on Sunday, 11th June for 30 children and 5 caregivers of the Rumah Cahaya at Batu Maung.  Two doctors were assisted by volunteers from NED to conduct general health check which included eye vision test, hair lice check and deworming.  Medication and vitamins were also prescribed to those with problems and complaints.  The camp concluded with the serving of a vegetarian lunch for all.

Mother's Day Celebration

We celebrated Mother's Day at the Centre on the evening of 14th May to honour all our centre mothers (and grandmothers!).  A slideshow of old photos taken of our mothers during service
 activities was shown, after which children from four families offered flowers to their mothers and expressed their love and gratitude.  The finale was the cutting of the Mother's Day cake by three senior mothers.
