Sharing what we have this Christmas will give hope to those who need us!

Dear frens,

It’s 4.30am, I woke up reviewing my day yesterday and can’t get back to sleep because I felt so inspired to write to you, to thank you for the years of support for allowing me to successfully bring appeals of humanitarian aid right into your offices, your homes, amidst your busy schedules and on your weekends.

Yesterday, when the opportunity presented itself, I tried a new way of raising funds for the poor. Many were involved. I spent an entire day doing up a slideshow which I think nobody really looked at. We also made exhibition boards the day before, laminated them plus a host of other logistic arrangements like getting permissions from organizers to put up a booth to organizing items we could sell to raise these funds for people in Kenya who have almost nothing.

For this, I also had to inconvenience 2 friends to try to find something last minute for me to sell. Believe it or not, one of them, I had to text him at Mt Tabor during his holidays and he had to text his office staff to set it up for us so we could collect it within hours of the same day. Not forgetting another wonderful set of people who had to drop their plans for the day to race across our island to pick up generously donated chocolates within another 2 hours for us to be ready for yesterday’s sale event.

So yesterday, the day started at 6am and ended at 6pm. We made $1,100 selling chocolates 2@$10. It was hard work. Many were happy at $1,100 but I asked myself what can we buy for $1,100?

We could get 50 or 60 mattresses for the homeless and destitute in Kenya and many will be able to close their eyes in a comfortable bed, forget their troubles for awhile whilst they sleep. I know it would be almost heaven for them to have these necessities that we take for granted in our lives. Many of us jump into our thousands of dollar mattresses quite unhappy every night don’t we? I know I have had my share of those nights.

I want to do more for people who live amongst trash. It is impossible for me to understand how that feels like. Just being in our HDB rubbish shack the other day for a few minutes, I was going to puke needless to say I would surely die if I had to live in one with no hope of escaping from it.. I have to do more for them and I know, we as a whole can do more.

I was thinking of all this now at 4.30am and it dawned upon me what a great gift God has given me…He has made way for his Holy Spirit to constantly work beside me –He gently inspires me to help the poor, He inspires my pen to write and His gift of a group of like-minded friends like you whom I can write to share my passion in helping those who have very little.

I have not done an overseas project for at least a year now, largely concentrating on the poor in Singapore.

So now friends, for this Christmas I bring before you the poor in Kenya, Africa.

For many years, I have seen and heard of the extreme poverty in Africa but it seems so far away and it was not within my reach to help the sick, the hungry, the child and the homeless.

I now know of a trusted catholic priest on the ground that I can work our projects with, to help these poverty stricken brothers and sisters of ours.

So friends would you like to join me to make this Christmas really count for something in the lives of another?

To give a homeless person perhaps a shelter over his head, a hot meal to a child or simple soap to be clean and smelling fresh this Christmas?

If funds allow we can also work towards education of children in poverty and creating lifeline opportunities for work for women with HIV, rejected by their families.

Many of us through the year have made great mental and physical sacrifices to be at the jobs we dislike and even if we love our jobs we have had to sacrifice precious time we would have had with our kids, our wives, our husbands, our parents, our friends to make money so our love ones can have a better life.

Would you like to make all these Sacrifices count for something?

We can make a real difference if together we can build a school or even repair one.

I am envisioning a fund of $10,000 to $20,000 to help the African homeless, destitute, street kids, HIV adults and children build better lives through us in year 2010.

If you feel called to join me in this project, do email me or text me. We are working with Father Conor Donnelly, an Opus Dei priest on the ground in Kenya.

I can as usual consolidate and send our funds to him. If your contribution is large and you would like to send it directly to him that is also ok. I will undertake to ensure that we do the extra mile with these funds sent over. Acknowledgement receipts from Fr. Conor Donnelly for your contributions can arranged if required.

Here's wishing everyone, Merry Christmas and may blessings of the holiday season be upon you.
May the Lord always bless you bountifully for what you are to others in ways big or small.

God Bless,
mill

A blessed year of love and sharing

Dear Frens,

The year 2009 is almost coming to an end. As I look back and review the year that has so quickly gone by, I am filled with awe that we have managed to do quite abit over the year through our Lord's Providence.

We have much to be proud about as friends of Project Kyrie have chosen to do good for the less fortunate brothers and sisters, bit by bit, person by person, project after project throughout the year.


Standing together in our belief that we can make a good difference by doing what we can, when we can, we have dear friends, fed many people through the year and have also given yet others hope and support by being there with our resources, our contacts, our recycled furniture, appliances and most of all our precious time.





I have stopped working for over a year now, anticipating that I would be bored to wits end and return to the workforce to occupy my time but I find myself as busy as ever.

Although, co-ordinating distribution of food, goods and assistance for the poor doesn't pay in money but I find my life now blessed and filled with the riches of knowing so many wonderful people with pure hearts of gold.

For the year gone by, we wish to thank businesses like Woh Hup, Angliss, Nanric, The Garden Slugs, Delhi Restaurant, CreativeEateries, Hup Lee Fried Bee Hoon, Ivisual, Salvation Army, Melwani, Gap International, Bike Haus, One Singapore an many others who have partnered us and given their generous support to help the poor.










Kyrie Kitchen has also been a success with no little effort to many big hearted donors and individuals who cook, drive and distribute the food to the poor.
Here we wish to thank Grace Seah, Jenny, Mable Yong,Margaret Goh, Celine, Radia, Valerie Yeo, Lucy Teo, Susan Lee, June Chan, Sumi Bharvani, Vandy Kapoor, Shenaz, Stella, Julie, Clifford Tan, Mark Foo & friends, James, Raja, Walter & Manya from UK, Dom, Nick Aw, Shaun Chan, Joseph Tan, Sally Tan, Tara Melwani, Alina Sim, Benson Leaow, William Ngang, Julianna Foo, Debbie See, Joanne Goh, Jacinta Kong, Sammy Lee, Felicia Cheng, Pey Woan, Anthony Wong, Sweet Woon & Kok Hiang, Susanna Kang, Corinne Cheok, Mok Sauk Soo, Iris Lim, Philip Wee, Emily Tan, Stephanie Salay, Dr Priscilla Lee and last but not least Rosalind Tan for heading the cooking team and Paul Raj for his limitless love for the poor in distributing food rations and extending support to individual families who need our help in Singapore.
There are many many others who have done so much for the poor and is not mentioned here. We wish them and their families abundant blessings for Christmas and the year ahead.
Here's Wishing Everyone a Truely Blessed Christmas and a Fantastic New Year!

God Bless,

Project Kyrie Partners Standard Chartered to Recycle Office Furniture for the Poor

We wish to thank Standard Chartered Bank for partnering us to support education for the poor in their donation of 3o training chairs and a sofa set.


Project Kyrie has allocated this donation for use at FMM House, where Philipino maids are trained in a variety of new skills to build up life giving opportunities when they return home after working in Singapore.


When furniture is recycled for the poor, the time and labour of man also lives on to serve and profit in the goodness of human kind.


God hath given to man a short time here upon earth, and yet uponthis short time eternity depends.
-- Jeremy Taylor

Dear Frens,

Yes, we made it past the 1st month! We have fed 700 people twice in August 09! \o/\o/\o/

Kyrie Kitchen aims to serve delicious hot home-cook meals that money cannot buy.

This project is wonderful, not only because the poor had food but it has allowed me to witness the solidarity of love & humanity that so many people have in their hearts for the poor.

The amount of individual effort it has taken to feed these 1400 people in this August '09 is truely inspiring to me.

We have cooks waking up as early as 5.30am, volunteers coming in just to pack the food in between running their own personal errands.

So many individuals took the effort to take time off their busy schedules to personally buy rice, fruits, pepper, oil and lug it to my house. Many also supported with their business connections and friends to supply food items and ingredients.

Even market uncles and aunties whom my mother patronised for years jumped in the bandwagon to contribute their share to the poor where they can.

Others shared their business kitchens to donate their own share of food to bless the poor. Charity groups like blessing in a bag, willing hearts, kitchen agape, St Ignatius's St. Vincent de Paul & Salvation Army sent in their resources to give clothes to the migrant workers and offered help and equipment in setting up the kitchen.

Still others, rush from work in their office outfits and leather shoes with their cars, MPVs and vans that they kindly begged, borrowed or stole from their friends to transport the food and fruits.

Many, many friends who have not been able to join us operationally have made generous personal contributions to fund the effort. Last but the least, the prayer support we have received from friends all over the world which we cannot do without.

It's so heartening to know that so many people will give so selflessly to people whom they do not know.

Let's pray, that these acts of kindness will have the effect of having others pass it forward, making this world a better place to live in.

God Bless,
Mill
Charity can be recognized as an authentic expression of humanity and as an element of fundamental importance in human relations, including those of a public nature. Only in truth does charity shine forth, only in truth can charity be authentically lived. - Pope Benedict XVI

Kyrie Kitchen will be launched on 6 August 2009!

Dear frens,

God has blessed Kyrie Kitchen with abundance and mercy!
We wish to thank all friends of Project Kyrie for responding with boundless generosity!

Everything we needed for the launch, we have received to the finest detail.

Because of you, we are able to launch Kyrie Kitchen to serve the poor and the hungry today.

This is indeed a concerted effort of Project Kyrie’s community of friends. A solidarity of love, care and concern for the poor who live amongst us.

On behalf of the poor...

1) Thank you so much for providing the resources and equipment to set up the kitchen in just a few days.

2) Thank you for your monthly pledges of rice, chicken, vegetable, pepper, salt, sauces, peas, fruits and other food items. Every bag of rice, every plate of food served will go a long way in helping the poor.

3) Thank you for contributing to other ingredients for which we had to buy.

4) Thank you for volunteering to prepare, cook, pack, drive and distribute the food.

5) Thank you to restaurants and individuals for adding more meals to our effort so that we will not need to turn away the hungry.

6) Thank you to all, for taking time and effort to contact your network of friends to join in this mission.This is the vision of Project Kyrie coming alive.

7) Thank you also to friends for collaborating with us to distribute used clothes and brand new Croc s sandals.

And.... How does 200 hot meals become 1700 meals within a week?

My 73 year old mother stepped up and said ‘yes’ to feeding the poor and the hungry.

Her desire and courage was only for 200 packs of hot meals twice a month.

A tidal wave of kindness for the poor have swept through this project. Before my mother cooks her 1st hot meal today, we have received monthly pledges from restaurants and individuals to provide vegetable curries and nasi lemak.
A total of 500 extra meals. 200 + 500 = 700 hot meals

One of the locations, we will be serving tomorrow is the blue star dormitory, where 5000 low-waged and under privileged foreign immigrants are living.

Usually many will be turned away hungry when the hot meals run out. A kind and wonderful donor has stepped up to provide 1000 packets of Maggie
noodles meal, every time we distribute food for the poor for a year. These would be given to sustain the hungry who would otherwise be turned away without food. So that’s a total of 700 + 1000 = 1700 meals!

\o/\o/\o/ Praise God! He has multiplied our 5 loaves and 2 fishes! He is indeed a God of love, mercy and faithfulness!

Last but not least, we need your continuous support to allow this mission to grow and continue in the years to come.

2 friends who blessed others with their resources today!
* Thien Tat Awnings & Co, HUB distributors Services

Job Done! 15ft by 9ft shade - Fits perfectly into the truck!

We wish to Thank Mr Leow, Steven and Christian Tew for rising unhesitantly to the occasion in helping our less priviledged brothers and sisters. Their skills and their kindness is indeed inspiring.

Today, I witnessed the core values and vision of Project Kyrie coming into life yet again. We do not need to leave our jobs in order to do charity and good works for our neighbours. We need to be exactly where we are and say 'Yes' when our skills, our connections or our resources for the poor are needed.

Today an almost impossible task was made possible so that Emmanual Christian Home can have a gigantic shade to conduct their activites. It would have been easiest to just throw away the shade then to recycle and bless others with this useful shelter.

Praise God indeed for creating this community of friends in Project Kyrie. Friends who stand together in solidarity for the poor.

We, who take this road as many have before us, will experience a joy unsurpassed.

If no poor could be found in the world, men ought to go in search of them, and dig them up from underground, the slums or the ghetto, to do them good, and to be merciful to them. - Saint Camillus de Lellis (1550-1641)

Blessings In A Pot! A testimony of God's mercy & faithfulness!

Dear Frens,

good news, Good News, GOOD NEWS!

Kyrie Soup Kitchen is born!

Some of you may know that my father has recently passed away and my mum was devastated. Just 3 weeks ago she was saying that her life is over and she wants God to take her home.

She kept in prayer, she held on to our Lord, and many friends have been praying for her and with her.

Few days ago, she just came to me and said she will devote her excellent cooking skills to feed the poor!

This is indeed a testimony of God's Power, Mercy and Faithfulness. God has delivered her from darkness in an instant!


Thank you very much to all my friends at Praise@Work for their healing prayers, also to the Canossian and Don Bosco sisters and all other friends who have kept my family in prayers during our trial.

Kyrie Soup Kitchen will target to serve their 1st meal on 6th August 2009. If you have the desire to feed the poor please join us in this effort to feed the poor and to bring glory to God \o/\o/\o/

We need volunteers for cooking, cutting vegetables, packing of food, drivers with car boots or vans, food distributors, monthly rice, vegetables, sauces, meats and a large fridge and anything that can be used to set up this outdoor kitchen at my house.

We will for a start cook about 60 to 80 kg of rice for about a total of 400 people. We are located opposite the church of Ignatius along King's Rd. All are welcomed to help :)

To contact me, my hp is 96956267 .

Prayer is indeed exhaling the spirit of man and inhaling the spirit of God!

Helping others get a second chance!

Dear Frens,

I recently came to know a friend Kryst whilst distributing the many denim jeans we had to the poor.

He has been helping brothers who have fallen into crime. He assimilates these men back into society by helping them get a job and housing them till they get back on their feet again.

He is at present housing about 15 men and is moving from his HDB flat to a new rented house in Punggol so that he is able to help more people with a larger place.

Frens, I feel giving someone a second chance is indeed a worthy cause. Many a times we ourselves wish we can be given a second chance at doing things right...right?

They have seeked help from us to help them set up their new home.
Let's bond together and do our best to help them. What better way for us to show that we have God in our hearts than to help our neighbours?

As Martin Luther says:

What is it to serve God and to do His will? Nothing else than to
show mercy to our neighbour. For it is our neighbour who needs our
service; God in heaven needs it not.

-- Martin Luther

Dear frens,

Working to assist the poor makes me realise more acutely that I have never been hungry a day in my life..

I feel so blessed that every meal I have had in my life, have been a time for celebration with friends, a time for celebration with love ones & family.

People who know me will know that eating is always a joyous time for me. What they don't know is, the more I enjoy my food, the more I feel a pain in my heart when I see people go hungry.

Some people have so little that even feeding themselves & their kids have become a problem. This is especially true these days, when people hold huge debts to banks and have lost their jobs.

Mother Theresa have always been an inspiration to me. She fed millions of people who had nothing. She also did it with nothing but faith and a desire in her heart to feed all who came to her.

When Willing Hearts approached Project Kyrie for a refrigerated container to feeze food,I felt compelled take this project to our network of friends.

I could see Willing Hearts enlarging their mission to cook & feed for more than 1200 people a day. I saw a way for us to make the difference to those who are now hungry and struggling in our midst. With a refrigerator, a huge 20 foot one, more food could be collected & stored, less food would be wasted.

It is indeed God's grace & mercy that we have a good friend, who with an angelic force of swiftness found, organised & donated this refriegerated 20 ft container in just one day..

I wish to give special thanks for the generous & quick response of Kek Beng, Wllie Goh & friends for making this new outreach possible. It is without doubt that many will be less hungry today because of our brother's great spirit of generosity & solidarity with our less fortunate brothers & sisters.

I am so awed that when God moves, you see the Power of God's love rippling through the hearts of men.

God Bless,
Mill

Project Kyrie could not have done it without you!

Dear Frens,

Since I started exploring more deeply into mission work in 2004, I believe it's a journey which many will find difficult to turn back from.

When the heart is willing, God will show so much, of not only what is needed for his Kingdom but also provide a world of opportunities to keep us contributing. I can attest that, it is truely in giving that we gain.

I am deeply grateful to all friends of Project Kyrie. Without your constant support for the poor, we will not be able to help people who need our assistance near or far.

Our network of friends have been growing year to year, the quickness and generosity of donors who respond to the various calls of needs presented to us, friends of Project Kyrie, fills me with a grateful heart. My walk in doing mission will continue as long as friends of Project Kyrie find it a good way to make a difference in the lives of others, as and when they can, when a request for help comes in to us.

As Scott Adams say : there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a riple with no logical end. It is along this line of thinking that we hope to bring not only opportunities, comfort and love to the poor but also make the world a slightly kinder place for those who are having a hard time.

You will see from the updates of our activities we have since the end of 2008, been reaching out to the poor amongst us in Singapore. Activities include distributing of food and goods surpluses in Singapore to NGOs and individuals who need them for the work they do here and abroad. We have become a distribution portal for some retailers and businesses. We wish to thank these businesses for their constant support of clothes, food, toys and household items.

Quite by accident, Project Kyrie has also started Kyrie Home Projects. We came across a few local families with nothing or very little in their flats. Requests to provide used furniture went out to our network of friends and the result has been amazing! God is good. We have now managed not only to create empty flats of poor families into comfortable homes but have also partnered NGOs to furnish their centres to help the under priviledged with our excesses.






So thank you, one and all for your trust, participation and generosity. We truely could not have done so much or continue to do more without you!

God Bless,

Partnering Beyond Services in making a child's dream come true!

Dear Frens,


Thank you for spending a whole Saturday making a child happy.


I believe the happy smile of this child when he comes home to a clean house and seeing his favourite cartoon on the wall is worth more than a thousand prayers and praises to God.


May God bless you all abundantly for all your love and effort!


Special thanks to artists Shannon, Cheney, Debbie and Mark Foo for the paints. Also many thanks to Paul Raj and friends for cleaning the whole home so thoroughly.

Partnering Local Retailers to bring blessing to the poor

Local Retailers with Big Hearts!


We wish thank two big fashion retailers for blessing the poor with 3 container load of jeans and tops! That amounts to approximately 40,000 pieces of clothing.


Our friends in retail, could have simply sold the goods but they CHOSE to bless people who have close to nothing.


It warms my heart knowing that these gifts generate more that just warmth of clothing for the poor. I have witnessed the bonding of friends with a common mission, the joy that comes from giving, new friendships made and the endless growth of opportunities and resources that is coming through to help more of our under priviledged brothers and sisters.


The goods have been sent either hand-carried by individuals or sent by sponsored containers to so many countries and so many places.


I am indeed awed at the numbers of God's selfless angels who have spent time and great effort to bring these gift of love to strangers across lands.


These 40,000 pieces of clothing will touch the hearts of those who will receive it, shirt by shirt, jean by jean in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philipines, Malaysia and even some to the really poor in Singapore.


Special thanks to JRS, the Canossians, FCAP (pilots) , 5Cs (cabin crew), St Vincent de Paul( St Anthony's Church), Pastor Robert Liu, World Federation of Catholic Medical Association, Kek Beng & his men at SH Cogent Logistics, Low Siew Kiang (Firefly Mission), Tara Melwani, Julia Wong (GAP Int'l )..and all friends who participated.

God Bless and Thank You everyone for your hardwork and contribution for this humantarian effort.

Yours in Christ,

Distribution of blankets to the poor...

Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a riple with no logical end.-- Scott Adams

Dear Frens,

Thank you to all for responding to my sms on 'Lets hit the ground running... to help the remote hill villages in Thailand hit by the sudden extreme cold weather.

Temperatures dropped to 2 deg c in northern parts of the country.
The small villagers located on the mountains have report temperature reaching as low as minus 3 degrees in one mountain.

In 2 days, we managed to pull together funds to buy about 400 blankets @ $5 each ($2000). I will still be consolidating funds for anyone who would still like to contribute for the next 2 days. Do keep the blankets coming in for the hill tribes around Phetchabun; Thailand.

Let's pray everyone, before we jump into our warm beds tonight that somehow, some way these 400 blankets will bring warmth, life and hope to those who use it. Let's also thank God for all the blessings we have right here, right now, that we have so often taken for granted.

May God's peace and blessings be upon you for all the kindness you have shown so unhesitatingly for the poor.

Many thanks Shayli, Chris Emma Lee, Susie, Kathleen Lee, Brandon Ong, Katherine Chua, Pamela Kwan, Rebecca Soh, YM Wong, Jennifer Chan, Arthur Kang, Tan Guek Hong, Christopher Wong, Jocelyn Wong, Sarah Raman, Paul Raj, Peter Twang, Alice Fu , Nicholas Lim, Robert Tay, Kazim Reza, Sharoniel,Paula Marcondez,Shan Ng, Julie Ng,Aloysius Wong, and some anonymous angels

Project Kyrie Partners Radion International

Dear frens,

Thank you for everyone's generous contribution towards securing the freight of this 40ft container of hope and love to people who have been almost been forgotten.

This 40ft container will be filled with food staples and clothing for the street kids, hmong refugees and mountain tribes in Phetchabun; Thailand.





Most of us are too busy with our daily work and families to be on the ground to take care and give opportunities to the poor. Thus when friends who are willing to offer their lives to people who will otherwise be forgotten, our support from where we are, is indispensable.


It is only when we stand together as a community of friends with the same vision to assist our unprivileged brothers and sisters that we will make a difference so large that it cannot be ignored.


Goodness will only beget Goodness, Kindness will always beget Kindness. The ripples of blessings we consistently send out, I believe will cumulate into waves of blessings to all, through which the greatness of God's love and mercy will be seen in full Glory.


Special thanks Aloysius Wong, Dinesh, Mark Thong, Judy Flemming,Ng Chay Hua, Christopher Wong for responding so quickly and generously to funding this container to the poor in Thailand.


The total cost of shipment is estimated at $3,000. We have now secured the cost for the leg of shipment from Singapore to BKK. Pls email or contact me if you feel called to support this shipment as I am still consoldating the funds.


Many friends are also ready to contribute clothes and food to be put into the container on the word GO!


Below are the details of this shipment:

A) Items needed:

1 ) Dry/Canned food items (Staples or meat items with at least 3 months towards expiry date)

2 ) Used clothes, blankets, jackets (Washed and in good condition)

3 ) Hygiene Items (Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap)

4 ) Medical/Pharmaceutical items (first aid kits/gloves/masks/bandages)

5 ) New Stationary/Educational Materials (Drawing blocks, coloring books, coloring pencils/crayons)

6 ) Electronics/Technology Items (Solar Panels, Water filtration systems, torch lights, batteries)

7 ) Foam sleeping mattresses

8 ) Baby clothes/Nursery Items (Feeding bottles, etc etc)

B) Guidelines

• Pls pack into generic boxes or bags to minimise sorting and label it!


• Pls ensure items donated are in good condition as the container is very costly.


• Where possible indicate you are from Project Kyrie


• If you are intending to buy alot of dry food it would be more prudent to give cash so that the goods can be bought cheaper from Thailand. Receipts and acknowledgements will be given by Radion Intenational if handed through Project Kyrie


• Most importantly, we need connections with distributors or manufacturers who can give food staples, children's items and clothings for free.


• Please note that we will NOT BE COLLECTING TOYS, as thisis a humanitarian relief shipment for only necessities.


• Note some of the items which are not relevant for shipment may be sold off to raise funds for food and other necessary items to be purchased in Thailand for the poor.
  

C) Time lines and drop off location

• Shipment is targeted to leave in 3rd week of Feb 09


• 6-7 Feb(Sat & Sun), 0900-1800 Collection Drive @ 1 Centralised Location ( Location TBC)
