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

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!

B) Guidelines
