We do what we do because we can! - Teaching others how to fish..

Dear Frens,

Having run Project Kyrie since 2004, I have truly enjoyed myself meeting so many nice people out there who really care so much for people who are less privileged than themselves.

They will do many uncomfortable things like waiting in the sun, driving a pick up in the rain, hauling boxes of useful items for the needy, extend their patience beyond their normal limits, ask for a favor from a person they hardly know from their personal network to help people they have never met so that they may enjoy that one good meal or to give that moment of hope to another.

To all these everyday heros, I say a big thank you. There is nothing ordinary about you, for your heart has a beauty beyond words.

We, Project Kyrie believe in teaching people how to fish so those living in poverty may help themselves, their family and their friends for a lifetime. Education is a priority for us and this November 2012, we friends of Project Kyrie have come together yet again and given opportunities to youths from Don Bosco in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to further their educational experiences.

Because you have searched high and low for laptops in your homes, from friends and given generously for this project we have managed to set up a research corner cum a social enterprise internet cafe at Don Bosco Vocational School for the second year students to hone their business skills learnt at school. This will help them tremendously by developing their business acumen and also giving students an internet corner to learn from the world wide web.

We collected 9 laptops, 2 of which are brand new and generously sponsored by Declan Crowe and Arthur Shu.

Many thanks also to Peggy Zee, Henry Yee, Maureen Chan, Susanna Kang, Elizabeth Ho, Bob and Florence Komaran, Frederick Foo, Timothy Wong and to Andy Lim for putting in his efforts to repair the laptops for us.

Last but not least to the very generous and God-empowered couple Daniel and Helena Ong for carrying up the first 4 laptops to Cambodia and in assisting to buy 2 brand new HP laptop at a super price.

Thank you also to Dr John Lee who will assist to carry the balance of the laptops to Phnom Penh in December for us.

Without everybody's effort and plenty of running around, this project would not have been possible.

May our Good God, bless you all abundantly as you have blessed the poor that HE so loves!

God Bless,
Mill
