Eid in Semenyih

The day finally came. We held our Merdeka Raya party at the shelter for old folks and abandoned kids on Wednesday. It was all in the spirit of 1Malaysia as residents and visitors were Malaysians of different cultures and religions. Unity is not a myth after all, especially when we had good company and good food. We hope the relationship forged will be a lasting one.

One for the album....

Some of the lady residents...and a boy.

Getting to know each other better...

Hurry up! Serve the food fast. Everyone's hungry.

I loooove playing with these two.

Uncle Amir spreading more cheers as he gives out Eid money to everyone.

Cheers! Girl power!

Mama's having a heart to heart talk with Uncle Kumar, one of the founders of the shelter.

Angelina's note: Here's my wish list - 1. more pillows for the uncles, 2. wardrobe and cabinets, 3. monthly groceries, 4. monthly toiletries, 5. mind stimulation (board games???). Click here to donate for this shelter. According to the caretaker, Uncle Riyas, the shelter has been registered with the Welfare Department but have yet to receive any funding. purrr....meow!
