Penang,
3rd February 2013 — About 40 bloggers and public the Children’s Protection
Society to distribute food, beverages and gadgets, sponsored by various
commercial entities. It’s a philanthropic exercise not only by businesses in
executing their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) but by everyone to give
back to the society, thus making life more bearable for everyone in need. The
event is made possible by Crowdpot Sdn Bhd (Event Organizer), Ninetology Malaysia, SUBWAY® (Suntech, iAvenue, & Leith Street branches), Chatime Malaysia, Langkawi Saga Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd. and Alextan Artworks.
The
Children’s Protection Society (CPS) began as an initiative of Dato’ Nazir Ariff
when he was President of the Rotary Club in Penang (1991). It is a non-profit,
non-governmental organization catering to the needs of neglected and/or
abandoned children in Penang. It was officially launched in April 1992 by Puan
Sri Chua Kah Peng. The objectives of CPS are both immediate and longer-term.
The immediate objective is to provide children at risk with a safe, supportive
and conducive environment (Shelter). Their concerned and focused areas include
the emotional and physical development, education, social and recreational
skills.
At the same time, CPS aims to work with parents and other family
members, so that the child can eventually be reunited with his/her family. In
the pipeline, they hope to support projects to enhance community-based
facilities for childcare and development in areas where such facilities are
lacking. They also try to promote a more general awareness of the issues
relating to children at risk by being involved in training and discussions.
Hence they work together with various government and non-government organizations
to help to develop longer-term strategies and goals.
How
to help Children’s Protection Society?
1.
Become a Volunteer: http://www.cpspg.org.my/webpages/help.html
Learning and Tuition is always needed - many of our children
have missed a substantial amount of school due to their backgrounds, and often
find it difficult to catch up with school work. If you are prepared for the
extra challenges which many of our children face, and are prepared to commit a
regular time a week (can be anything from an hour up).
