Argen and Cindy – love for the children

Argen and Cindy making donation to the Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Children Centre Melaka

My friends, Argen and Cindy told me that they and their friends were interested to make contribution and visit the Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Children Centre Melaka in Bukit Baru. They had been requesting me to make an arrangement for the past few weeks however I was busy to do so.

Last Sunday I had a break in the afternoon of my work and it came to my mind to visit the centre. So I rang Argen and Cindy and they agreed to join and at the same time they notified their friends to ask for contribution. Such a last-minute arrangement surprisingly Argen and Cindy managed to collect an amount of RM130.55 from their friends. They just wanted to help the less fortunate ones. Moreover, Argen and Cindy put in further effort by dashing to the shops to purchase the goods such as cooking oil, rice, eggs, etc. (RM 198.55) for donation before we met.

When we arrived we were greeted by the nurse of the centre, Amy. We wanted to visit Mocheng, however she was moved to the hospital. We were told that Mochang was recovering from the bedsores but didn’t want to consume any food. She had to be transferred to the hospital for treatment or else she would suffer from denutrition. Worrying of Mocheng, Amy goes to the hospital to visit her everyday.

Then we met George. He was happy to see us especially with Cindy and vise versa. The hyperactive triplet were there too, naughty and lively as usual. Boy-boy was in the baby crib looking healthy but shy. There were also some new comers in the centre now. Everyone was happy to see us; they kept holding our hands, trying to communicate and play with us. Yet there were so many sad stories hidden behind their bright and thankful smiles.

Thanks to Argen and Cindy for inviting me to the centre. We would like to thank Cindy’s colleagues for their kindness and support, and hope that they could join us for the next visit. Too, Perry Gan couldn’t make it to this trip but he had invited us to centre again. So we are looking forward for the next visit as every visit meants so much to the patients.

Share some shots I took for this trip. May all beings be happy.
