Adakah NGO (Non-Government Organization) masih relevan pada abad ke 21?? Apa yang NGO buat?? Alah, JKM kan ade, kenapa masih perlu NGO?Ini antara beberapa persoalan yang bermain difikiran aku dahulu kala dan aku rasa orang ramai pun masih memikirkan persoalan ini.Jom kita rungkai persoalan diatas berdasarkan pandangan peribadi aku.NGO (Pertubuhan Bukan Kerajaan) adalah merupakan pertubuhan yang ditubuhkan oleh pihak atau pertubuhan swasta yang tidak mempunyai apa-apa hubungan dengan mana-mana kerajaan. So, basically NGO ni bebas politik.Adakah NGO masih relevan? Yup, pada aku NGO masih relevan & akan terus relevan sampai bila – bila. NGO ditubuhkan untuk mengatasi masalah – masalah social dikala negara sedang pesat membangun. Ianya juga ditubuhkan bertujuan untuk memperjuangkan sesuatu agenda social dimana ianya selalu dipandang enteng oleh masyarakat dek kerana kerakusan mengejar arus permodenan. Contohnya macam nasib serta hak golongan yang kurang bernasib baik.Apa NGO buat? NGO banyak melakukan kerja dibelakang tabir. Senang cakap kerja tak famous. Kerja yang tidak melibatkan keuntungan. Namun setiap kerja yang dilakukan bertujuan untuk memupuk sifat tanggungjawab antara masyarakat disamping melahirkan kesedaran dikalangan masyarakat. Setiap kerja yang dibuat tidak mengharapkan balasan namun berharap ianya dapat memberikan anjakan perubahan kepada sikap, pandangan serta tanggapan masyarakt umum kepada sesuatu masalah social.Contohnya, umum mengetahui bahawa masih terdapat rakyat Malaysia yang hidup dibawah paras kemiskinan. Bayangkan, golongan – golongan ini kekadang makan sehari cuma sekali. Tinggal dirumah usang, tak ada kemudahan asas air & elektrik. Anak – anak terpaksa dinafikan hak pendidikan disebabkan tidak mampu untuk menyediakan kelengkapan persekolahan. Isu – isu ini yang akan NGO akan cuba berikan bantuan. Ada NGO yang berikan bantuan kelengkapan barangan dapur, ada NGO yang menyediakan bantuan pendidikan.Alah, JKM kan ade, kenapa masih perlu NGO? JKM wujud bertujuan untuk membela nasib masyarakat serta golongan yang kurang bernasib baik. Namun, kita perlu sedar bahawa JKM saja tak mampu nak ubah serta bela nasib – nasib golongan yang kurang bernasib baik. Sebaliknya masyarakat patut bersama – sama bersama JKM untuk membela nasib golongan ini. Namun disebabkan sikap enteng & kurang keprihatinan, masyakat sering mengabaikan golongan ini. Bila macam ni, NGO akan back up JKM. Apa yang JKM terlepas pandang, NGO akan cuba berikan bantuan dan salurkan maklumat kepada JKM. Boleh dikatakan NGO & JKM saling melengkapi satu sama lain.Ini cuma pandangan peribadi aku. Next posting kita akan bincang tentang pendidikan dan golongan kurang berkemampuan.

Hello peeps! I'm Shayne from Great Vision Charity Association. I hope you're having a meaningful day like mine aiming to make a positive impact on someone's life :) Speaking of which, join me by donating to this meaningful fundraising campaign which fund will be used in our monthly Rakan Shopping Program and Didik-Kasih EduCare Program.Despite current economical turmoil and uncertainties due to the pandemic, Great Vision has been supporting the less fortunate that wishes to further their studies to the tertiary level. We provide start-up assistance and a monthly allowance to cover their living expenses throughout their studies. Furthermore, this program's main purpose is to give exposure to successful applicants for them to build connections with people from relevant industries. At the same time, building a network when they organise charity activities while learning soft skills such as project management and proposal writing.Moving on to Rakan Shopping Program, we conduct this program on the third Saturday of every month. Cash vouchers will be handed out to 10 underprivileged families for a grocery shopping session with the volunteers. This program is conducted by Great Vision and other associations in a bid to ease the burden of the less fortunate families and influencing members of the public to volunteer for charity events.I am currently fundraising for Great Vision in hopes that the good deeds can continue running as we move forward to 2021. With your kind donation, you are supporting the ambitious students to fight for their future, reduce poverty and provide warm hearty meals for the families under our care. They may not have much as they are working for minimum wage, hence we are doing the best we can to give them a helping hand :)May all of us bask in the gifts life provided, stay healthy and stay safe!

UpdateDear fellow friends, families, and supporters,Thank you to your kind support, I have now managed to reach my fundraising target of RM10,000! I couldn't have made it without your loving and kind support, so a big thank you to all of you whom have supported me. Your donation means a lot to the team here at Great Vision Charity as this will ensure we are able to continue running our 2 main programs to help out underprivileged families and needy students in 2021.That said, our #HarapanMulia campaign target has not ended yet, as the main target is to raise RM500k for Great Vision Charity. For those who are still keen to support our campaign, you may send your love and support to our other fundraisers or to our main campaign here.Thank you once again!Best regards, Yuen____It has been an unforgettable seven years journey for me at Persatuan Harapan Mulia, from planning and setting up the various charity programs, to executing, implementing, and fine tuning each of these programs with my team and colleagues to ensure that they reach out to our target beneficiaries as intended. I have learnt about the plights of the B40 urban poor communities living in various government low cost Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) flats, where half of these low-income families experience being unable to afford sufficient food and with 40% of these households being children, according to a study by UNICEF. That is where our Shopping Buddy program comes in, to provide short-term intervention to end hunger and ensure access by these families in vulnerable situations living in PPR to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food, especially now, more so in our current landscape where we all need to weather both the Covid-19 pandemic and economic uncertainties. While interacting with these families, we also took the opportunity to impart some useful knowledge on good practices in managing their financials.My journey also gave me the chance to interact with a number of tertiary education students from underprivileged backgrounds, where through our Didik-Kasih EduCare program, I have seen some of the students grown from a receiver of aid, to become a giver and role model, inspiring their younger brothers and sisters from various children’s homes to study hard and one day step into an institution of higher learning, graduating from the course of their dreams, and finally contributing back to the society. To see these students being able to conduct charity projects of their own that is usually related to their field of studies, under the guidance of our social workers, and surpassing their own expectations when they have successfully completed their respective charity projects is truly a joy. They have, among others, brought children from various charity homes to places such as the KLIA hangar, Rapid KL LRT depot, and Media Prima’s television studio, with the aim to inspire these children to be in the industry that they are studying for.The blood, sweat, and tears has been worthwhile. But the current Covid-19 pandemic has brought with it many uncertainties that impacted funding to our programs, as well as the target beneficiaries that we are serving. That is why I am now seeking your support to ensure that we can secure enough funds to be able to continue to do the work that we do in serving the needy. Through this crowdfunding effort, I am looking at raising RM10,000.00 for Persatuan Harapan Mulia that goes towards supporting the programs, activities, and needs of the organization. I sincerely hope to be able to garner your support in donating for this initiative, and thereafter share about it to enlist more supporters from your friends and families. Every bit counts!Your support would mean a lot to me, to the team at Persatuan Harapan Mulia, and most of all, to the target beneficiaries that we are supporting via our charity programs.Thank you!Yours sincerely,Yuen Juin Hoe

About Me Hi, my name is Tony. Although working in Great Heart Charity Association’s administrative department, I have also been recently involved in engaging at several social work activities in my sister NGO Great Vision Charity Association. I believe that lending a kindness hand are one of the most important aspects in our life when engaging for the good sake of the society.Rakan Shopping Program The Rakan Shopping (also known as Shopping Buddy Program) is one of my favourite charity work in Great Vision Charity Association so far. The reason I chose to volunteer this program is because it helps one to discover how people living in the underprivileged world look like where many of us rarely take into realization.Every month, Rakan Shopping Program would help at least dozens of low-income underprivileged families living mainly at low-cost flat areas by providing them groceries worth a total of RM100 for a family. The grocery items included basic goods such as rice, flour, cooking oil, beverages, canned food, noodles and so on in order to cope for their basic necessity life suffered due to financial difficulties.Why fundraise? By doing this fundraise, we hope that every single cent donated are highly valuable as they will be funneled through supporting Rakan Shopping Program as well as other related activities within Great Vision Charity Association such as Didik Kasih Edu-Care Program.If you would like to contribute something for the good of society but couldn’t physically volunteer outside, you can start on your own small effort by helping to donate to us! Every single kind donation is much appreciated!
