Update 2: Thank you all donors for making it possible to reach my targeted RM20k in funds raised for the #HarapanMulia campaign. As pledged, I have made a 10km run to mark the occasion, and completed the run at 1:12:10, in a little over an hour. Although tiring and feeling the muscle soreness now, the run has been worthwhile as with the funds contributed from my campaign, it means that we are RM20k closer in reaching the main campaign goal of raising RM450k to enable Great Vision Charity to continue its intended programs in 2023 to serve the needy. The main #HarapanMulia campaign is not over yet, so for those who would still like to extend your much-needed kind and generous support, please feel free to do so. Thank you!Update 1: Thank you for all your support which enable me to reach my fundraising target. However, as the #HarapanMulia 2022 Fundraiser has yet to reach its target, I will continue my fundraiser to try and reach RM20,000 in funds raised. If I am able to reach RM20k, I will be making a 10km run to mark the occasion. So, looking forward to receiving your support!..................................................................................................................The past 2 years has been a wild and emotional ride for many of us. It has been a period of both loss and also gain. We initially loss our freedom of movement, and restrictions to the way that we normally do things. But from the loss comes new ideas and approaches to move forward, growing and learning along the way from the steep learning curve, as how it has to be. As the saying goes, life finds a way and life goes on.From a personal perspective, we changed the approach on how we do things, from the need to be physically presence to reach out to our targeted beneficiaries, to become the hands and feet of our beneficiaries when they are restricted in their movements to within their housing compound. This was what happened for our Shopping Buddy program, where from initially bringing out the urban poor families and accompanying them to get their household groceries, we have now adapted to getting the list of needed groceries from each families by way of phone call, and going to the hypermarket to shop for the list of requested items before sending it over to the families, so that the needs of the underserved are still taken care of even when their movements are restricted. We even increased the number of supported families every month during this period, seeing the high number of families affected by the pandemic and economic uncertainties, from the initial 10 families per month, to a high of 80 families per month during the peak of the pandemic. We are now averaging 20 families per month this year for the Shopping Buddy program, hoping that the little assistance that was provided will at least alleviate the burden of the families, some of which are single mothers, working a few jobs to make a living so that they could feed their young children.On the positives side, it also heartens me that despite all the challenges the pandemic and lockdown are affecting our lives, some of the students under our Didik-Kasih EduCare program have continued to progress well in their studies. One who is majoring in Fine Arts had just completed his impressive artwork exhibition recently, while another is expected to be completing his aircraft maintenance technician license program by year end.We will not have been able to extend our support and services to all the beneficiaries under our care without the kind support and donations from our generous donors, such as yourself. It is undeniable that the economic uncertainties had certainly affected some of our existing donors’ capability to continue their support to us financially. We are also unable to conduct large scale physical fundraisers with the limitations. Thus, with the new norm, we have been adapting to the online crowdfunding method so that we will be able to have the funds necessary to continue running our range of charity programs and projects. With crowdfunding, everyone is able to support our programs, with as little or as much as they would like to, from the comfort of their own home.That is why I will be acting as one of the fundraisers to raise RM13,000.00 in support of the #HarapanMulia fundraiser so that Great Vision Charity Association will get to continue running our charity programs without disruption in 2023. I hope to be able to garner your warm and generous support, as we strive to inspire and empower less fortunate people via education and awareness, so that the underprivileged groups under our care will recognise their potential, and go from being takers to givers.Thank you for taking time to read my write up, and hoping to gather your much needed crucial support.Warm regards,Yuen

Hi，我是Jeff Tan，目前也正在帮忙一起响应Great Vision Charity Association的众筹计划。这次众筹所得的善款都会用于Great Vision Charity Association在2023年的运营及慈善项目。我本身也从事了慈善社工2年的时间，走访了无数个弱势群体的家庭，我真的认为“教育”是其中一个能够真正改变他们家庭命运的东西。我们无法永远的帮助他们，但是如果能够给予他们受教育的机会，他们以后都能够靠自己去生活甚至过得更加的好。因此，比起帮助他们一些物质上的东西，我始终觉得给予他们教育的机会会是更好的选择。以上也是我响应Great Vision Charity Association的众筹计划的原因，因为这个NGO所着重的其中一个慈善项目”Didik-Kasih EduCare Program”就是专门提供助学金给来自弱势群体家庭的大学生。我也希望在这次的众筹计划中，尽一份微薄之力帮忙凑得RM3,000的善款。如果成功达成目标的话，我也会去挑战自己完成投进1000颗中距离篮球！希望大家能够一起来帮助来自弱势家庭的孩子获得受教育的机会。 Hi, my name is Jeff Tan, I'm currently helping out with the Great Vision Charity Association's crowd funding program. The funds raised from this crowd funding will be used for the operation and charity projects of the Great Vision Charity Association in 2023.I have been engaged in charity social work for 2 years and have visited countless families of underprivileged groups. I really think that "education" is one of the things that can really change the fate of their families. We can't help them forever, but if we can give them the opportunity to be educated, they will be able to live on their own and even better in the future. Therefore, rather than helping them with something physically, I always felt that giving them the opportunity to educate would be a better choice.The above is also the reason why I responded to the crowd funding program of the Great Vision Charity Association, because one of the charitable program that this NGO focuses on is named "Didik-Kasih EduCare Program". This program is to provide financial aid to college students from underprivileged families.I also hope that in this crowd funding project, I can help to raise a donation of RM3,000. If successful, I will challenge myself to make 1,000 field-goal of mid-range basketballs!I hope that everyone can work together to help children from underprivileged families gain access to education. 

Call me Wei San 😊I believed in what goes around comes around. I care about people around me and I wished I could use my time and effort to make everyone around me a little happier every day. I try my hardest to do the right thing and give back when I should. This has brought me to an act of giving back to the society. The society had done so much for me and I took so much pride in where I came from, now is my turn to spread the love and care to the society.I am currently fundraising for Great Vision in hopes to light up the lives of even more underprivileged individuals that are fighting for their future. Join me by donating to this meaningful campaign and show your support to our beloved beneficiaries ❤️

在我6年的慈善之路上，我看过了好多，好多的贫穷家庭。很多人很喜欢问我两个问题:1) 为什么你要做慈善？ 2) 什么原因导致这么多人穷苦至需要慈善的帮忙？老实说，我并没有很伟大或感人的原因去选择加入慈善社工这条路，纯粹以一个很单纯的心，想要从事一份真心可以去帮助真正的贫困人士的工作，可以接触到他们再帮到他们，感觉很有意义，就一直这样做了6年对于为什么这么多人会生活在困境里，我有一个听起来很玄的答案，但是的的确确是非常真实的，那就是 “教育”！ 在我们帮助的贫穷家庭里，很多父母都是从事比较低收入的工作（清洁工人，厂工，散工）等等。他们很想要给与一个好教育给他们的孩子，给他们去补习，上大学等等，可是经济上的他们根本没办法做到，所以孩子们的成绩都是平平，而且想到上大学需要每个月在外面租房和吃饭的生活费，他们反而就不鼓励孩子去上大学了。没有学历的孩子，到最后往往会步回父母的后尘，从事低收入的工作，导致 B40 community 已日渐长。今年4月的时候，我听到一个贫穷家庭的妈妈, Puan Rubayah 说到：“今天我很心疼，因为我的孩子告诉我她想要上大学，为了完成他的梦想，我向亲朋戚友借了 RM2900 来帮他偿还大学报名费，可是我的孩子告诉我他需要一个电脑来做功课，我却完全没有办法”当下听了，真的感觉很遗憾。如今的年代已经和以往不同，以前和政府借 PTPTN 已足够支撑学费和生活费，如今的年代 PTPTN 只能够给予学费，但是生活费，交通费，书本电脑等等的开销，贫穷家庭的小孩就算在学校假期去打工，都无法完全负担得起。 为了协助Puan Rubayah 和她的孩子, 耕心送了一架电脑给他的孩子，也亲身教导她的孩子如何使用这架电脑，也鼓励他们向宏愿慈善协会寻求帮助。如今，宏愿慈善协会（耕心姐妹协会）每月帮助贫苦家庭的孩子们上大学的生活费 RM250 长达12个月或更久, 再给予他们一次性RM1500 买书本或电脑来上网课等等。这些孩子都很听话，大学放假后常常会跑去打工来帮补家里的收入！我们只有给他们一个要求，就是在我们帮助他们的这个期间，他们得去做慈善的义工或举办小小的爱心活动，把我们给他们的爱心传给外面更多有需要的底层人士 如今，在新的一年2022里，宏愿慈善协会希望可以向大众做个凑款来继续帮助他们。RM30, RM50 或 RM100 都是对我们有很大的鼓励 爱心捐款： Persatuan Harapan Mulia （宏愿慈善协会） CIMB 800 360 0877感恩您的爱心!
