I feel good when I able to raise fund to fulfill Mr Kau wish in TLC Promise Me Campaign. To date, I have raised RM788 in total for Mr Kau. You could check out more about the Promise Me Campaign that I posted earlier and how I manage to raise the fund and I must say that it was a challenging task!

Last Saturday, early in the morning I went to meet Mr Kau and interview with Bernama TV of this TLC Promise Me Campaign in Mr Kau’s house. He’s waiting for my arrival eagerly and I can tell from his face, he’s very happy to see me and chat with me although this is the second time meeting him. =)

Bernama crew and reporter were there to interview Mr Kau & Me on this TLC Promise Me campaign. Mr Kau speak very slow and in cantonese so his daughter be the translator and yes he’s very happy that someone actually help to fulfill his wish of getting Ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) for him.

He related his experience as a stroke survivor and must be thankful that he could still walk around with assistant right now. I’m proud of myself too as I did try my best to help someone who’s really in need and reward back to the society.

We can’t just work, eat and sleep doing the same routine tasks but without doing something that’s meaningful in our live. It is about channeling the collective energy of the community in helping the less fortunate, disabled and underprivileged in our society.

Always remember this phrase : “Celebrate the past, enjoy the present, create our future.” Thanks for those who supported me in the Car Wash Campaign and to those who donated too.

As I have posted earlier, I took up a pledge to fulfill Mr Kau wish of getting an “Ankle Foot Orthotic” (or AFO), it’s a special brace that is designed to help control the motion of the ankle joint and also offer support to the foot. In order to fulfill Mr Kau wish, I have came up with Charity Car Wash idea.

Then I proposed to a car detailing shop (Shine N Shield) owner and he agreed to help up on this charity campaign and I really appreciate him for his support! I have also come up with a promotional video clips so that more people aware of this car wash campaign.

Last Sunday, was one of my most meaningful day as I raised fund to fulfill Mr Kau wish by having a car wash campaign. I must thank Raymond, the owner of the car detailing shop Shine N Shield @ Sunway for supporting me in this car wash campaign by giving me a place to host this charity car wash campaign.

He was kind enough to provide 2 workers to help up too, initially I was just asking him whether want to take part in this charity car was campaign and I will wash the cars myself no need to involve the workers. But seriously, without the help of the 2 works and friends, I really cannot finish washing so many cars in 4 hours!

On top of that, he provided refreshment and drinks for those who participated in this raising fund campaign too, it’s so kind of him. If you wish to do car detailing Polarized Protection System, do check out my previous experience here.

Throughout this 4 hours Charity Car Wash campaign, even I’m very exhausted, but I managed to wash 15 cars and raised RM480! Although I was expecting more cars but the target was achieved, really appreciate those who came and support!

On top of that, I managed to raise another RM278 by donation, so in total I have raised RM758! I really appreciate all the kind support from my friends and readers. Thanks!

Thanks for helping Mr Kau to fulfill his wish!

Will be getting the AFO and will be giving it to Mr Kau very soon! Stay tuned for more updates on my Promise Me pledge.

On the other hand, NASAM is organising their annual food and fun fair with this year’s theme of Fun on the Roof. It will be held on 18 July 2010 (Sunday) on the 4th level of the Jaya 33 carpark in Petaling Jaya. Their target is to raise RM200,000 from this event to meet the operating expenses of their two centres in Petaling Jaya and Ampang.

You may purchase the food and fun fair coupons at RM10 per booklet or make a cash donation to help them defray the cost of organising the event.

TLC Promise Me Campaign was launched and officiated by Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil on June 5 at the Bangsar Shopping Centre.

Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jali, Julia Chong (CEO of The Truly Loving Company), Jonathan Teoh.

Under the campaign, participants will find out and strive to fulfill the wishes of 70 selected individuals from Rumah Aman, Hospis Malaysia, the National Stroke Association of Malaysia and the Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Children Association of Johor Baru.

As a participant of this Promise Me Campaign together with 4 other bloggers, I was there to witness the launch too. I feel really proud as I could do something and reward back to the society by not just go to work daily, eat and sleep, but do something meaningful in our life and also help those in need.

We have vowed that we will fulfill the wish of those in need thru this campaign wholeheartedly and we will try our very best effort.

I took up a pledge to fulfill Mr Kau wish of getting an “Ankle Foot Orthotic” (or AFO), it’s a special brace that is designed to help control the motion of the ankle joint and also offer support to the foot.

I have visited Mr Kau in Nasam Ampang. Nasam is really a place where it helps the stroke survivors as their objective is “There is Life After Stroke through proper rehabilitation.” We should have more places like this and more volunteer for charity so that those less fortunate or underprivileged people will not be ignored.

Mr Kau is a very optimistic and very cheerful man. But I sense that he really needs a lot of care and people to talk to him. I was there and chat with him about an hour and really impress with him.

He needs “Ankle Foot Orthotic” (or AFO) to support him so that he could move around easier.

In order for me to fulfill his wish, I need to raise fund and I come out with an idea of Charity Car Wash. As I know, nowadays most people do have own a car and some even lazy to wash it themselves, so why not I’m doing the Car Wash and at the same time help to raise fund?

I would be glad if you could come and support this fund raising campaign this Sunday (11 July 2pm-6pm) @ Shine N Shield Sunway. The owner of the detailing shop actually agrees to let me to use his place to run this Car Wash campaign and I really appreciate his kind support.

So if you are free this Sunday, ask your friends, relative, bloggers all come and support this Car Wash Fund Raising Campaign that I’ve planned. If you could help me doing the car washing then it will be awesome coz only I one person to wash 20-30cars will not be an easy job! =)

Don’t know how long I never wash the car myself already. So lazy, just take the car to snow wash and vacuum only for RM8. Normally I take my car to Mobil or Caltex Station near Center Point to have snow wash. This time I tried the SS2 Car Wash near Seapark Police Station which is just next to the durian stall in SS2.

Do you wash your car by yourself? If not where you take your car to? Scare of your car being scratched?
