Helping the Underprivileged Community
We[Care+LovetTeach]=WCLT
Project WCLT is an initiative to help orphans in Kuala Lumpur to improve their education. Recent news revealed that almost 60% of Malaysian students did not have the ability to read nor to do basic mathematics after SPM. Also, we believe that, every child in Malaysia deserves a chance for a betier education. Therefore, for first pilot project, we are hoping to help orphans in Kuala Lumpur to improve themselves, not just in education, but also in level of confidence, self-esteem, loves and above ail, to become a better person in the future. This project will be using students from iocal universities and it is hoped that, we are able to get at least four different educational institutions to make this project a success. These institutions will rotate amongst themselves every week to come to the selected orphanage and spend time with them. We do realize that, students in university have high commitment with their assignments, projects and hence, by participating in WCLT, they can learn something new which will be beneficial for them but at the same time, to contribute back to the community.WCLT is not only focusing in education, but we are hoping to give the children any assistance that they need, We will be giving a support system for the orphanage i.e buy exercise books, stationaries, maintaining the orphanage in good shape, share the loves and even our time. WCLT has high hopes on this project because it involves students from local universities/educational institutions and we believe that, this kind of background will give positive impact to the orphans to excel in their lives. We also believe that, every student has hidden potential in him or her to be a successful person in the future. By collaborating between four education institutions to look after one orphanage, it is going to be challenging but then, the first step would be the hardest. As long we understand our objectives, commit to this project and work as a team for the sake of these children, things will, eventually gets better.

Quality Education
Learning for All
In our society nowadays, the education children receive depends on where they live, what their parents earn and other factors that are not related to their potential.As stated in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025, around 36% of students enrolled to Year 1 in primary school in 2000 are either no longer enrolled in school, or have failed to achieve minimum standards in SPM examinations for core subjects (defined as Bahasa Malaysia, English language, Mathematics, Science, History, and Moral or Islamic Education) in 2010 where they supposed to complete Form 5. We feel that underprivileged students need extra assistance in their studies and also guidance in their lives.UPM is located in Sri Serdang. As part of the community, we feel that we can contribute to this community.We often see children wandering around at the low cost flat in Sri Serdang. They did not go to kindergarten because their parents could not afford to send them to kindergarten. Both parents are working in most of the families. They hardly have time and energy to help their children in their studies. Many of the students in the flat can’t understand simple mathema like 15 minus 8 even when they are in standard four. Some of the school age students can’t even read any single word of their mother tongue. Therefore, we are called to provide free education to help the underprivileged children.With donations from public, we succeeded to set up a community centre in the flat. After 6 months of pilot run, we succeeded to recruit 25 children from low income families. We also have a mini library where we get book donations from public. We teach the children and each of them has a performance record book. We evaluate their learning progress from time to time and share with their parents.The centre is old and has many parts need to repair. We also need some furniture, books, and stationeries so that we can accommodate more students’ needs.We strongly believe that our work impact the community tremendously. We believe that education can change the world. We appreciate each and single cent we raised from our friends and public. We use it wisely to make sure that it serves the children. The children here will never afford to have a computer at home. And we really hope to purchase computers here to help them learn to gain knowledge through computer.This is just a starting point for our project and our existing fund is not sufficient for us to organise more activities and buy necessary learning equipment for the children. We hope that with the fund from Khind Startfish Foundation, we can sustain our education project in this flat and continue bring love to the children.
