Yesterday we turned 5! Happy Birthday Insaf Malaysia.

What better occasion than this fifth birthday to celebrate our achievements and to thank everyone who helped us along the way.

Here are some of the projects carried out in the past year:

●    Mobile Clinic at Kampung Orang Asal Rawang, Selangor – Medical Cluster

●    Programme “Pakaian Amal Insaf Malaysia” in Kuala Lumpur – WASH Cluster

●    “Sekempit Beras Sebuah Rumah” programme collected one ton of rice – Food Cluster

●    Delivery of food and clothes to Rumah Anak-Anak Yatim & Madrasah Hasyimah, Selayang, Rumah Kebajikan Sinthamani Divine Live Ashram, Kepong and Rumah Kasih Harmoni, Keramat, Kuala Lumpur – Food Cluster and WASH Cluster

●    3 days mission/expedition to distribute food and clothes to 4 Orang Asal villages in Gua Musang, Kelantan, in partnership with MyLandy group 4 x 4 – Insaf Logistic and Food Cluster.

●    Help and technical assistance delivered to Pandan, Province of Antique, in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan which devastated large parts of the Philippines – Emergency Response Unit.

●    Help and technical assistance was delivered to Kemaman, Terengganu, Kuantan & Tasik Chini, Pekan, Pahang, in the wake of the terrible flooding which affected the East Coast of Malaysia – Shelter Cluster

●    Construction of 1 house under the ‘Tampal Rumah' programme at Kampung Gumun, Tasek Chini, Pekan. Pahang – Shelter Cluster

●    Construction of ‘3 houses under the Tampal Rumah' programme at Kampung Orang Asal Bukit Unggul, Dengkil, Selangor. - Shelter Cluster

●    “Buka Puasa” (Iftar) at Rumah Perlindungan & Bimbingan Wanita WARDA, Klang, Pusat Jagaan Warga Emas Siti Nur Aini, Kajang and Rumah Kasih Sayang, Rawang.

Our Shelter Cluster has indeed been very busy! Due to your generosity of companies such as Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad (they financed 2 houses), we completed another 4 houses with the assistance of volunteers and students alike. We are also proud to announce that the Star Publication took notice of our efforts in the constructions of houses for the Orang Asal communities. They have expressed an interest in raising funds for 8 more houses to be built in Selangor, the first one of which will be built as early as this coming weekend. We are very proud of this latest development.

Towards the end of the year we also found the time to design and produce our very first Insaf Malaysia Calendar for 2014, featuring the beautiful faces of the orang asal children we met in the various villages we visited over the last year.

To conclude I want to thank everyone for their donations, their generosity and also the volunteers and committee members, for their time. I appreciate all your efforts and your help. I look forward to another busy and fruitful year.
