News - Volunteers needed at POHD
Wwith reference to my post below.
POHD, which is co-ordinating the collection of donated items, need volunteers today at 12.30pm to load all the items to trucks. If you happen to be around town today, do drop in and offer your help. I'll be there at 12 noon.
As POHD is still open to collection until 7th Jan., items will still be coming and therefore they need volunteers everyday to sort out the donated items. Contact the tel. no. found in the post below.

A friend and I went to the POHD centre today. There were easily more than 50 volunteers who showed up,all eager to help and do their bit for the tsunami victims. It was a very heartwarming sight and I felt proud to be a Malaysian. Chinese,Malays,Indians and even a few Caucasians, people of different religions and race were sweating and puffing loading the boxes onto the container. Malaysian's are truly a caring lot!
hi there! thanks for the info. we actually got your message a bit late but we were still glad that we turned up to give some helping hands.
anyone who have info for volunteer work, please post it here. i'm sure there are a lot of peoples willing to give sweat for this volunteer job.
glad to note that you both of you (and friends) were there. yes there were more than 50 volunteers turning up. i was there from 12.30 to 4.00pm. can't recognise you people, so won't know if you two are there. :)
after the loading of the items to the truck, i stayed back to sort out the clothes.
joachim from the POHD, said that, that shipment will be sent to sri lanka (but go through KL first) but the rest of the shipment will be sent to acheh directly. POHD is still accepting donations of items, esp. food and medical supplies. oh and they still need volunteers to sort out the items and packed the items.
oh btw, forgot to mention. i had taken lots of photos and will be blogging on it, with the photos (tell me if you are in the pictures) in my blog. wanted to do it today but seemed to be getting tired, so maybe tomorrow.
god bless all u people who have lived thru this terrible disaster. please know the people of the USA send their prayers,money,volunteers and wish you all the best. please stay strong for your family members,neighbours,children and animals who need you.
GOD BLESSES .
