Bloggers Help to Spread Love for the Children at The Ramakrishna Ashrama
Hi all my readers, I am back now. Thanks for still visiting my blog even though I have been MIA for like 4 months dee. All thanks to my USM (University Science Malaysia) assignments and midterm exams and my Chinese New Year celebration and finally a 9 days of sore throat, fever and cough. Following post will be in 3 series which will be about giving back to society. I have been invited to countless of events such as launching of phones or new products, food reviews and free trips and I find that I have not been giving back to the society at all. Below is the post about what you can do for the children, our future leaders in our world.
Penang, 3rd February 2013 — About 40 bloggers and public visited The Ramakrishna Ashrama to distribute food, beverages and gadgets, sponsored by various commercial entities. It’s a philanthropic exercise not only by businesses in executing their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) but by everyone to give back to the society, thus making life more bearable for everyone in need. The event is made possible by Crowdpot Sdn Bhd (Event Organizer), Ninetology Malaysia, SUBWAY® (Suntech, iAvenue, & Leith Street branches), Chatime Malaysia, Langkawi Saga Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd. and Alextan Artworks.
The Ramakrishna Ashrama (Orphanage), Penang is a charitable organization founded in 1938 under the inspiration and guidance of His Holiness Swami Bhaswarananda Maharaj who was then stationed at The Ramakrishna Mission, Singapore. Apart from spiritual activities, the Ashrama runs an orphanage, catering for both boys and girls with ages ranging from 6 to 20 years old. The orphanage admits needy orphaned children who are poor and need the help from the society to assist them with basic needs and education. The children in the home are given proper education and are well cared for so that they will grow up to be useful citizens. Besides education, the girls learn traditional dancing, cooking and housekeeping. Children excelling well academically are encouraged to pursue higher education.
