My Story

I am fundraising for MCRI, a non-government and non-profit organisation that has been continuously advocating for children's rights. We are collecting funds to launch the Literacy Impacts and Family Education (LIFE) Program. The LIFE Program aims to improve children's literacy with Read Aloud programs a mobile library. Parents play a large role in the lives of their children, hence, this program also includes monthly parenting workshops to improve their understanding of their children's development. After all, the well-being of children begins at home.

How did you feel when you watched that child ride that motorcycle without a helmet? Or when you saw that child wander around in public without parent's supervision?
Violation of children's rights to safety and protection.

How did you feel when you hear stories of those who never managed to complete their education when they were younger? Or of those who wished they had more help during their youth so they could learn better?
Children have the rights to education and of the highest level they are able to achieve.

Many mishaps and crimes related to children are a result of the violation of children's rights, and it is happening around us everyday. As a community, we truly need to understand the goals and the long term benefits of practicing attitudes and behaviours that abide the CRC. Parents play a great role in the nuturing of their children but every other citizen is equally as important. We must do our part to help our children be the best versions of themselves and create a safe and encouraging environment for them to grow.

In United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child, there are 54 articles to protect our children. It covers everything from the right to education, the right to protection, the right for children to be with their parents so on and so forth. We all love our children and we always speak of how they are the leaders of the future, but are we clear about their rights and what we are responsible for to ensure that they grow into their best potential?

I hope you would join me to spread the word to let everyone around you know the rights of our children!
If you would like to support the work we do, you could donate RM1 for each children's right that you strongly believe in!

MCRI is also conducting a children's rights workshop on the 11th August 2017, please contact [email protected] if you would like to know more.
