My Story

Dear readers,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my personal fundraising page. My name is Alexandra, currently an intern at the Malaysian Child Resource Institute (MCRI). Started my internship at MCRI at the beginning of November and as time passed by, I’ve begun to fully grasp and understand the dire need to raise awareness for the rights of a child; a child being more vulnerable and the rights often overlooked.

MCRI is a non-governmental and a not-for-profit organization that advocates the rights of the child by raising awareness such as the importance of early childhood care and education. MCRI envisions the rights of a child complied in every aspect regardless of nationality, creed and culture. In regards to the visions of MCRI, we will be carrying out numerous programmes for children from all walks of life, providing them the opportunity to participate in a wide array of activities; that help furnish skills that are beneficial to a child, in the long run. In regards to the year-end holidays, MCRI will be providing programmes that aim to do just that. These programmes include; ·         

  • The Gingerbread man and women bake sale that not only provides the funds to support our initiatives but symbolizes the efforts of increasing personal safety of a child.
  • Menu planning and nutrition class that fulfills the right of a child to have nutritious food in our kid’s kitchen catered for the children. ·        
  • English Reading and Writing classes to help foster a child’s skills in reading and writing.  
  • Speech and drama classes that will help boost a child’s confidence through the freedom of expression- giving them the right to be heard through encouraging avenues. ·        
  • Read aloud programmes to nurture and inculcate a child’s love for books; simultaneously fulfilling a child’s right to children’s books.
  • Kids’ Philosophy classes to allow a child to be inquisitive in thoughts and reasoning through the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality and existence.
  • Young people’s research project to provide a child the opportunity to obtain and share information through research in a safe environment.            
In light, these programmes are held to raise awareness of the rights of a child- providing underprivileged, urban poor, and refugee children the access to educational programmes. Hence, It is only through the kind contribution of people that our programmes can be made possible. To make it happen, the collaborative strength of individuals is what we need.

For more information, do call us at 603 9133 7849 or email us at [email protected]. All donations are in support of our programmes for the children. Thank you very much.
