Refuge For The Refugees
- We are a group of 14 students enrolled in the Diploma in Advertising programme at Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC). This is our 1st semester and all our classes are online. One of the courses which we are taking this semester is the Civic Consciousness & Volunteerism course and as part of our coursework, we are raising funds for the less fortunate. The purpose of this campaign is to cultivate kindness, empathy and compassion towards the less fortunate. We are raising funds for the Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR), a non-governmental organisation. RFTR is in urgent need of cash to assist refugees and other Malaysians in the B40 category who are in dire condition due to this pandemic. Refuge for the Refugees will supply food items and it costs only RM60 to feed a family for 2 weeks. The funds raised will lend a helping hand to these diligent angels on their mission to reach out to more people in need! - Despite the differences in our nationality, skin colour, religious beliefs, culture, way of life, we are all humans. We bleed in the same colour, red. We live in the same world, with the same aspirations and we are all trying our best to survive and live a dignified life. It is undeniable that differences divide us apart, but we believe that kindness and empathy in every individual’s heart can be connected. Hence, we promote the cultivation of kindness and empathetic values within our hearts, and hope that you will join us in this meaningful journey to help the ones in need during this difficult period of time. May our theme “Nobody Gets Left Behind” comes true! Please support our fundraising by donating. Any amount is fine. No amount is too small. Thank you.https://www.facebook.com/Kindness-Unite-102731685420236 (Facebook Page) https://www.instagram.com/kindnessunite/ (Instagram Page)

Refuge For The Refugees
I'm continuing to celebrate a present-free birthday, and this year I have chosen to fundraise for 'Refuge for the Refugees'. It would mean a lot to me if you could donate to this worthy cause - every little helps, no matter the amount. "Refuge For The Refugees is a non-profit organization that seeks to raise awareness regarding the plight of refugees in Malaysia as well as provide education for refugee children.The refugee and migrant communities in Malaysia are amongst one of the most vulnerable groups of people who receive little to no support when a pandemic like COVID-19 strikes. Since the Movement Control Order took place, many from these communities have lost their jobs and now struggle to put food on the table for their families.Seeing the massive need on the ground, with many from the community calling us for help, RFTR alongside 3 partner NGOs - Tenaganita, Dapur Jalanan KL and Liga Rakyat Demokratik decided to join hands to support the communities with grocery aid."

Refuge For The Refugees
Growing up, I've always been surrounded by people that I deeply care about, family and friends who have always showered me with lots of love through their wishes and presents on my birthdays which I am immensely grateful for. However, this year it would be great if we could all chip in together to channel our support towards the refugee and migrant communities in Malaysia who are one of the most vulnerable groups of people, especially throughout this pandemic. Things are pretty tough for everyone right now so let's do what we can to make a small difference by extending a little help to those who need it. Your contribution would directly go to Refuge For The Refugees who are currently looking to raise RM200,000 to support a total of 3500 families with food aid for the next 6 months. A donation of RM60 is enough to feed a family for two weeks. Nobody should have to starve during this pandemic. Refuge For The Refugees is a non-profit organization that seeks to raise awareness regarding the plight of refugees in Malaysia as well as provide education for refugee children. With the kind support of donors, volunteers and strategic partners like Malaysian Red Crescent Society, IMPACT Malaysia and BMW Malaysia, they have been able to provide support to 29390 beneficiaries across 461 locations. Thank you in advance for your donation and may God bless all of you for your kindness.

I'm celebrating my birthday by giving this year, and I would love for you to be a part of this too. For every giving, let me mail (yes by post, in an envelope) to you, or a person of your choice, a little hand-painted encouragement note! Here's how we can make it work:Give any amount you'd like to support this causeBetween now till 19 November, funds go directly to Refuge For The Refugee so I don't take any amountFill in this form with all the necessary detailshttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScVsgcPa7Ke5aCjrMm-Y8awrh_4J-aoayJIJxdiyYa2rtKzLw/viewformSurprise someone or wait for your thank you artwork :)Want to know what you'll be contributing to? Read on below!---Hello! I'm Anndrea, and my birthday falls on 19 October (every year, yes in case you're wondering). Growing up, I always felt attached to my birthday, because it meant I could feast with family and friends, and go on unlimited amount of catch ups or even getting coffee shouts from my friends. That said, the pandemic didn't do anyone good this year. It kept most of us confined within our homes, and got us socially (and physically) distant when we were within the same spaces - that also essentially means I won't be able to celebrate my birthday like how I used to. Also since Facebook's been encouraging me to do a birthday fundraiser, I mean... no harm giving it a shot right? Now, since you'll have all that money not spent on me this year, why not share it with me as I give away my birthday to those who really needs it?Months ago (when BLM was a major issue globally), I remember searching for the marginalized communities here in Malaysia only to end up reading quite a bit about the refugee situations in our country instead. Having to understand how majority of us don't seem to bother simply because we don't see, experience or know how bad their situations are, aside that fact that many dealing directly with the refugees treating them as less human (which is impossible), I really wanted to do something to support this community however possible.So I got in touch with Heidy from Refuge For The Refugee to find out what you and I could contribute through my birthday fundraiser. Here are some of the causes you'll be giving to support the refugee community:New Mental Health InitiativeFunds will be utilized to provide access to mental health for the refugees who come from war-torn countries. Many of them suffer from severe anxiety and PTSD, and bringing in trained professionals will teach them skills to cope better.Basic Necessities At Detention CentresFunds will be used for purchasing of basic necessities for the refugees. In lieu of the rising Covid-19 cases, detention centres have asked RFTR if they bring in additional basic necessities supplies for the refugees currently detained for various reasons.Laptops For EducationFunds will also be channelled to purchase laptops for refugee kids so they are able to continue studying, especially now that schools need to be closed once again. With the fluctuating cases, many schools may alternate between physical class and online studying when required, and having a laptop for the refugee kids make it possible for them to keep up in their studies.If you asked me why I did this only this year, I too wish I'd started sooner - but it's never too late to start! Thank YOU for contributing to a cause I stand for, and celebrating my birthday with me!

Refuge For The Refugees
I’ve always been outspoken in my support for the refugees, especially in time where refugees are met with a lot of hate. I don’t only see it in Australia and how refugees are kept in detention centres that are really horrible condition that children themselves commit suicide (ABC, BBC, Human Rights Watch). I see it in Malaysia as well where people who were once outspoken in their support for refugees have become ugly in their actions and words, and anyone who speaks up about it gets demonised (NST, Al Jazeera, Malay Mail, ABC). It is so bad that in my support and standing up for refugees to receive basic human rights (which should be a given and not something to earn), I’ve had people harass me and send me death threats on social media.The refugee and migrant communities in Malaysia are amongst one of the most vulnerable groups of people who receive little to no support during this pandemic. Many from these communities have lost their jobs and now struggle to put food on the table for their families. While there is a problem with the treatment of refugees in Australia where I am currently residing, it is my responsibility and privilege the majority in Malaysia to do what I can to help my own country. Refuge For The Refugees is a non-profit organization that seeks to raise awareness regarding the plight of refugees in Malaysia as well as provide education for refugee children. They are working together with other organisations such as Tenaganita, Dapur Jalanan KL and Liga Rakyat Demokratik for this project, and their donors, volunteers and strategic partners include the Malaysian Red Crescent Society, IMPACT Malaysia and BMW Malaysia.
