True Fitness Charity Drive

My husband, my two older boys and I took some time out today for charity. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own lives that we forget those less fortunate than us. Thanks to the recent charity drive by True Fitness, my family and I got the opportunity to contribute. And my boys also got a valuable education in appreciation....appreciating the basic things that they take for granted, like toys, education, and most importantly the love and support of a parent when in need.

Over the past 2 months, members of all 3 True Fitness centres in the Klang Valley contributed in kind to children's homes selected by the fitness centre. True Fitness at Jaya33 chose The Agathian Shelter at Section 8, PJ, as the beneficiary of their members' outpouring of generosity.

The Agathians Shelter is a home for boys (currently 30 of them) who are orphaned, from a broken home, abandoned or children of single mothers unable to care for them. The youngest I saw there is just 3 years old.

As with all homes, they survive on the charity of the public. The home is run by a council called Pertubuhan Kebajikan Agathians, Malaysia and the home is located at No. 17, Jalan Tengas 8/8, Section 8. If you wish to contribute, you can contact Mr Sivabalan at 012-296 8014 or 03-7954 1680. They can also be reached by email: agathians_siva@yahoo.com. Or browse their website: http://www.agathians.org/ for more information.
