Penang,
3rd February 2013 — About 40 bloggers and public visited the Penang
Shan Children’s Home Association 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.
Penang
Shan Children’s Home (PSCH) began as a dream and initiative of Dr.
S Balakrishnan in the year 2005. This is a non-religious and a
non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of
orphans, neglected children, dysfunctional families and single
parents. The home was built and officially launched on 14th December
2008 by Madam Chan Siew Har. PSCH’s mission is to maximize the
attractive opportunities that are stored in the children; to make
something happen; to change the ways that things are and to create
something that no one else has ever created before for the children,
to explore for opportunities; to provide guidance and course
correction; maintaining focus on being consistent and persistent.
The
objectives are both short and on a long term basis. The short term
objective is to provide all the children with a safe and supportive
environment. The focus will be on the development of physical,
mental, emotional, educational, social and recreational skills that
will create awareness to structure and mould the child’s future.
The longer term development includes the options that are available
for the child’s future, supporting them to complete the tertiary
education preferably to University level. For those who are unable to
complete the basic education, they would be trained in developing
their skills by educating them in skill training centers. Through
home visits and working with parents, they would like to ensure that
eventually the child is reunited with his/her family thus becoming
the backbone of the family.
