Our objectives

Goals For The Home for Terminally Ill Children

 

* To provide shelter and care for children who are terminally ill due to the failure for cells to reproduce, generate or undergo repair. We will also cater other forms of reproductive health problems, especially for the homeless and abandoned children. This home will only accommodate eight to ten children with illness at any one time. This is to facilitate better personal attention to each child.

* To provide these children a loving, caring and meaningful environment in order to develop them into holistic persons.

* To guide and to provide these children the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually.

* To provide the necessary general education, medical attention and loving care during the final stages of the disease or illness.

* To encourage research into these cases and so discover ways of preventing or relieving the suffering caused by discrimination, abandonment and other related factors. We will also keep such statistics and basic records available to facilitate research.

* To educate and inform the public, the media and the relevant authorities, of these children and to encourage the support by professional workers for the purpose of helping such children deal and overcome their problems.

* To campaign for and promote the need for affordable and accessible health care centres open to all in need of help.

 

 

Goals for Education Centre

* Every child will be equipped with Information Technology (IT) by learning about computers and their functions. Module includes: the Windows Operating System, Microsoft Office Programmes and using the Internet.

* Every child will be trained to speak and write in Bahasa Malaysia and the English language, and to do so in proper grammar and diction.

* Every child will have the use of a library of reference books, encyclopedias, and many kinds other books to enhance their knowledge. This also would be a place for them to undertake group studies and discussions.
