The article in today's New Straits Times is about the Desa Amal Jireh. I still remember when they started the home when I was young. It was located in Taman Kajang. How much have they grown. Pastor Sinnadurai and his wife has definitely devoted their whole life to this cause. They will be having their fund raising end of this week.
Give your support, maybe?
Until the next time, cheers.

JC100’s young showmen dazzle
JAY-Z would certainly have approved if he had seen Desa Amal Jireh's (DAJ) very own rapper in action at the launch of the home's supporters' club recently.
Children of Desa Amal Jireh performing a dance at the launch of the JC100 Club recently.
The boy was only in his early teens, but he sure knew how to rap like a
pro, and had the audience in stitches with his zany lyrics which poked
fun at all and sundry in the home.
His performance was one of many at the introduction of the club, JC100, which was a partnership programme between the shelter and members of the community.
The club, a brainchild of DAJ chairman K.K. Sinnadurai, aimed to get people involved with the home, whether by participating in its activities for the children and senior citizens in its care, or by donating funds.
The dinner event to launch JC100 at the shelter's premises in Broga, near here, was attended by more than 400 people.
"We also celebrated another DAJ milestone, its 26th anniversary.
"JC100 will give the people a chance to play a more meaningful role in the lives of our children," said Sinnadurai.
DAJ was founded in 1985 with just two children and a rented house.
More than two decades later, the government-registered home has become one of the biggest shelters around, having in its care 115 children and 10 senior citizens.
Its very own four-year-old premises, the Charity Village at Lot 340, Jalan Broga (Km1), can accommodate twice that number.
The home relies almost entirely on the public for its financial needs, which amount to about RM80,000 a month.
The money goes mainly towards the children's education, utilities, staff salaries, food, maintenance of property and vehicles.
The home is organising a charity food and fun fair at its premises on Dec 3 from 9am to 3pm.
Those who wish to contribute items that can be sold to pay for the children's educational expenses and the home's operations can call 03-8724 5153 or 03-8724 5158.
