After the AMSA-IMU (NKF) fundraising event,
I've decided to continue taking part in charity sales event as well =)
For this time, my choice was Christmas charity sales event: A Gift to One is a Blessing to Another, at Subang Parade, organised by United Voice(Self-Advocacy Society of Persons with Learning Disabilities)
The volunteer partners with me for this time were Yin Yee, Hoon Mun, Su-Xian, Yee Yein, Joe Jen and some United Voice staffs at Subang Parade booth.
While for the coming weeks at Mid Valley booth, the volunteers will be Ming Kang, Jun Rong, Pei Wen, Chieh Hwa and Pei Xia.

The mission of UV is to advocate and to ensure that persons with learning disabilities are given the right to education, employment, community living and to be respected as individuals.

Arranging, counting, recording and packaging of homemade cookies, handicrafts and T-shirt.
With United Voice staff (Izzudin, a learning disabilities person filled with hope, self confidence & a strong determination to live every single day meaningfully. He's involved in making the cards, craft & some cookies too =) Though, he might not be perfect in communication or lacking in terms of learning abilities, i'm impressed by the abilities & willingness of Izzudin on doing the handicraft and also volunteer himself on this charity event. Through him, I have learn that it doesn’t take much of how great you are or how popular you are to accomplish the task, it just takes your willingness and determination in doing & accomplish the task. I've learn that willpower is the key to success.
As the saying goes 'In the absence of willpower, the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless.' )
