沢山の方のご参加ありがとうございました。

元はマレーシアのjessiの提案です。
（jessiのスレ　：　http://vanness-vifc.org/bbs/view ... &extra=page%3D1）
今回、jessiと話し合った結果日本の皆さんにも同じご提案をさせていただきます。


皆様へ

マレーシアのメンバー達は今年のヴァネの32歳の誕生日の為に寄付金を集める事にしました。
過去3年間のように、私達は今年の彼への贈り物も重要な意味のあるものになると信じています。

過去三年間の私達が行った事を振り返ってみましょう。

2007年　UNICEFへの寄付。
2008年　KL限定新時代慈善活動
2009年　VIFCマレーシアのメンバー達は30時間の断食を通じてワールド・ビジョンの為にRM（＝マレーシア・リンギット）5115.00を売り上 げました。


メンバーや友人達の慈善活動への貢献に感謝します。神の御加護を。。

では、今年は何が出来るでしょう？

以上がjessiの文のおおまかな訳です。

詳細は World Vision ( www.worldvision.com.my/goh )で見られますが、要は私達が出し合ったお金でWorld Visionが提示しているカタログの中から子供達等にプレゼントを贈りませんか、というものです。

家族の為の家畜、子供の為の学生服、路上生活者の為の家など、贈り物は受取人が貧困の悪循環から脱出するのを手助けするのを目的とされます。
子供達の健やかな未来の為に、意義のある寄付をお願いします。

と、World Vision のサイトには書かれています。



私達は皆さんからの寄付を元に何をプレゼントするのか決め、ヴァネの誕生月にギフトカードを彼に送るつもりです。

例えば、私達がRM200を集められたら、
2セットの「農業スターターキット（ヒヨコ5羽　+　小鴨5羽　+　野菜の種　1ｋｇ）」- RM180
1セットの「お絵描 + 書き方学習本」- RM20
を送る事が出来ます。
（ちなみに、RM1は日本円換算3円弱。　RM200で5500～6000円だと思って下さい）

Overhelming Results

After conducting numerous events every year, we realise that the best gift that Van ness would love would be for us to join efforts to help the needy, as practiced annually. The Malaysian girls decided that this year, we would participate in the World Vision programme called ‘Gift of Hope’ which is an event whereby funds collected would then be contributed to the needy just so they could have practical gifts such as livestock for families, school uniforms for children, and homes for street families.

When I first heard about this project, I thought that it was a good initiative to perform an early kick-start for Van ness’ birthday gift this year. I was excited to have the opportunity to be able to participate in such a meaningful gesture. It is not unusual for people to neglect the less fortunate either because of their busy hectic schedules of everyday lives or people just do not know the best channel to help the needy. World Vision is a wonderful organisation because it is not only reputable, it also conducts extensive projects to extend their hands to assist the less fortunate ones all around the world. Therefore, I personally appreciate this opportunity to be a donor and at the same time contribute to Van ness’ birthday present.

Since it was a charitable event, it would definitely be more effective if we could get more attention from many more people other than just the few of us here in KL. When this project was posted on VIFC, members from all around the world decided to play a part in this meaningful event. When I heard about the positive response given by members, it reminded me that the members in the fanclub not only care about the wishes by their idol, but they are also willing to take out some of their pocket money for contribution. It was indeed very touching for all of us here in Malaysia. The overwhelming response motivated us to work further to improve this project and make is as memorable as ever. Here is a special shoutout to members from Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, China, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and of cos Malaysia. Thank you so much for participating in this charity. Your good deed is greatly appreciated!

Honestly, the total amount raised was really not the main concern, because initially it was just an effort by the Malaysian girls for the 32th Birthday. However, now with so many more donors coming in, the amount raised has increased tremendously! In my opinion, I am greatly touched and happy that we could raise such an incredible amount this year. Good job, everyone and keep it going!

Dear All Friends,

The girls from Malaysia have decided to raise fund for this year V charitable 32nd Birthday Project.

Just like the past 3 years, we believe this year will be another meaningful gift for him and also for all of us here.

Let’s flash back at what we have done previous years….
2007 – Successfully raise some donation for UNICEF.
2008 – KL Limited Charitable New Era Cap
2009 – Participants (some VIFC M’sia members and friends) fasted for 30hours and successfully raised RM5115.00 for 30hours Famine, World Vision. The total raised funds by World Vision were later contributed to Myanmar, Uzbekistan,India, Laos, North Korea, China, Malaysia, etc...

Million thanks to all the members and friends that contributed for all the past charitable events. GOD BLESS….

So what are we looking at this for this year?????

~ ~GIFT OF HOPE ~ ~

Give a gift. Honour a loved one. Change the world!

How often have we received gifts that we absolutely do not know what to do with? Is it socially acceptable to “recycle” them? Or, just put them out of sight and eventually, out of mind? Have you ever thought of giving a gift that will bring not only bring smiles to your friends and loved ones but gives hope and life to a child, a mother or community in need?

Now, you can do just that with the World Vision Gifts of Hope catalogue, a unique, alternative gift catalogue that allows you to combine the thoughtfulness of gifting with meaningful acts of charity.The gift catalogue features practical gifts such as livestock for families, school uniforms for children, and homes for street families. The gifts are aimed at helping its recipients break free from the vicious cycle of poverty.

Give a meaningful gift today and help us spread the word by passing this on! Thank you for helping us build a better world for children!

In the past 4 years, the gifts have gone to China, East Timor, Lebanon, Mongolia, Bosnia, India, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia.
