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!
