January 8, 2023 : In the course of our charity and voluntary work the past 13 years, we came across many kind hearted souls from a wide section of the populace. But it is not often that we meet the same person dedicated to the mission of helping others in a consistent manner.
And that is understandably so because not everyone has the time and financial resources to do so. Hence, it was admirable to see a kind hearted woman who consistently chose to celebrate her birthday in an old folks home, taking the opportunity to bring joy and happiness to the residents.
Going by the name of Kitty Ang, she would use her birthday wish to get sponsors, muster her friends to dress up in various costumes and set up a singing and dance stage to entertain old folks and orphans from various homes.
Last night ( January 7, 2023 ) was one of her yearly routine.
Twelve Caring Soul members volunteered to take part in the event, offering help to close to 100 old folks and orphans from five different homes who gathered at the Rahmat Old Folks home in Semenyih to enjoy the pre Chinese new year celebration brought to them by this kind hearted Kitty. The old folks and orphans were also feasted with a buffet line of food while being entertained by some local singers.
A lion dance performance was later followed by the old folks joining in the fun of dancing to the songs and music that played through the night until 10 pm. Caring Soul volunteers helped with the setting up and caring for the old folks during the event.
Kitty reminds us of the founding member of an orphanage in Petaling Jaya whose yearly birthday wish was also to take her orphans for an outing to celebrate the occasion. We salute such kind hearted souls. The least Caring Soul could do was to lend them the necessary support with our volunteers.
Not only did the old folks and orphans left last night’s event with gifts and ang pows sponsored by Kitty but also happy memories of the night.
