Starting a Children's House.
How to go about it:
It may seem like a big accomplishment to run over 96 centres and to provide 8000 children with education, but with a risk of understating our efforts:It is really quite simple.
1. We join up with a plantation company or other sponsor, which is willing to build a learning centre for their children.
2. After this the company will prepare the building as well as tables and chairs.
3. We train the teacher and apply for the permit. We have training of teachers going on at some of the Children's Houses all the time.
4. After that the school will officially open and the parents and teachers form a Parents-Teacher Association, which will take care of daily running of the Children's House. The children then start to go to school every day learning reading, writing, Bahasa Malaysia, English, science and other subjects.
5. We have monthly meetings at the plantations, where the progress of the education is measured. Our BCAS Principal Mr. Riduan Donald, who is also a brilliant educator is providing training at monthly seminars for all our teachers.
The Really Crucial Thing is that we need dedicated teachers and that we someone to fund the Learning Centre. For a relatively small amount of RM 24,000, we can run a Learning Centre for 60 children for one year. It is about the yearly cost of a single child at primary level in the USA and many other developed Countries.
Please help us to be able to reach these underprivileged children in Malaysia.
