THEY WILL ASK thee as to what they should spend on others. Say: "Whatever of your wealth you spend shall [first] be for your parents, and for the near of kin, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer; and whatever good you do, verily, God has full knowledge thereof." - Al-Baqarah (2:215)

The Exhibition

22nd November 2009 - Meru Valley Golf & Country Club organised the Ipoh International Friendship Night. With the aim of bringing together foreigners working or staying in or around Ipoh, and familiarising them with the various community associations and programmes in Ipoh, an exhibition was held as their pre-dinner activity between 4.30 to 7 pm.

Buddies were invited as well, and so about 3.30pm, off I went, first to our centre to collect all the necessary stuff - buntings, posters, pamphlets and bookmarks. Another volunteer was already at the exhibition hall when I got there. She was also representing another organisation and they had actually got there earlier to set up their table... which happened to be right beside ours.

Set up the buntings behind our table, put up the poster in front of our table, and placed some pamphlets and bookmarks on the table to be distributed to visitors.

2 other volunteers then came with a few of our Buddy Bears. Ah yes, our Buddy Bears are never left behind during our exhibitions.

And here's the scene of the golf course from where our exhibition was held.

Well the exhibition today was not an HIV awareness campaign, but more of to introduce ourselves to the public, in particular the foreign community in Ipoh.

And oh, to strengthen our networking with the other organisations as well... that's important too!
