The journey begins. Our very first fund raising!

Teddy Bear Hospital PUGSOM will be organizing its first ever visit to a kindergarten in 2 weeks’ time. Each and every one of the volunteers is in maximum gear and ready to rumble. The excitement is shooting up to the roof and everyone is looking forward to it.  Preparations have been made, equipment and props have been checked… Wait a minute, there seems to be a major pitfall! Alas, as of now, we are lacking the necessities to run our activities because of the lack of resources!

As Teddy Bear Hospital is a relatively new project, we require funding to help jump start our activities.  Our activities require things like bandages, plasters, laminated cards, paper plates etc., thus each visit to a daycare center/kindergarten will require a certain amount of funds. In order to come out with a solution to our impending predicament, we decided to have a fund raising event among the people in Perdana University (PU).

With Teddy leading the way, we went around PU explaining to people regarding our project and asked for donation for our cause. Initially we were quite uncertain with the reception that we would get as not many people have heard of TBH and may be skeptical of our project. However, to our delight, everyone we met was very warm to us and was also very tentative to what we have to say. Below are some of the pictures showing the interactions between the volunteers and the awesome people of PU.

Romeo and Juliet? Cheers to that!

Our team then approach PU admin staff. We were once once again not disappointed. The support and help given were just overwhelming. Everyone was willing to lend a hand in however they can, be it donating money or first aid kits, or even offering contacts of kindergartens that may be interested in the project! They were all very keen in seeing this project succeed and were in line with TBH's objectives. Most of them have children and have experienced their children's "white coat anxiety". Many are hopeful that TBH will be able to solve this problem. 

We want to extend our appreciation to the staff of PU for their unwavering support. We also want to apologize as we are unable to identify the names of all these kind people.

Mr. Amin and Teddy make a good pair! Such jovial faces! Thank you.

Mr. Alvin and Ms. Mogana, both who gave us good advice and support. Thank you.

Students from our very own program were also very supportive of our cause!

It was a very memorable day for us, for every one showed us what kindness and generosity can achieve. We just want to emphasize that without all of you, it would have been an insurmountable task for us to start jump start TBH project. Thank you so much, and may the odds be ever in your favor (There, I have just admitted it. I am a fan of that series).
