Catherine Lai went to visit Ladang Bukit Ceraka, Jeram, Kapar, Klang and wish to share her experience with all.
Kim See of ‘The Little NGO’, Pastor Mageson and I took a leisure drive to Perumahan Pekerja Ladang Bukit Cheraka, Jeram, Kapar, Klang to visit. There are 30 families housed in simple house with basic amenities.
The estate workers are taken care of accordingly by the employers but each household have their own issues such as some alcoholism, families with too many children, single parents and the list goes on.
Due to all these unfortunate situations, the innocent children from this families are deprived and shortchanged. They have to sleep on floors, or on soiled mattresses, simple staple of rice with dhall & curry kept and eaten for a period of two to three days.
Despite all the shortcomings these children are friendly, with a big bright smile on their faces.
On 18 Jun, 'Ti-Ratana Meals on Wheels' will be heading on to Ladang Bukit Ceraka Estate Jeram Kapar , we invite you to join us to visit them for a sharing and caring luncheon. We will be lunching delicious vegetarian food together with 300 friends there.
Warmest Regards -Catherine
It was an eye opener and a it was an experience whereby I wholeheartedly encourage all to see and experience it yourself.
Bring along your family to have a wholesome day together.
