Literacy has to begin somewhere and for these boys at Madrasah Al-Faaizun Tahfiz school, it begins with the mastering of the basic knowledge on usage of computer and several vital programs such as word, spreadsheet, and presentation.
At Yayasan Pillar, knowledge house @ Omaha Villa, Jalan Sultan Tengah, it’s a different story for boys and girls of UPSR and SPM. They are already initiated in their schools with computers and IT.
But the boys at Madrasah Al-Faaizun, they are different kettle of fish. They came from a background of broken homes and stray kids. They had no proper education until they came to Madrasah Al-Faaizun, which offers them personal and spiritual guidance but with no IT education. That is where Yayasan Pillar came in to help out the boys.
Hunger and poverty never cease to plague the world, even in developed country. With the living cost on the rise in many developed countries, the less capable and poor face even greater challenge in confronting their daily living expenses. Life has never been easy; so, in order to relieve the burden faced by these core poor families in the town, Yayasan Pillar decided to once again launch the program of City Poor Care Day.
This time, 140 family members of non-muslim group from Desa Wira, Batu Kawah area were invited to attend the program which took place at the venue Dewan Balai Raya Batu Kawah on 24th August 2019, Saturday. Foods and basic necessities such as butter, flour, milk, oat, rice, soy sauce, syrup were distributed to these poor families.
Once again, Yayasan Pillar would like to express gratitude to the sponsors who are generous enough to contribute in this Food Bank project organized for the City Poor Care Day.
