BACKGROUND

Lovely Nursing Centre was established in July 1999 by Mr Gopinath and his mother, Madam Thanalechumy. Initially, there was only a small group of old folks housed in an existing bungalow, which is rented. Since then, some renovation had been carried out to expand the usable area of the compound-putting up a covered area in the garden and extending the back portion for a wet kitchen. Currently, the centre has 76 residents and most of them had been abandoned and were referred by the Police, Welfare services and hospitals. They are being cared for by the full-time staffs that are supported by a group of volunteers. The Directors who manage the centre are not remunerated in any form.

The centre is entirely dependent on public generosity for its operational expenditures. People from all walks of life have made contributions in cash and in kind and also give time to keep the residents company.  As far as possible, various activities are carried out to stimulate the residents and make each day meaningful.The centre is open to those who need shelter, regardless of race and religion. The spirit of togetherness is fostered through the celebration of all the major Malaysian festivities. Ocassionally, the residents have been invited to outside events by various organizations and companies.

The WE Section would like to invite members who are keen on charitable work to join us in this visit to bring some cheer to the underprivileged.  You may also wish to provide contributions in kind as per the list below which will be most welcomed and appreciated.


NOTE :  The visit is strictly limited to only 30 participants registered and registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
