Care Haven Children's Home at Taman Bukit Rinting, Masai - Johor.

Care Haven Children's Home (N1 29.701 E103 51.597) is located at 2, Jalan Tembusu 20, Tmn Bukit Rinting, Masai - Johor. We were invited for the Mooncake Festival on September 2011. This was my first time celebrate Mid-Autumn party with all the orphan and single parent's children.

Care Haven Children's Home (established since 2003) (Orphanage)

It was corwded when we were there...especially the 'Lok-lok' food truck. Beside that, there were also buffet dinner for everyone.

The 'Lok-lok' food truck which always full of peoples!


All the delicious foods on the table...

The Wall Street Bar also sponsored the curry chicken for the night which was Very Tasty! I had it double! :) I saw some helpful guys carried the donated rice and foods into the centre during that night, peoples are continue support the Orphanage by doing some charites and donations.
Great!

I had a chat with one of the Principle - Mr Tham about the centre...there are total of 76 children at the centre for the moment. Age from 3 to 17 years old. And most of them are orphan and portion of the children are abandoned by their single parent.
The centre also has A Secondary school at Taman Setia Indah (Johor Bahru) for the children, but it's all depend on the kids decision. The Principles will let the children to decide their own school.

The Principles (Mr Tham and Miss Sim) sacrified thier own time and willing to take care for the unfortunate children, arrange their eduction and responsible for them.

I salute their 'Spirit'!

There was a Magic Show on that night which performed by the Magician - Mr Jason Hoon. Everyone like him very much because he really mixed with all the children!

Every children got their best spot and ready for the Magic Show of the night...


The Magician - Jason Hoon

And the Show began...

Every children were so concentrate with the Magic Show, and it was a good time for us to snapped some innocent kids portrait photos...


One of the Cute Littler girl among the children...

Surprised!

I'm wondering why she was so angry?!

Concentrating...

Mr Jason Hoon (Magician) interacting with the children...

Now you see...now you don't...


The Cute little girl again...

I said 'Two'...

Yeah...I said 'Two' too...




Pondering...how he did that?!

Smile...

At last part of the show was the Best moment, where Mr Jason made the whole room 'snowing' by his tissue paper trick!

Snowing in the room...

All the children were soooo happy to see the 'snow'! (even it was fake snow)

Jason did some explained to the children...

In the appreciation from the Principle (Ms Sim) to Mr Jason

After the show, all the children were out from the room and I was surprised to see some of them continued to learned from the notes hanging on the grill...

During that time, the 'Lok-lok' truck was totally empty! Not even a single stick left!

Empty plates on the Lok-lok truck...

I met the young boy who only 4 years old and infected by some rare disease which cannot be cure (report from Hospital)...all the children are praying for him frequently...and he is well take care by the centre at the moment...
We are very fortunate to have our parents and family beside us, but not every children are! Just like the children at Care Haven...they are depend on the donations from the public which help them to continue their life journey...

The purpose of this blog post is to let everyone know the Care Haven Children's Home and it might just another few steps away from your house. Do our part as much as we can to help the unfortunate children, they need our help!

The boss was busy preparing the meal...

It's basically a pork intestine mixed with some tau-fu and stewed egg. The Kuey Tiaw (Rice noodle) served was not the ordinary type but in bigger pieces...(photo below)
