BLIND LEADING THE BLIND

Dear all,

The BLB(Blind Leading the Blind) campaign is here and some of the Leo club members, including me, will raise funds for the cataract operations and sight-related diseases for the poor and needy. Anyone can donate as much money as you want due to your willingness. In addition, those who volunteers to donate above RM200 will receive a TAX EXEMPTION receipt on request.

For those who willingfully wants to donate, kindly contact me, Leo Chua Pei Wen (012-3662652) or Leo Hoe Yu Li (012-3778201)

Cheques can be made out to Petaling Jaya Lions Charity Foundation

Furthermore, there's an event going to held called the 7th Annual Charity Walk. The details are as follows:

Date: 19 April 2009/Sunday
Time: 7.30am
Venue: Dewan Sivik Petaling Jaya(near MPPJ)

The Blind or visually impaired will lead the sighted but blindfolded on the 3KM walk, thus giving the sighted the opportunity to EXPERIENCE blindness to value sight and to appreciate teamwork and have fun and raise the much needed funds for the poor who cant afford the eye operations. Anyone who wishes to join the charity walk are welcome.

2) Tun Hussein Onn National Eye Hospital(in sponsoring cataract operations and sight related diseases for the poor and needy)
3) Project Funds of Lions Club Petaling Jaya
4) Campaign Sight First II

For sight-related disease patients who did operation in other hospitals, they were charged RM3000-RM6000 for one eye. However, in Tun Hussein Onn National Eye Hospital, they only charge RM500-Rm600 for the patients who need operations.

Anyone can choose to donate to the poor and needy due to their willingness. :)
