It is the 1st charity ride co-organized by a group of kind hearted and dedicated Kledang Cyclists Ipoh and Leo Club of Sam Tet. The aim of it is to serve the community, to promote the importance of going green and keeping our environment clean .Our main focus is to bring happiness to old folks home and orphanage . We Ride , We Serve is our slogan. Around 40 professional cyclists and 15 Leos were present that day. We were very honour to have RCC Lion Mary Goh, District Leo Cabinet President, Leo Eliza Chia as well as representatives from Leo Club of Ipoh Unity for joining this meaningful project with us. On that day morning, we all gathered at the starting point (Pertubuhan Meningkat Akhlak Chi Pee Seah) and had a short briefing by Vice Organizing Chairperson, Leo Henry Lam. Our first pit stop for this charity project was Yayasan Latihan Insan Istimewa Ipoh. All cyclists started their journey happily. We spent around half an hour there. We distributed some mandarin oranges, angpau as well as water containers to them. Although this was the first charity project carried out by Kledang Cyclists, they managed to do their best and cooperate with Leo Club of Sam Tet. We ended our visit there by donating a total cash of RM1000 to the Home and successfully brought the happiness to them.
Next, we proceed to the Pusat Jagaan Our Ideal Home that is located in Kampung Simee. The journey from our first pit stop to there was 8m. We had to thanks a lot for the protection and helping of the Superbikes through all the journey. As like just now, we had a chance to distribute some chinese new year foods and the most special was the old folks there welcomed us happily by singing a Christian song for us. We also took the chance to chat with them and wished eveyone with Happy Chinese New Year.
The third pit stop was The Home For The Aged Simee which just located nearby the second pit stop.It is a Non-Profit Organization serving the elder generation or our society. The Home is opened to all poor, homeless and abandoned elderly folks of all races and religion. We decided to spend around 2 hours there as at present 53 residents staying there. We gave angpau, mandarin oranges and some food to them. Although it was just a little gift from us, the old folks felt happy because we celebrated Chinese New Year with them this year. The cyclists had showed their caring to the old folks well by chatting and entertaining them.
After travelled along 15km journey, we had a rest by having our lunch at HD World near Jusco. We had the best lunch buffet there.(everything is the best when we are hungry. Hahahahah)
After that, we proceed to the Hannah Home. This was the last pit stop before we back to the starting point. There was around 30 kids there. Sadly, we found that there was an orphans which just 3 years old. We distributed all the gifts to them and took a few of group photo.Alfred, organizing chairperson from Kledang Cyclists had led the cyclists well by having some fun with the orphans.
Finally, it came to the end after travelled along 20km for this charity project. We donated a total cash of RM3500 to Pertubuhan Meningkat Akhlak Chi Pee Seah as well as had a memorable and happy ending.
We Ride, We Serve.
