This is also thanks to a great partnership with Hotel Equatorial Kuala Lumpur and fantastic collaboration with many great people such as Nila Palacios, Lena Lim, Dr. T Selva, Tan Chong Meng, Rajen the Magician and Elke Wollschon.<\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/d2q0qd5iz04n9u.cloudfront.net\/_ssl\/proxy.php\/http\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/910acfda6401d40b906c30b62\/images\/DSC02637bb4720.JPG\" width=\"600\" height=\"369\" align=\"none\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>I went to Yayasan Sunbeams Home\u2019 homeschooling centre on a Sunday in March together with social media expert Lena Lim and we met up with Pastor Victor, his wife, a teacher and some kids and it was a great pleasure to see all the work that they do for orphaned children.Yayasan Sunbeams Home\u00a0cares and provides for orphaned, abused, neglected and abandoned children, and children from broken families, irrespective of their background or beliefs. I was in particular impressed with their home schooling programme and centre.<\/p>\n<p>A large number of the children have had problems integrating in the public school and to follow the curriculum. Therefore the management of the orphanage decided to teach the children themselves, following a home schooling programme. This has given happier kids who are learning more and the donation from my art show is going toward shelves in the school.<\/p>\n<p>The school employs 4 teachers and they need money each month to pay for them and to develop the school further so if you are looking for a charity to support, I think this is a very worthy cause.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about Yayasan Sunbeams Home here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sunbeamshome.org\/\">http:\/\/sunbeamshome.org\/<\/a>\u00a0 and like them on Facebook too please:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YayasanSunbeamsHome\">www.facebook.com\/YayasanSunbeamsHome<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I like the Yayasan Sunbeams Home concept so much that we have agreed that I will help teach the kids art and creativity and we are starting to prepare for this very soone. If you know who can support us with art materials and supplies, please let me know.<\/p>\n<p>I have actually been asked many times whether I teach art and creativity to children\u2026 now I will start on this at Yayasan Sunbeams Home as my community project and maybe later, if the demand is there, do something for children from families for a fee. More on this when I feel ready.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am still in awe after my last art exhibition \u201cColours of Life.
