A message from Mercy Relief.....
Enjoy a great meal of Nasi Lemak and do a good deed at the same time this weekend, Aug 26 (Sat) and Aug 27 (Sun) at Adam Road Food Centre and our branch at Malay Village Geylang Serai.The famous Selera Rasa Adam Road No 1 Nasi Lemak will donate $1 to MercyRelief for every nasi lemak it sells during the two days.
Here are more information from Mercy Relief :
The money collected is to help Mercy Relief cover it’s operating costs.Mercy Relief had devoted it’s energies during the year 2005 in respondingto two main disasters
(1) Asian Tsunami 2004 and
(2) Pakistan Earthquake 2005.
The fund raising efforts were channeled to the humanitarian efforts of the two disasters.In the first half of 2006, Mercy Relief responded to the Mount Merapi Volcano, Jogjakarta Earthquake and West Java Tsunami 2006. In addition, we organized a mission to Pakistan where we brought 20,000 playpacks to thechildren in Pakistan affected by the earthquake in 2005. Since 2005, We have sent over 20 medical missions and hundreds of volunteers to assist inthe disasters. We are thankful for the volunteers for sacrificing their time, safety to help the victims. Locally, we are also thankful to have the involvement of thousands of Singaporeans who had volunteered their services in one form or the other in meeting the needs of the humanitarian missions.
As a result of our constant engagment, we did not have an opportunity to conduct any fund raising for ourselves. Currently, we only have a small operating budget that could last two to three months. Hence, we are looking forward to your generous support this weekend to help sustain the humanitarian efforts.
For those who have not heard of Mercy Relief, we are a Singaporean humanitarian agency whose mission is to respond to disasters by providing humanitarian aid to the victims of disaster. We had operated in close to 14 regional countries. Kindly check out our website www.mercyrelief.org for further information about us.
