This year instead of writing a letter to Santa with my wish list I decided to write to all my family and friends with my Christmas list. I started early because it is not a short list and not for me-it is for my Street Friends whose home is the streets of Kuala Lumpur.
This year after my ARTS FESTIVAL and raising that little money for PIT STOP COMMUNITY CAFE, I told my parents I wanted to do this project. So after much research as to the things needed, my mom and I came up with a name.
It's called BLESSING IN A BACKPACK @ PROJECT TIKAR- for the homeless on the streets of K.L.
My target is to collect via generous donations from family and friends 100 of each item (more is a blessing)

You can help to collect or donate the items yourselves.
You may donate any items on the list or make up a bag with all the items. All items collected will be passed on to Pit Stop Community Cafe and they will distribute them to the Street Friends
Project Tikar is a project that was birthed to provide tikar (rattan mats) to the homeless in KL. Giving out the mats to these Street friends means that he /she will not have to sleep on cold concrete that night. It will mean a better night’s rest without water seeping through their cardboard beds. It will mean that they have an extra layer of comfort plus all the other small essentials to make life on the streets a little bit more tolerable.
