2015 Touch A Life Project was carried out with the collaboration of S.O.S Kids Kuching (https://www.facebook.com/soskidskuchingsarawak)

Our club members started a fund raising for this project in the beginning of January 2015.  The total fund raised by the members is RM2800.  The total fund used for this project is RM1611.02. The remaining amount of RM1188.98 will be banked into club's project account.
 
From the list provided by S.O.S Kids Kuching, our club identified 6 kids with lung problem for our project this round.  The project was carried out on 7 Feb (9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.) where the club members and the members from S.O.S Kids  (Dr. Chor & family and Mr. Ong) visited 4 families located at Asajaya and Siburan respectively:

Kids & Family Visited: Age Location
1 Norkhairunnisa 3+ Asajaya
2 Shahidan 2+ Asajaya
3 Shahrul 1+ Siburan
4 Sebastian 2+ Siburan

The other 2 kids who we did not visit but donated the items through S.O.S Kids were:

Kids & Family: Age Location
1 David 1+ Matang
2 Faris 4+ Matang

Dr. Chor from S.O.S Kids is a dedicated doctor who spent a lot of his weekends driving around visiting these kids.  According to Dr. Chor, there are in total 70+ kids discharged from the hospital currently under S.O.S Kids Kuching's care.  The items that S.O.S Kids are seeking for sponsorship include:
