Benevolent Master Shi Kong Chan, with the noble aim to help those old folks without home and family support has established Anning Environment Preservation-Community Welfare Centre at Hume Street, Ipoh, on 13 May, 2013. The centre provides free lunch for these old folks and planned to set up nursing home in future when they are sick as well as to extend caring for them before their lives come to an end.
After nearly 8 months since its establishment, this welfare centre has successfully enlisted the generous contributions among the kind-hearted donors as well as the scarification of those volunteers to provide about 200 old and poor, homeless folks nutrition lunch, thus relieve their agony of hunger. Other than this, we also arrange trained-volunteers from welfare society to conduct medical check-up for these old, homeless folks. Our benevolent Master Shi Kong Chan, with the practice of the teachings of Buddha, i.e. to share warmthand happlnes to those old folks without home enlisted contributions of the generous donors together with the help of the volunteers, to hold cultural festival celebrations,such as the moon cake festival, the arrival of Winter and last day before the Chinese New Year for these old homeless folks, so that they would enjoy the warmth and happiness as if just like the reunion celebration of their homes. The spirit of sharing and caring each other, the love and kindness that manifested through the caring of the old and homeless folks is the main aim of the establishment of Anning Environment Preservation-Community Welfare Centre.
