Volunteer

I was touched by a Mr Yap who came with his wife Ms Ong to my office during lunch time to offer his service as volunteer for MBPJ's Disabled People Transit Service. Mr Yap is retiring this coming June and he would like to contribute to the society in which he has been doing in the past as a part timer. According to him, before knowing about the service offered by MBPJ, he has been thinking to drive a van to pick up patients from general hospital and send them home. This idea comes about during his bed ridden days in the hospital in which he noticed that poor patients cannot afford to commute and have to rely on free ride did occur.

Mr Yap's offer is commendable and certainly we need more people with big heart like him. We are asking him to play the role as coordinator for this service. If no other hindrance, Mr Yap will serve in our call centre to receive bookings and to arrange for services. A feel good day.

Considering to be volunteer and be part of Friends of Local Agenda 21 PJ?
