Sabah Branch Cares for the Underprivileged

In December 2006, the MIA Sabah Branch Committee, led by its Chairperson, Alexandra Thien, visited the Don Bosco Home for Children in Ranau. Home to 91 children ranging from six to 19 years who come from underprivileged families with no access to schools, these children stay in the shelter during the school terms. The shelter is highly dependent on public funding. At the home, Thien presented a cheque to its representative Brother Ben after which the committee made a visit to about 40 senior citizens at the Holy Family Residence for Senior Citizens in Papar. Thien presented the MIA donation to a representative from the home, Sister Patricia, while the rest of the committee and management centre staff donated food and grocery items.
