Haiti Cholera Relief 2010. Dr Amy Osborne

The organizers of Rose Charities also pay tribute and gratitude to the professional women volunteers (nurses, physicians, counselors, logisticians etc) who have contributed over 50% of involvement, organization and sustainability of emergency relief and ‘post-relief’ operations Rose Charities and close partners AMDA have played over the years.  Their magnificent work has helped tens of thousands of victims in many parts of the globe.

The Mutiara Rini Dog Shelther in Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia, is funded and managed by a few Singaporeans who spend weekends there caring for some 160 abandoned dogs. On 11 February 2012, Rose Singapore trooped across the border with a group of 14 volunteers to help bathe the doggies and clean up the shelter.

The program kicked off with breakfast at a JB coffee shop before heading off to the shelter.

The experience of being amongst the dogs was quite indescribable. If one can overcome the initial shock of encountering 160 barking beasts, you’d find creatures of the sweetest disposition – loving, cheeky, shy, grouchy, aloof, playful…

The dogs had to be lured, coxed, chided or simply forced into the bath tubs. Each bath consisted of 3 steps – soap, wash and disinfect, in that order.

It was an afternoon of pure physical exertion, but the difficulty was in parting with the doggies after.

To join us in our next doggie visit, stay in touch with us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/RoseCharitiesSG

In December 2011, Rose Singapore collaborated with Beyond Social Services and Peoples’ Association Youth Executive Committee (PAYEC) to organize a half-day Christmas Carnival for 200 children and 50 caregivers. The children, aged 4 – 14, were identified from the 6 centres managed by Beyond Social Services. They came from under-privileged homes – identified as those with low income single parents, a parent or parents serving prison sentences or suffering from drug abuse.

Prior to the event, a call went out to family and friends for donations of books and toys as Christmas presents. We were overwhelmed by the response.  Calls, texts and emails came from people we barely knew, who dropped off a mountain of presents. Our deepest appreciation goes out to those who contributed. You know who you are.

With the help of some 50 volunteers on the day itself, we staged an afternoon of activities for the kids – which included balloon sculpturing, face painting and treats like pizza, cupcakes, ice-cream and bubble tea.

Rose Singapore would like thank our sponsors for helping us make this happen.

After helping Old Folks and Children, Rose Charities will like to invite you to join us on another meaningful cause.
We will be organizing a trip to JB M’sia to help bath the doggies and clean up the shelter.
This shelther is currently manage by a Singaporean who spent every weekend there to take care over 150 dogs.

We would like to share this beautiful photo report and write-up by a participant of our recent visit to the AWWA (Asian Women’s Welfare Association) home for the elderly:

“Make them smile. Make their day. When they smile, you smile. It’s just that simple. This was what I realised yesterday. Helping out became the main objective, sidestepping picture-taking, although I managed a few shots in between.”

"Give" by Louis Wang

“Send a tin of milk” was a project to send milk power to babies in Thailand in the wake of the flooding disaster. Through donations from sponsors and help from contacts, we purchased some 1,500 tins of milk and procured the necessary transport links to send the items by road from Malaysia into Thailand.

“Send a tin of milk” was quickly followed up by “Send a pack of love” as Rose Singapore extended our focus to providing canned and dry food to the Thai people. This has resulted in a 2nd shipment to Thailand.

Below is a copy of our official letter to the The Chaipattana Foundation – a foundation of the Thai king himself, requesting for acceptance of the food stuff as donations. This would otherwise have been subject to an import tax.

Crossroads of SE Asia

We are a mix of many peoples;  we are a mix of many histories; we are a mix of many religions  and cultures; our island nation lies at the cross-roads of S.E. Asia.   We seek to live in peace  and happiness with each other but  to use this to help others where we can.   This is the aim of Rose Charities Singapore.  We will strive to achieve it
