Milestone Progress- Penang Meeting 25th May 2011

Dear friends     

First of all, I would like to thanks Andrew, Wong, Kai Sheong, Lih Fong and Adrian (who I met a day later personally) for their precious time on 25th May to listen to my proposal for the Round the World charity drive.

There are few proposals made for the trip and we have also received sincere sponsorship and support from close friends.

Summary of meeting on 25th May 2011 (12months and 1week to go)

1) Kai Sheong aka The Specialist, agreed on the use of Land Rover Discovery V8 model and shall start look up for available unit in Sabah sometime next month. Kai Sheong will take the lead on preparing the monster V8 for the trip and familiarization on her for the next 12months. 

2) Adrian King, being a 'local' to Sabah has volunteered to provide relevant contacts to Kai Sheong for his easy reference to search for our new monster wheel.

3) Andrew and Wong, both from Penang have showed tremendous support both mentally and manpower for the trip. As both of them are from the event and marketing industry, no doubt that their inside view and opinion stands and they are most valuable for us to kick start the charity drive. Andrew has offered his expertise to provide a proper website to our trip in a nearer date once we are into the planning stage (6months from now)

4) Steve reminded all that this is solely all assistant rendered into this project is solely for charity purposes and no any type of monetary will be paid to anyone. All money collected will channel into a charity fund for the needy orphanage in Penang and PFS Foundation (subject to OFA and PFS involvement)- PFS= Penang Free School, OFA= Old Frees Association

5) L Fong has agreed to work hand in hand with Andrew and his team for the charity drive which set to benefit the may under privileged children in Penang and along the trip. A few suggestions given as how to maximum the charity drive:

a- collect old edition and unused children's book from the public and Penang state library and children library. We shall carry with us collected books for free distribution among the childrens home along the journey.

b- collection of public donation for the good course of children's welfare. None of the cash collected will be use for the trip but in fact will channel 100% to the needy homes. 

c- work closely with interested secondary schools in Penang to use the trip as a study platform and to show to fellow Malaysian that nothing is impossible.

5) Mr Lee aka HaHa Lee is interested to compile all beautiful picture taken along trip for coffee table book compilation. Suggested part of the profit from sales to channel to charity.

I have to admit that we are now at the very infant stage of our dream but nevertheless we have good progress as long as all us are doing our part. 

Thank you once again and welcome to the exciting journey of once in a lifetime.
