As most of you know,Pinky has helped us to get permission from Sunway Medical Centre and they have agreed to let us have our distribution at their paediatric ward.The date for distribution is not confirmed yet.

We will be making an average of 3 cards each.Some members will also be making bookmarks,puzzles,paper weights and origami.Pinky might help to find some TOA students to perform some songs for the children as well.

edit:

here's a site that Sook recommended to me for ideas:

papercrafts

also,I found this amusing,and i'm thinking of printing a few of these,but it might be a bit expensive

Also,I have sent an e mail to SJMC to ask for permission for our project.

I am Tang Yeen Yee, a first year student at The One Academy. My fellow college mates and I would like to organize a community project at your hospital in December. We plan to have a greeting card distribution programme for you patients with the aim of spreading cheer to them over the coming holiday season.

In this project, 14 of my college mates plan to hand make greeting cards for free. Then, we hope to hand out the cards in person to your patients. The idea for this project came about when we came to know about a similar project that is currently being organized in the United States by an art community called DeviantArt., thus we decided that it would be more convenient for Malaysians who want to join the project to have their own project here in Malaysia.

Here is a link to the original DeviantArt newsletter containing information about their project.

We would like to ask the management of your hospital for permission to run this project and ideally have a prior meeting with your management to discuss our plan.

Sincerely,

Tang Yeen Yee.

HOLIDAY COMMUNITY PROJECT

I'm having a community project.It is similar to one being done currently by deviantArt. The plan is to handmake greeting cards to be sent to hospital patients( for those who want to join but are not in Selangor, you can sent files to be printed at last resort,or if your cards are CG work,although this would be more expensive, and less significant to the recepients).

Since dA's headquarters are in the US,it is not convenient nor cost efficient for us Malaysians to send our cards to the US to be distributed,so I'm having a card making and distributing project here,ideally at Subang Jaya Medical Centre, which is both near where I live and near TOA.

The aim of the project is to spread some cheer to the hospital patients over the year end holiday. We will distribute the cards around the new year. The cards are a sort of get well card,but please DO NOT write messages such as 'get well soon' as some patients are terminally ill.Write more neutral messages such as 'have a good day' or 'hope you are feeling better'.

Currently,I have 8 members including myself that have agreed to join this project:

-Yi Lyn

-Simone

-Dom

-Talissa

-Joe

-Joyce

-Alex

This project is NOT confirmed yet.I am still waiting for replies from other people and still do not know the exact number of participents.However,after I am sure, I will still have to send an e mail to the hospital management to ask for permission to send out the cards as well as have a door to door personal delivery of the cards. If they agree to meet us,we will have to go to the hospital personally to ask for permission,only after that can we proceed with the project.

Please spread the word to anyone who you think might be interested to join the project,after all one person can only make a few cards but there are so many patients.

Artistic ability is only second to your good intentions,and we do not necessarily have to make cards, other ideas such as delivering balloons or poems and just chatting to patients is also welcome, so do not worry about making a good looking card or anything.
