BURSA MALAYSIA’S VISIT

NASAM played host to five visitors from Malaysia and two from Sapura Secured Technologies on 24 March 2009. The visit is to enable the visitors to learn more about NASAM as well as to understand how the donation of RM87,000 that NASAM received last year from the Bursa/The Edge Rat Race was put to use.

Margaret and Shen briefed the visitors on NASAM’s activities and also gave an insight into our set-up via a powerpoint presentation and the NASAM video on Stroke Support in Malaysia. The visitors showed great interest by asking several questions.

They were entertained by strokees singing Rasa Sayang and also observed a group speech therapy session.

HAIRCUT DAY’S BACK

Some strokees and carers at NASAM PJ sported a new look after hair stylist Ken from Coiffure Ken came by on 24 March 2009 to give them a haircut.

Ken, introduced by Founder Chairman Janet Yeo, is offering his services pro bono. He will be coming every last Tuesday of the month, so do register on the list which will be put up a week earlier. RM5 collected for each haircut will go towards NASAM PJ’s Kitchen Fund.

STROKEES’ SWINGING TIME DOWN SOUTH

Twenty strokees, carers and volunteers from NASAM Ampang led by Physio-in-charge Annie Ng, had a swinging time in Singapore from 18 – 20 March 2009. They toured various places of interest including the Science Centre, Merlion and went shopping at Orchard Road.

Although they did not manage to attend NASAM JB’s fundraising dinner on 20 March 2009, they very kindly donated a sum of RM260 to NASAM JB for the occasion.
