My Christmas experience at Sai Pandian Home

If there is one thing that I could fill a home with, it would be with words. Powerful words of that uplifts the spirit at every corner of the house. Nuggets of inspiration that is more potent than the smell of coffee in the morning. I didn't have to scribble the walls of Sai Pandian Home to make that happen. All they needed were mugs!

Mugs can be used as motivational tools for daily living.

Sai Pandian Home in Setia Alam is refuge to 22 children, 3 single mothers and 2 old folks. With a family that large, mugs can be great bearers of positive words as they stir their beverages wherever they are at home. Imagine seeing your brother's mug of Milo with the words "I can do it!" on the day of your exam or catching a glimpse of the words "Don't give up!" on the day you did not do well. Those words could just be the thing that save your soul. Creating such mugs was the perfect task for Printcious, a company who specializes in personlized gifts.

In the spirit of giving during Christmas, Printcious and I have collaborated to share happiness and joy with the residents of Sai Pandian Home. Out of items like pillow cases, t-shirts, jigsaw puzzles, mousepads and decorative tiles, we decided on specially printed mugs personalized with photographs, names and specially picked motivational quotes. On Christmas eve, my friends and I marched to the home in Setia Alam to present the meaningful gifts to them, not knowing that an even bigger present was waiting for us. Read on to know what it is!

Telematch makes everyone erupt with joy!

Volunteers also had their chance to play

As we slough through our daily routine, we build barriers that make us hostile. As much as we want to uphold the righteousness we were taught to have, sometimes we hide away our kindness to battle on and survive. This was an opportunity for us to sweep all our indecency away and to be reminded that love and kindness has always been the right way.

Prayer for the children

May all of you be well and happy!

Donation in kind to the home

Mugs, presents and donation were nothing compared to what they have allowed us to take home at the end of the day. Candid laughter, spontaneous mischief and pure joy were our gifts this Christmas. Our hearts were just fluffs of happiness when we said goodbye. 

Thank you to the children of Sai Pandian home!

Most of all, the visit sweetened our harried soul with love

All smiles

With these cute little ones

Merry Chirstmas and a Happy New Year!
