Beds for Boys
There are not too many Apexians in any of the 7 Apex countries that do not know off me or all the work I do for fundraising for a good cause:
· India - I helped build a Girls Orphanage for up to 200 girls & I have helped feed the poor in the North and South.
· Singapore - They have help me with a fund raiser for the Philippines Bursary on shaving my hair
· Malaysia - I have, helped with a couple of veggie gardens for the needy, put RM 3000.00 in the Educational Trust Fund. Placed a motion before a convention to put AUD $36,000.00 in to the Klang Special School from Apex Australia. I’ve helped put trees in the ground and computers in the school... and more!
· Philippines - has been on the receiving end of all my hard work for the Bursary Program for 5 years and my head shave which put over PHP 350,000 in the bank ($7,500 AUD), & moved a motion to ASPAC & Global so a fundraiser for Cyclone Frank would commence.
· Bangladesh – I have actively put motions forward to fundraise for Cyclone Sidar victims, not one but two from my State and my Club producing approximately Dhaka 175,000.00 AU $3300.00.
· Fiji – Promoted a motion for Queenslanders to undertake a Bursaries Pilot Program in Fiji, and I have assisted with fundraising efforts for recent devastating floods.
· Australia - what can I say I have put 16 years into many communities and many hours of service work and funds I would never like to count
I have one last official project that I’m fund raising for and to-date the Waikerie Apex Club have committed to giving $300 AUD, from recent sales of Apex Global pins in Bangladesh another $175 AUD.
What I’m asking of Apexians or Apex Clubs is to help me help put homeless boys into beds in Malaysia. I need per boy in Malaysia about 120 RM this for a bed and bedding and a small cupboard for their belongings. There is a Boy’s Home in Ipoh Malaysia that needs 24 beds. To date fundraising efforts have got me to the 9 mark and now I need your help!
If you would like to pledge funds to this great cause please e-mail me at willy-oates@bigpond.com
I would like to think we could as Apex Global do this together to help put
“MORE Orphan BOY’S in MORE BEDS.”
Please help make my dream our collective reality!
Your friend forever,
Ian “Willy” Oates
