For the luncheon, my sincere thanks and appreciation to Ms. Fan of Yuet Sum Hin Restaurant (ex-Lion Henry's auntie) who sponsored 4 yummy vegetarian dishes, Lion Jo made chicken cheese balls, Lion Kat sponsored 30 pcs yong tau foo and Lion Jessie made sweet sour fish.

Henry's friend Mr. Yong Kuan Hon and Ms. Celine sponsored 2 bags 10-kilo rice and a few packets of biscuits.


The project ended with Ms. May Wong personally handing out ang pow to the 22 inmates. Ms Ho later took the Leos and Henry's guests to view the Taman Yarl children's home. Here I wish to acknowledge cash sponsorship of RM250 from my friends Cindy & William Tan too.
