In conjunction with Amcorp’s 100th Anniversary, 100 Good Deeds Campaign, IT Support Department decided to join in the good cause by donating 10 units of used PCs to charity houses.  The used PCs were donated to Katsu Training & Development (4 units), House of Joy (3 units) and Rumah Juara (3 units).

Working in cooperation with Rumah Charis Autism & Learning Disabilities (LD) Center, Katsu Training & Development was founded by Pastor Serena Teo in April 2001 to conduct research and provide special training for children with learning disabilities.

The vision of Katsu Training & Development Centre is to build an education centre that would help foster greater understanding and support for children with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, attention-deficit disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or autism.

The centre provides educational services, training and support for the children and their families. Children with learning difficulties are unable to master the required basic concepts to deal with their existing level.

With the donated PCs, we hope that these children can acquire some basic skills for their early education stage and can fit into the school system better so that they may have a brighter future.

House of Joy has been established since 1st August 1992.  The founders are Rev. Tang Chee Sing and his wife Lee Ching Mun.  Their main objectives are to protect, shelter and provide a loving and caring homely environment for orphans, under privileged children and those from neglected, broken, abused and poor family as well as weak and destitute elders.  They also help delinquent and helpless single parented children and teens.

They have homes located in Taman Paik Siong, Taman Tenaga, Puchong Mas, Karak, Semenyih, Seri Kembangan, Jinjang and even one in China. House of Joy provides both male and female living units. Currently there are 140 residents in House of Joy.  70 of them are children and teenagers, there are 30 special children & young adults, 35 are old folks & 5 wheel chair ridden adults. 

The donated PCs will provide facilities and opportunities for them to develop the IT knowledge, work skills and living skills as well.

Rumah Juara is mainly a home for underprivileged children.   It was established as a non profit home in January 1998 and the centre gradually expanded to meet the growing needs of the children ranging in age from 4 to 18 years old.

Rumah Juara not only aims to provide basic needs of food, shelter and clothing, but also have visions to provide a conducive home environment that will mould and enhance self esteem and image.  In addition, they also promote academic development to enable the children to fulfil their future aspirations.
