KL Marathon Challenge: Excel-erating to a Better Community

Toe Jammers is fundraising for Yayasan Scomi

My Story

Dear Family and Friends,  

We will be running for a good course in the forthcoming Standard Chartered KL Marathon on the 4 October 2015 in both the 10km and 21km categories. In collaboration with Yayasan Scomi, we will run to raise funds to help elevate young children’s literacy and numeracy via the Literacy and Numeracy Screening (LINUS) programme.

The LINUS programme is different from other initiatives. It focuses on early intervention to help pupils from the age of 6 – 7 to ensure that they acquire the basic literacy and numeracy skills after three years of mainstream primary education. With basic literacy skills, the children will have the ability to read, write, and understand words and complex sentences in Bahasa Malaysia and apply such knowledge in learning and everyday communications. In addition, basic numeracy will allow the children to utilise the acquired mathematical skills and knowledge in everyday activities involving time, currencies and measurements.

So far, this programme has achieved encouraging results, with children recording an average score of 99.5% in the screening test done in 2013 compared to below 50.0 % in the first screening test in 2008.

The funds will also be channeled to organise programmes and training sessions for both parents and teachers to ensure that they are updated with new methods of handling children with learning difficulties. 
 
As part of our pledge to be a responsible corporate citizen, Scomi is supporting this initiative and we are aiming to raise RM10,000. All proceeds will go to:
1. Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungei Way, Petaling Jaya
 2. Sekolah Kebangsaan Senawang, Negeri Sembilan 
 3. Sekolah Kebangsaan Jalan Bukit, Kedah 
 4. Sekolah Kebangsaan Temeyong, Langkawi 
 5. Sekolah Kebangsaan Kerupang, Labuan 

What can we do with the raised funds?

RM2000 - Laptop
RM3000 - Educational aids/materials
RM3500 - Awareness program for parents
RM5000 - Teachers training course (3-5 days) inclusive of accommodation  for 3 - 5 pax 

So, let’s come together in support of this and touch the lives of our future leaders.

Every little bit counts, as the Malay proverb goes, “Sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit!” 
(Translation: “Every little bit builds into a mountain in the long run”)

We know we can count on you for your donation. You donate, we will run and run and run….for you, for the children!   We thank you for your kind generosity. You are making a difference for a child.
    
So, Keep Calm and Dig Deep into your pocket!
