Location: Nanyang Wall, Batu Caves
Date : 10th and 11th Jan 2009
Time: 11am – 4pm
Fees : RM 20 / pax (All proceeds will go to the charity)
Kirtarsh Handicapped and Disabled Children’s Home
This centre was established in Bukit Beruntung with 2 residents but today, the centre is supporting up to 47 residents whose background range from children with Down Syndrome to under privileged children from crisis homes and old folks, with ages between 3 to 84 years old. The purpose of this centre is to provide vocational training, special education, shelter, food, medication and love. This is a non-profit, non-political and non-religious centre.
Apart from relying on generous contributors, the upkeep of the centre is through sales of souvenirs designed and hand made by the children such as key-chain holders, road tax stickers, pens, posters, bookmarks and children educational materials.
They are in need of a new home to cater for more children. They also need a van to ferry the children to and from school, clinic and outings. Their monthly expenses average at close to RM14,000 per month.

Thank`s a lot,
Fortunately with the very kind help of Mr. Meng, we managed to get there and be there for charity climb, as well as the week after for a very pleasant and fun day with fellow climbers over there. We were completely shocked as we received a very warm welcome from Nanyang wall climbers community. They even provide us rope and whole set of quick draws and let our day to rock!
Me and my friends are very happy and thankful to find such nice and professional guys here in Malaysia. For sure, we will be there at Nanyang more. There’s a lot we can learn from you guys and we hope we can contribute, although it might be so little, to -as they noted- a group of nature loving friends.

Dear Behnam,
I’m so sorry that I have only now seen your message… too bad the event is over last weekend. Am not sure why you could not reach the organisers… however, if you are really interested in outdoor climbing then u can always go to nanyang wall every weekend… there will be climbers there. And if u still want to contribute to the charity, then this saturday GreenTrekkerz will still be there (at nanyang wall) to collect some equipment… so u can come as well…
Drop us a line if you need more information.
Regards,
Akandos.
