Autoworld Members Make a Donation to MERCY Malaysia
Autoworld Forummers and Car Clubs show they really care.
The Autoworld forum has been buzzing with news and comments about the recent Tsunami disaster that struck this part of the world, and thanks to the initiative by Michael from MyChevy Club, the forummers and other clubs affiliated to Autoworld, and the staff and management team of Autoworld got together and raised a total of RM3,688.00 for the Tsunami Fund.
Ironically, Michael’s nick in the MyCheyy Club forum is ‘saintmikal’. I guess that he is a true saint in the making, judging from his very compassionate actions. Malaysians are generally very caring, but it takes someone like saintmikal to start the ball rolling.
following the suggestion by Michael, the Autoworld forummers got together and sent in their personal donations to make up the fund. Other clubs that pitched in wholeheartedly were the VOCM (Volvo Owners Club Malaysia), and WISE(Wira Club).
MyChevy Club collected a total of RM1,600; VOCM members contributed RM850, while WISE managed RM900. The balance of RM338 was made up of contributions from the Autoworld staff and management. MyChevy Club also donated some medical supplies.
A cheque presentation witnessed by a small group of Autoworld staff and key Forum members was held at MERCY Malaysia’s headquarters in Ampang.
Although the sum of RM3,688 is a small amount compared to the billions raised around the world, and the millions raised here in Malaysia alone, it will still make an impact on some of the people at the receiving end.
Autoworld is glad that its members could contribute in whatever small way to a good cause. According to Mercy Malaysia, donations of cash, bottle water, high energy biscuits, and medical supplies are urgently sought.
