Sunshine Home , Petaling Jaya


The Sunshine Home is located in Jalan Templer, Petaling Jaya, near Assunta Girl's School. The Sunshine Home is an old folks home which true to it's nam, hands the old folks a bit of sunshine in their lives . Their friendly workers try their best to be like sons and daughters to them, feeding them, helping them and spending as much time with them as possible.

The impressive facilities in this home are more than satisfactory, with 19 beds and a choice of either a single room, or a bigger double room. The upstairs living room is also equipped with Astro for those old folks that enjoy catching dramas or the news. Showers with water heaters are also part of this home and all rooms are air conditioned. For their safety, there are bed-side call panels in case of emergencies. Physiotherapy is also provided if needed.

The home itself is a white, two story bungalow with ample lawn space for outdoor activities. The Sunshine Home Petaling Jaya’s goal is to build a lift so that it will be easier for the old folks and they will not need to climb stairs as their branch in Penang already has a lift.

The staff there said that the old folks that stay there normally come to them sad and silent, which is understandable as they probably feel abandoned by their children or because they are lonely and the staff there try to be as much of a family to them as they can. Homes like these that don't give the sense that they are in a special home but instead make the atmosphere cosy and comfortable like a real home by giving these old folks a ray of sunshine in their lives.

Shelter is a registered welfare organization. It has been in existence since 1981 to help abused, abandoned, neglected or at-risk children. Shelter Home for Children was started by a group of seven friends who wanted to help the children in a squatter settlement along Old Klang Road. The group decided to rent a single storey bungalow in Section 12, Petaling Jaya and decided to bring one of the families from the settlement who had been evicted from their house to stay in the house in Section 12.

Shelter established 10 kindergartens, the first one being in Damansara Dalam (1989). Shelter then, decided to close down the kindergarten after 15 years of operation because they noticed a dramatic drop in the number of students attending their kindergarten. They decided to move into a more dramatic approach in helping disadvantaged children by being a positive influence on teenagers.

Now, they have set-up a youth community centre called Drop Zone. This is place for teenagers to hang out, where the purpose is on the personal development of youths aged 13-20 through healthy and positive activities.




Due to certain conditions, Shelter decided to set up Shelter 2 in 1987, Shelter 3 in 1995, Shelter 4 (1996) and later, Shelter 5 (2001). Each 5 Shelters has their different purposes. Shelter 1 is a home for children from 4 to 12 years of age who has been abused, neglected, at-risk or abandoned by their families, parents or guardians.  Shelter 2 is a home for teenage girls aged from 13 to 18 years. It is located in Kuala Lumpur. Teenage boys aged from 13 to 18 are placed in Shelter 3.

OrphanCARE

OrphanCARE is a non-profit non-governmental organization whose objective is to give orphans and abandoned babies in Malaysia the love, care and security of a family in line with their tagline ‘Every Child Needs a Family'. Registered on April 28th 2008, OrphanCARE was launched a year later on April 25th, 2009 by its Patron HRH Sultanah Pahang Sultanah Hajjah Kalsom. OrphanCARE aims to help change society's mindset towards orphans, recognizing that children should not be left permanently in orphanages which should really only be 'transit points' before they are placed with families who can bring them up in a proper family structure.

OrphanCARE aims to work with the government to expedite the adoption process whereby abandoned and orphaned babies are placed with suitable parents. They plan to set up a Baby Hatch on OrphanCARE’s premises where mothers must be allowed to leave their babies without fear of prosecution.

OrphanCARE has the support of the Ministry of Women, Family & Community Development and is in fact working closely with the Ministry. The Ministry will shortly establish a Task Force to review and update the Adoption Acts, Registration Act etc and has invited OrphanCARE to be part of the task force. OrphanCARE also intends to work with other Government departments, NGOs, the media and members of the public towards achieving the above-mentioned objectives.

One of their main events were accompaning Jermaine Jackson, the famous pop singer and his wife during his visit to Asrama Damai Anak-Anak Yatim Kuang in Rawang, Selangor. They spent a few hours chatting heartily to the children.

In conclusion, OrphanCARE is not an orphanage but it is a transit centre for orphans and abandoned children before their adoption. They have about 100 volunteers and would like more. Anybody is able to donate. Their headquarters are situated at 6, Lorong SS1/24A, Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.This is a map to their location - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6+lorong+ss+1+%2F+24a&sll=3.104906,101.616669&sspn=0.008613,0.016512&ie=UTF8&ll=3.104746,101.617259&spn=0.008613,0.016512&z=17&iwloc=A You can contact them at contact@orphancare.org.my or visit their website http://www.orphancare.org.my Their contact number is 0378761900, 0378751900 and 0123938337.
