HAPPINNESS CENTRE 快乐残障儿童中心

HAPPINNESS CENTRE is a save haven for the intellectually and physically challenged children of Melaka. This home was founded by Mr. Roy Collar, on 1st July 2000. Children who have no one to love or care for them are the first one to gain acceptance into this special home. Most of these precious children are either abandoned or come from very poor families. Some of them come from broken or single parent homes. Their families are not able to send them to institutions, workshops or day-care centres, which expect a monthly fee. Happiness centre on the other hand do not charge any fees, the reason being that the poor innocent children will be left to degenerate, because the families are not able to come up with the up-keep fee.

There are 35 inmates at our home and all are physically or mentally disable. Their ages range from 5 years to 34 years. We have 17 Chinese, 11 Malay and 7 Indian children. All of these special children are not able to fend for themselves, even for their most basic needs. 20 of them require pampers and 21 of them have to be fed. Most of these children have multiple disabilities ranging from cerebral palsy, polio paralysis, speech impairment blindness and mental disorders.

Happiness centre employs 10 caretakers to cater to the children's needs. Most of all we try to shower them with love and affection. The utmost priority of the centre is that the children are always clean and in pink of health. With GOD'S help and the generosity of the caring public, we try to keep this one-the-the state centre operational and hope to raise enough funds to buy own premises, so as to able to cater to more of these special children, who society has rejected but GOD has not. We try to give them a dignified life and hope that is some small way, they may be able to enjoy a little sunshine in their lives. We see them as GOD'S ANGLES on earth, pure and innocent, it's up to us to be able to recognize them.

We hope to able to carry on this work and get more of these special ones to our centre, with the help of the caring public.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, GOD said, so......
