The Star - Sep 8, 2007

“The Government will increase the allowance for disabled workers from RM200 to RM300 per month.” (this applies to those earning RM700 and less)

“The poor, disabled and single mothers can look forward to special assistance in Budget 2008″

“Tax deduction will also be allowed on renovation costs for the disabled incurred by employers in the workplace to encourage the private sector to hire disabled workers” 

The promotion and sale of cookies was our first major short term project.

The Mission helped Mary Josephine, a Deaf woman, to reap some earnings by encouraging her to utilise her baking skills. Mary was out of a job and without an income then. Through our networks, we promoted her talents. In connection with this project, the Mission also hired Deaf people to do home deliveries of these cookies, providing them an opportunity to earn allowances.

Seen here is a picture of Mary’s fine cookies.

Well, we’re going to miss those cookies this year. Mary has moved on to other initiatives and we wish her the very best in her plans going forward.
