Shufiyan Shukur
Yayasan Kebajikan Suria Kawasan Permas Johor Bahru, affectionately known as Yayasan Suria, a prominent charity organization headquartered in Johor Baru, has taken a unique step towards securing a permanent facility for its operations with the launch of the ‘Donate a Brick’ campaign.
The campaign aims to raise funds for the acquisition of a two-story building that will serve as the organization’s ‘House of Love & Humility,’ accommodating essential administrative functions and providing space for volunteers.
Innovative fund raising approach
To bring their vision to fruition, Yayasan Suria has undertaken a creative fundraising initiative. This innovative approach ensures not only the sustenance of the organization but also the promotion of community engagement.
James Ho, the founder and secretary of Yayasan Suria, expressed the organization’s vision for the new building, stating, “We’ll have rooms on the first floor for outstation volunteers, and we’ll rent the other rooms to help defray the cost of utilities and other expenses incurred in running Yayasan Suria.”
In a bid to finance the building project, Yayasan Suria is calling upon the generosity of the public to contribute a minimum of RM888.00 each, directing these funds towards a building fund target of RM800,000. In a gesture of gratitude, donors’ names will be etched onto bricks that will adorn the walls of the House of Love & Humility, symbolizing their everlasting commitment to the cause.
There will be a fund-raising dinner on 19 November at a prominent restaurant in Johor Bahru.
Yayasan Suria: Cultivating compassion and philanthrophy
The essence of the campaign extends beyond financial support; it strives to cultivate a legacy of compassion and philanthropy.
Donors are granted the liberty to choose the names they wish to have inscribed on the bricks—be it their own name, that of a loved one, a cherished friend, a respected company, or even an anonymous dedication.
Yayasan Suria envisions these engraved names as a wellspring of inspiration for future generations, fostering gratitude and empathy.
The present office is situated in Johor Jaya, and the new headquarters is a short distance away.
James Ho passionately remarked, “This is a remarkable opportunity to bring about positive change in the lives of others and in your own life as well. By donating a brick, you contribute to the construction of this Home of Love and Humility. Together, we lay the foundation for Yayasan Suria JB’s enduring mission.”
