3 AMANAH 2010: Ronald Mcdonald Charities House Malaysia :)

Formerly known as the Ronald Mcdonald Children's Charities Fund of Malaysia (RMCC) , the Ronald Mcdonald House Charities Malaysia (RMHC Malaysia) was established in Malaysia in February 1990 . Their main goal has always been to lend a helping hand to less fortunate children for a brighter future . Their main focus are in three areas , health , education and welfare .
The first Ronald Mcdonald House in the ASEAN region was established in 1999, and is one of the 280 Ronald McDonald Houses in the world. Located at the Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (formerly known as Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia), this "home away from home" is to accommodate families from outside Kuala Lumpur whose children are seeking medical treatment at the hospital.

RMHC Malaysia also runs the Gift of Smile Campaign for children born with cleft lip and palate defects and whose parents are unable to support their corrective surgery. Under this campaign, these children will be able to undergo corrective surgery at no additional costs. The Gift of Smile Campaign is in partnership with Pantai Hospitals Sdn. Bhd. and ING Insurance Bhd.
The Ronald Mcdonald Sensory Room is another project for children with learning disabilities. RMHC Malaysia donates multi-sensory equipment to centres for the teaching and equipping of these special children, where it has been proven to help special children be more attentive.

In 1997, RMHC Malaysia started Tunas Wawasan. The program is designed to financially assist students with academic potential from low income families. First began in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, this program has now expanded nationwide.

Every year, RMHC Malaysia organizes various functions during festive seasons to enable children in welfare homes to be part of the festivities that other children may take for granted.
Various donations are also made throughout the year to help financial-distressed parents meet medical expenses for their children or to children whose families have experienced natural catastrophes.

The first Ronald McDonald House in Malaysia was completed in 1999. It is the second in Asia and the first in the ASEAN region. It is located on the premises of the Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (PPUKM) and was built at a cost of RM2 million. Officially opened by YAB Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah binti Haji Mohd Ali, the wife of the former Prime Minister on 21st June 1999, the facility has 19 bedrooms with attached bathrooms and common areas such as the kitchen, dining area, TV lounge and laundry room.

At the lavishly-decorated Ronald McDonald House, these families can have an air-conditioned bedroom for 3 persons with an attached bathroom, prepare their own meals, relax in the TV lounge, make use of the computer facilities, and most importantly, bond and encourage other families who are also in the similar situation.Funding for the Ronald McDonald House is from RMHC Malaysia's various fund raising activities. Ongoing support in the form of donations of food and drink is provided by companies like Nestle, MacFood and Havi Food.
