What have we accomplished in this past week? We (Sowmya and I) headed down to United Voice, to teach the mentally disabled how to bake. They were taught how to make Chocolate Muffins as well as a Chocolate Cake.
They grasped the idea of it pretty quickly but they do still need guidance while working the batter.
How I feel? Aside from the lack of funds to carry out our project and only partial news coverage, we had fun teaching Intan, Pavala, Izzuddin, and Jennifer while some of the others looked on. The best part of it all was the look on their faces when the products were finished. They loved it.
Would I do it again? Definitely! The only discouraging part of this project was a 5 minute lecture on the economic downturn I recieved by a certain vendor and how he couldn't spare me 5 bags of flour as the company had no such allocation considering the recession swinging our way. It would have come up to LESS then RM20.
I'd like to thank those who followed my every tweet relentlessly and for those who supported me by giving your donations. It had helped a great deal although a larger contribution (in kind) especially from retail outlets would have saved us RM400 on ingredients that could have been spent on providing the United Voice employees lunch.

Hey guys,

She has partnered first runner-up Sowmya Krishnan to teach 3 women and 1 man, all of whom are mentally disabled.
They will be teaching them how to bake muffins and cakes to support themselves.
The muffins will be sold at Central Market in a bazaar on the 3rd of May and proceeds will go to the Kiwanis Job Training Center as well as the Human Trafficking Workshop fund.
The Chocolate Cake's will be sold at RM 25 per half kg and delivered to Mother's in conjunction with Mothers Day.
