Malaysian Mirror : Selling art to build rural school hostel

KUALA LUMPUR – Art, a medium pertaining to the senses of beauty and aesthetics, now plays its role as a fund raiser for the building of a rural school hostel in Kiulu, Sabah.

The project, a collaboration involving some ex-students of the Mara Junior Science College (MRSM) in Kulim, Galeri Chandan and the Sabah Credit Corporation, intends to raise RM200, 000 for the SMK Tun Fuad Stephens dormitory.

Forty-four artists nationwide came together for the I Miss Him So Much charity drive, in memory of a Year Five pupil who tragically took his own life in March 2007 to ease his hardcore poor family’s financial burden.
