（美里17日讯）马来西亚红新月会美里分会旗下的“社区关怀与保护”小组联合志愿救护队（VAD），于本月15日深入美里兰卑尔地区，开展爱心探访活动，为当地两户弱势家庭提供援助。此次活动得到当地Linggie长屋的屋的鼎力协助。
本次探访由“社区关怀与保护”小组主席乌玛戴维医生（Dr. Uma Devi） 率领，并为受访家庭带来一场实用的健康与环保讲座，涵盖以下重要议题塑料的危害、清洁卫生的重要性，以及健康饮食。
此外，美里市政局代表莫哈末索布里及戴央玛丽亚玛也参与交流讨论，向家庭介绍市政局可提供的相关服务，并指导如何向市政局报告社区问题。此外，市政局还赠送了“拒绝塑料”（Say No to Plastic）贴纸，提醒居民减少使用一次性塑料袋，改用环保袋。
为了进一步倡导环保，美里红新月会向家庭派发由匿名捐助者捐赠的不锈钢餐盒，鼓励减少一次性塑料容器的使用。与此同时，志愿者们还分发干粮、衣物及基本卫生用品，为受助家庭提供切实帮助。该会也特别向所有善心捐助者表示衷心感谢。
此次慈善探访是美里红新月会长期社会关怀计划的一部分，未来将持续开展更多类似活动，为有需要的家庭提供援助。该会也呼吁社会大众踊跃加入志愿服务行列或提供物资捐赠，共同为弱势群体带来温暖和希望。
15th March 2025, Saturday – The Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) Miri Branch, through its Community
Care & Protection unit and the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD), carried out a heartfelt charity
visit to support two underprivileged families in Lambir, Miri. This initiative was made possible
with the assistance of Tuai Rumah Linggie, the local community leader.
Dr. Uma Devi, Chairperson, Community Care and Protection Sub-Committee, led the visit,
delivering an educational talk on key health and environmental topics, including:
Dangers of Plastics – Raising awareness about harmful plastic usage.
Importance of Cleanliness – Encouraging good hygiene practices.
Healthy Food – Promoting better nutritional choices.
The visit continued with an insightful discussion led by Mr. Mohd Shobri and Mdm. Dayang
Mariamah from the Miri City Council, who explained various services available to the families
and how to report issues to the Council. The Council also provided a "Say No to Plastic" sticker
for the families' doors — a reminder to choose eco-friendly bags over single-use plastics.
As part of the campaign against plastic use, MRC Miri distributed stainless steel food
containers, donated by a group of anonymous benefactors. MRC Miri Branch extends its heartfelt
gratitude to these generous donors. Alongside the containers, volunteers distributed dry food,
clothing, and essential hygiene items.
This charity visit is part of an ongoing effort by MRC Miri Branch to support vulnerable
communities, with more visits planned in the future. MRC Miri encourages more volunteers and
donors to join this meaningful cause to uplift the local community.
