Message from

the chairperson

I read a story once about a lesson learned by a man who encountered a boy and a starfish on a deserted beach. As he walked along the beach, the man noticed a young boy in the distance who kept bending down, picking up something and throwing it into the sea. Upon closer inspection, he realised that the boy was picking up starfish that had been washed up along the beach and, one at a time, was throwing them back into the water. The man asked the boy what he was doing and the boy replied, “I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they will die through lack of oxygen.” “But,” said the man, “You can’t possibly save them all, there are thousands of them and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can’t possibly make a difference.” The boy smiled, bent down and picked up another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, “Well, I just made a huge difference to that one.” This story drives home the point that no effort spent on helping others is ever wasted. If we go through life helping just one other human being, we would have made a difference in his or her life. And this is what Vijayaratnam Foundation (VF) is all about – helping the individual as well as the community through its mission of Empowering Lives, Transforming Communities. This mission is translated through four pillars that characterise our work: education; community development; environment; arts and culture. Over the past year, we have focused most of our endeavours in the area of educating children and youth in different ways, because we believe that the best way to transform young lives is through education. Two of our major projects – Footprints and Maharani – encapsulate this belief. Footprints is a mentoring programme aimed at pairing underprivileged children from welfare homes with adults who would nurture them and teach them much-needed values to prepare them for life ahead. The mentors for the pilot

programme were employees of the QI Group of companies who were carefully selected, trained and paired with the children. This programme turned out to be a moving experience for the children, but more so for the mentors, proving the point that it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive. The success of the programme has prompted the QI Group to incorporate it into their corporate social responsibility framework and I am happy to say that Footprints is well into its second year. At this juncture, I would like to state that we welcome the participation of other corporations and would be happy to help them adapt Footprints to their organisations. Our Maharani project comprises a series of motivational camps for adolescent girls. It is aimed at inculcating sound values and giving young girls a sense of hope so as to motivate them to achieve their aspirations. Studies have shown that educating females has a multiplier effect and that just a 1% increase in female education increases the gross domestic product by 0.37%. In 2010, we successfully conducted nine Maharani camps in various states in Malaysia for nearly one thousand young women. We are continuing the camps in 2011 as we would like to see more girls benefit from the program and to ensure sustainable development for those who have already attended. Another educational programme conducted by Vijayaratnam Foundation is Aruna, which is essentially a series of talks by successful entrepreneurs, including VF founder Dato’ Sri Dr. Vijay Eswaran, that is aimed at equipping them with entrepreneurial skills and motivating them to discover their true vocation. Aside from education, our other focus has been in arts and culture and the environment. In arts and culture, we collaborated with Pusaka, a foundation set up to chronicle and revive the cultural traditions of Malaysia, in its efforts to resurrect Main Puteri, a traditional Kelantanese theatrical form that incorporates elements of drama, dance and music.

Our foray into environmental issues was in the form of the 1 Murid 1 Pokok project, in which we worked with the Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya and several schools to inculcate a love for nature in young children. This was done by getting primary school children to plant a tree each and nurture it till they left the school. The Foundation continues to support other charitable organisations like the Hindu Youth Organisation, and conducts visits to various old folks’ and children’s welfare homes to bring festive joy into their lives. Our approach to CSR is a result-oriented one and we adopt a hands-on method to ensure we get the results we aim for. We also believe strongly that all CSR initiatives need to be characterised by sustainability. Our work may be but a drop in an ocean of need, but the onus is on us to try anyway. We subscribe to the statement made by Mahatma Gandhi who said, “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.” I would like to express my gratitude to all those who have tirelessly worked with me to conceive and implement all our initiatives. In the coming year I look forward to working with other private corporations, to join hands with them to help in “Empowering Lives, Transforming Communities”. Datin Umayal Eswaran Chairperson

BACKGROUND •••

Vijayaratnam Foundation was established in April 2006 by Dato’ Sri Dr. Vijay Eswaran, Executive Chairman of the QI Group. It is the Malaysian Chapter of RYTHM Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the QI Group of Companies. While maintaining close ties with the RYTHM Foundation, we work on an independent mission: Empowering Lives, Transforming Communities. The Foundation focuses on four main areas –education; community development; arts & culture; and the environment.

Vijayaratnam Foundation facilitates the inception and implementation of various initiatives and projects through its work with the public and private sectors, civil society, and the philanthropic community. While reaching out to the community at grassroots level, including impoverished families and disadvantaged members of society who are the main beneficiaries of our activities, the Foundation has also built ties and channelled our support to various charities and non-profit organisations in the country through our humanitarian projects.

The Inspiration: Mr. S. Vijayaratnam Vijayaratnam Foundation was founded by Dato’ Sri Dr. Vijay Eswaran to continue the philanthropic legacy that was started by his late father, Vijayaratnam Saravanamuthu, over 60 years ago. Born in 1934, the late S. Vijayaratnam was always a philanthropist at heart. A champion of youth empowerment, he founded the Malaysian Hindu Youth Organisation (HYO) in 1949 that went on to shape the lives of hundreds of youth in the community through

its many conventions and events. The HYO fondly refers to him as ‘Bapa HYO’, which means Father of the Hindu Youth. During the 60th anniversary of the organisation, HYO collaborated with Pos Malaysia to release a special commemorative postage stamp in his honour. He has also held the position of Hon. Secretary in the Malaysian Hindu Sangam, and received the honourary title ‘Sanga Ratnam’ in recognition of his contributions. An eloquent speaker and youth leader from his younger days, he travelled across the country extensively to deliver speeches on a wide range of topics in different forums related to youth development. teeped in arts and culture, the late S S. Vijayaratnam was also a talented Indian classical singer, an exponent of the Canrnatic music form and won much appreciation for his singing talent. In recognition of his spiritual contributions to the Indian community and his outstanding work among youth, The Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), during its 50th Anniversary Celebration, honoured him with a Gold Medal, which was presented to him by former Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad.

of the most vulnerable strata of society and acts as a change agent by improving systems, developing and disseminating new approaches, and advancing sustainable solutions that create social values.

Guiding Philosophy As a member of the QI family, Vijayaratnam Foundation was also built on the foundation of the same guiding philosophy that drives the rest of the QI Group – RYTHM, or Raise Yourself To Help Mankind. RYTHM, the corporate heartbeat of the QI Group of Companies, is ultimately about recreating the message of Mahatma Gandhi, who believed that in order to help others, one must first help himself. Hence, raise yourself first, before you can help mankind. ased on Gandhi’s principles, the B Foundation lists out three important values as its guidelines:

Truth The truth within will develop the desire to change or improve for the better. With truth entrenched within the foundation, belief and trust from others will follow.

Service Mission Vijayaratnam Foundation focuses on building human capital and is committed to the social empowerment of individuals in order to raise them to be better persons and contribute to the well-being of their families, communities and society at large. The Foundation believes in bringing about positive social changes in the lives

Service is a fundamental value woven into the fabric of the Foundation, where one is constantly tuned in physically and mentally to be of service to others in every possible way, without expecting anything in return.

Care Care translates itself to the compassion and dedication that we show towards the communities we live in and do business in.

FOCUS •••

The Foundation focuses on four main areas: education; community development; arts & culture; and the environment. Education Vijayaratnam Foundation strives to provide education, as a matter of choice, to enlighten and empower marginalised members of society. Education, to us, is everyone’s privilege not counting one’s social and economic background. Therefore, it is our aim to provide this avenue for the benefit of transforming individuals, families and organisations who want to make a difference in their lives. Community Development Vijayaratnam Foundation strives to support independence, entrepreneurship and leadership development by encouraging our beneficiaries to identify and solve problems through our projects. We believe the best way to help the disadvantaged communities is by providing them with knowledge and solutions that they can use to help themselves. Arts & Culture Vijayaratnam Foundation supports various programmes to promote the appreciation of arts and culture among Malaysians. Our projects are steered towards creating mutual respect among the multiracial, multicultural Malaysian community. It is our

aim to revitalise the cultural energies in the community and bring Malaysian arts and culture to the forefront to make it a vital part of our daily lives.

Environment Vijayaratnam Foundation recognises the need to preserve and protect the earth’s vital natural resources. The Foundation is predisposed towards environment-friendly products and supports environment conservation activities. Our concern for the environment is not only an intrinsic value of the Foundation’s principles but a mark of our legacy for future generations.

FOOTPRINTS Testimonial Night.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT by Vijayaratnam Foundation, among other organisations, that gets our children to become seekers of knowledge. The fair focuses on the children’s creativity and ability to take scientific concepts and visualise them into projects. The 2011 fair was held at the German Malaysia Institute (GMI) in Bangi. 60 schools took part and representatives from each state were proportionate to the number of Tamil schools. The award promotes problem solving, writing skills, teamwork as well as public speaking. Students also learn the invaluable experience of developing poise and thinking on their feet. Student Success Skills Supported by the Vijayaratnam Foundation, the Student Success Skills Programme conducted by the Hindu Youth Organisation (HYO) in Port Klang aims to transform the mindset of youths to believe that they too, are entitled to an equitable opportunity to succeed in life. The project objectives are to empower students with life skills, build high competency in livelihood skills, cultivate life-long learning, strengthen core academic subjects and inculcate social responsibilities. The duration of the Programme is four years and it is especially designed for those who have under-performed in their UPSR exams. Most of the students are from low-income households and face various social challenges.

FOOTPRINTS Initiated in October 2009, FOOTPRINTS is a mentoring programme that helps less fortunate children between the ages of nine and 12 to realise their potential. The mission of the programme is simple: to pair children with caring individuals who can guide them to develop self-confidence and learn important values for life. In the past three years, the FOOTPRINTS programme has touched the lives of approximately 70 mentors and 70 mentees where participants were involved in various educational, experiential and outdoor activities. The mentors were carefully selected to coach and guide the children for ten months. The FOOTPRINTS programme is not only a great platform for participants to grow individually and make a difference (M.A.D.) but it’s also a place to discover individual talents and creativity. The 2011 Testimonial Night was held on 1 October at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort and saw 38 mentees from three different welfare homes and a community centre.

MAHARANI Maharani is a project aimed at helping adolescent girls aged between 13 and 16. The project is themed ‘The Princess In You’ and strives to give a strong personal foundation in young women which will help them in making life-altering decisions in the future as well as help them in daily situations. The Maharani Camp started in 2010 with a pilot camp at FRIM on 5 till 7 February, 2010 with 21 girls from three various homes around the Klang Valley. After the pilot camp and many fine tuning exercises, the camp proper started on 30th April till 2nd May, 2010 at Selangor and ended on 30th till 31st October, 2010 in the state of Negeri Sembilan for all three races. A total of eight Maharani Camps were conducted and the lives of approximately 898 teenage girls were touched in 2010.

ARUNA Essentially, the programme focuses on five components: • Gender, ethnicity and culture • Reproductive health and sexuality • Physical, mental and spiritual health • Rejuvenation and dream building • Recreational activities and team building These five components are embedded into seven modules (G.E.T.R.E.A.L.) that are carefully created by experts in each field to ensure the quality and successful delivery of the message to the participants. G.E.T. R.E.A.L. stands for Girls, Evolution, Truth, Realities, Experience, Attitudes, Lean Lass.

These young girls go through a remarkable camping experience where they get to learn, discuss and understand the importance of being a girl. At the same time, the camp is also designed to increase their selfconfidence and sense of civic and cultural pride while increasing their need for a healthy, well-balanced and wholesome lifestyle. Moreover, it is also to widen their perspectives by preparing them to become responsible adults. In 2011, through the Maharani Camp, the lives of 878 teenage girls aged 13 to 14 were touched via 11 camps conducted from July till September. The details of the camps are as below:-

ARUNA is a youth empowerment seminar aimed at giving young people on the threshold of adult life an opportunity to benefit from the wisdom of successful professionals and entrepreneurs who have made a difference in their communities. Aruna, derived from Sanskrit, refers to the glow of the rising sun, a metaphor for new beginnings. In 2011, the Aruna Series kicked off in collaboration with MIND Association on 26 February at Taylor’s College in Subang Jaya. The theme for 2011 was ‘Be the Change” and Dato’ Sri Dr. Vijay Eswaran was one of the keynote speakers. He spoke to a group of 120 students from various universities in Malaysia about the importance of making the change within. SOLS Community Centres The Science of Life Studies (SOLS) 24/7 Community Centre in Paya Mengkuang, Pahang is an Orang Asli centre that has been receiving aid from the Vijayaratnam Foundation along with other community centres located in Tapah, Perak and Masai, Johor. Participants of the Community Centre activities and training programmes include children, youth, working adults and even senior citizens. 66 Orang Asli students attend classes conducted at Kampung Paya Mengkuang. The children of the Orang Asli community are taught English, Motivation and Computer skills, instilling in them a love for education that will benefit them as they become youth and working adults. Education and training are also provided for the community surrounding the centre.

Lifeline Lifeline Association Malaysia is a call centre promoting self-healing and mental health among fellow Malaysians. In 2011, Lifeline conducted a workshop on Zen and self-healing which was sponsored by Vijayaratnam Foundation and the course was open to Mandarin-speaking staff of QI.

Vijayaratnam fully funds 40 children from the shelter in terms of uniform, annual fees, grading fees and other competition fees. The Foundation also facilitates weekly lessons which take place either at the home or at the playground near the QI Group’s regional headquarters in Malaysia.

This workshop was opened to all counsellors, volunteers, social workers, hospital care providers, counselling students and school teachers.

KELHOP The Vijayaratnam Foundation team headed to Kota Bharu, Kelantan on 31 December, 2011 to attend a grant-giving ceremony called Program ‘Masih Ada Yang Sayang’ with 60 under-privileged primary school children at Persatuan Kebajikan Tunas Harapan Kelantan (KELHOP). The team gave the children donations in the form of school clothes, shoes and accessories which was presented to them by Sujitra Jayaseelan, Head of Vijayaratnam Foundation. Vijayaratnam Foundation is proud to associate itself with KELHOP as it is clear that the members of KELHOP are indeed the ‘Hope of Kelantan’s People’ which is evident in their activities thus far.

The aim of the workshop was to improve self-awareness through meditation, self-healing, self-discovery, exploring one’s identity toward becoming better and more efficient counsellors as well as understanding the mental and cognitive processes behind behaviours.

The show also featured the voice of veteran Carnatic vocalist O.S. Arun. National Theatre Competition The National Level Theatre Competition is organised by Fenomena Seni Pentas and supported by the Information, Communication and Culture Ministry and the Education Ministry. Since 2010, Vijayaratnam Foundation has been one of the funding partners of this event, which involved participation by 50 Tamil schools. The competition introduces theatre to primary school students and helps them develop interest and proficiency in the national language. It also enables the children to be more assertive, better equipped to face life and do well in their exams. Samarpanam Samarpanam, is a thorough two-week cultural camp held during the year-end school holidays where children are taught the facts relating to the selected theme for the year via dance, songs and drama. The Vijayaratnam Foundation has funded Sugam Karnatica’s Samarpanam carrying

the themes of ‘Warrior’ in 2009, ‘Samudra’ (which is Sanskrit for ocean) in 2010 and ‘Larger Than Life’ in 2011. Samarpanam helps raise the children’s awareness about the environment while creating all-rounded individuals who appreciate arts and culture and have a sense of community consciousness. Hari Raya and Deepavali Festivities In 2010 as well as 2011, Vijayaratnam Foundation collaborated with the Selangor Welfare Services Department to bring joy to the faces of the young and old, during the celebrations of Deepavali and Hari Raya. 50 under-privileged families in Malaysia were brought together in both festivals where for Deepavali, the families received Deepavali clothing, cooking items and ‘ang pows’ and for Hari Raya, there was festive

The programme involves selected primary students from 45 schools in the Petaling Utama district. Students are encouraged to plant a tree in the vicinity of their schools and to care for the plant throughout their tenure in school. The Vijayaratnam Foundation has pledged to donate a total of 6,000 trees during the course of the project. All trees are sponsored by QNET Malaysia, a subsidiary of QI Group.
