Donations are needed to help 200 Rohingyas living in the Kampung Pandan area and can be channeled through the Gerakan Belia 4B Cheras which is conducting a Ramadan charity drive.
"Among the items needed are rice, sugar, salt, drinks and clothes," its chairman, Sharifah Zarinah Syed Ibrahim told Bernama Saturday.
She said Gerakan Belia 4B Cheras which has about 150 members, has conducted this charity drive for the last three years.
The donations could be sent to the School of Hope (SOH), a school for Rohingya children which is located in the compounds of the Madrasah Kampung Pandan, from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 11am for the duration of Ramadan.
Sharifah Zarinah who is also SOH head said, at present 50 Rohingya children were receiving basic education at the school.
She said the school had three classes, namely kindergarten, level 1 (standards 1, 2, 3) and level 2 (standards 4,5,6), and follows the national school syllabus including Bahasa Malaysia, English, Science and Mathematics.
"Most of the Rohingya children at the SOH are fast learners and can easily understand a subject...we also have one-on-one sessions specifically for students who need more attention," she said.
Sharifah Zarinah said the SOH operates from Monday to Friday, and has five volunteer teachers from among the members of Gerakan Belia 4B.
