Auction to raise funds













Dear members, friends and supporters of Dyslexia Sarawak,

Dyslexia Sarawak is a non-profit and non-governmental organization advocating earnestly for the literacy and social-emotional needs of children and young adults with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. We are very grateful to Madam Irene Manyin for donating this exquisite set of table and stools made from suar wood for our fundraising efforts. I invite you to come and bid for this. Kindly see details in the poster. Thank you.

Some information about suar wood:

Suar wood is from Rain Tree (Albizia Saman). The wood is cross-grained, strong, robust and very durable, with a light-yellow sapwood and rich dark chocolate-brown heartwood. The rich colour and beautiful but subtle grain of the heartwood, resembling black walnut makes it highly prized for the table-top. It is highly resistant to decay and termites. Suar wood only requires basic maintenance such as soap & water to maintain its grandeur.

Taare Zameen Par, Like Stars on Earth (2007) Full Movie English Subtitle here

This is a beautiful movie sensibly made to appeal to all sorts of audience across all strata of society. It touches a chord in your heart and connects with everybody. No one is left out. It does not matter if you are a parent, uncle, aunt, teacher, brother or sister. It's sure to move you. I dare say, TAARE ZAMEEN PAR is a commercial success as well as it will receive critical acclaim. Aamir Khan scores big time with his debut as a director.

But the star here is not Aamir, its Darsheel Safary, who plays the central character of Ishaan Awasti. Ishaan is a bubbly eight-year-old who sees a different world, always getting into fights and always faring badly in school. While his elder brother is a bright student, Ishaan has spent two years in the third standard.

Exasperated, his father packs him off to a boarding school as a punishment. Already struggling with studies, Ishaan now has to deal with the pangs of separation. If earlier he would paint the canvass bright with colours, now he does nothing of the sort. In school, he has gone from bad to worse, but no one seems to know the reason for his dilemma. The truth is, he is dyslexic. In short, Ishaan has a learning disorder marked by impairment of the ability to recognize and comprehend written words.
