WAY TO GO, SSA KL!
Many thanks to our SSA members who bought a record-breaking RM 1765 in raffle tickets and RM 795 in used books at our International Coffee Morning. The monies will go towards supporting Tanma, a women’s cooperative of Burmese refugee women, and the
Sahabat Support Centre, which provides education, family health care, and support to refugee families in Ampang.
We couldn’t have our successful raffles without the support of prize donations
from our members. Thank you to these ladies who brought back some lovely prizes from their travels:
Anisa Haddad
Khizra Bilal
Melanie Thompson
Sneha Biniwale
Germaine Ferrao-Lenn

Look for the next charity raffle and SSA Book Shoppe at our Annual General Meeting on November 20th!
How Can I help?
We are collecting the following items at our coffee mornings. Just leave with a member of the Charity Team, and they will take care of the rest!
Donate a raffle prize—donated prizes ensure our entire raffle monies go to the needy. If you find an interesting gift from your country or your travels, it would make a great prize for someone while helping to raise money for an SSA supported charity.
Donate used books—the SSA Book Shoppe needs more books, for children and adults!
Collect travel-sized toiletries from hotels and airlines—these will be collected and put into gift bags for the needy.
In Memoriam
The Charity Team would like to recognize the generous donation SSA member, Abeer Beydoun, made to the Sahabat Support Centre in memory of her grandmother, Hikmat Beydoun. The charity team used her donation to purchase emergency support food kits for the refugee families registered at the center.
Seventy families are currently registered for the food aid at the refugee center. However, eighty families are still on a waiting list to receive food aid. If you would like to help, please visit www.msri.org.my for more information, or speak to Charity Team member

After a great summer holiday,
our SSA ladies met up with
enthusiasm and good cheer to
greet each other and share
holiday snippets at Magenta Restaurant on 29th of August.
With a huge spread of
scrumptious sandwiches,
mouth-watering quiche,
delicious party cakes, fresh fruit
slices, yummy cookies and a
wide choice of gourmet tea
and coffees... our ladies
enjoyed their morning
catching up with old friends
and greeting the new members warmly.
We started the morning by
introducing the new SSA
members. We had 16 new
members who were attending
their first coffee morning in the
KL Chapter. We welcomed
Analis Asih, Angela Maria
Arevelo, Anna Cristina Rausch,
Armanda Dingledy-Rodie,
Chiquitita Tamba, Frederique Idri, Gloria Uribe, Katrina Ross,
Paola Salazar, Sabrina
Boukercha, Shen Yue,
Stephanie McVie, Zhou Wang,
Adriana Verdugo, Kristin
Belcher and Camila Senel. We
wish them a fantastic tenure in Malaysia.
With the ongoing tradition of
celebrating birthdays we
wished Analis Asih, Angela
Arevelo, Ira Kurniawan,
Mahboubeh Rahimzadeh, Ping
Hu, Shilpa Verma and Shen Yue a wonderful birthday.
We had the popular and much
awaited lucky draw for the
door prizes. Here the new
comer's luck worked for
Stephanie McVie, Armanda
Rodie and Katrina Ross who
won delightful gifts. Our
charities team member, Laura
Miller also walked away with a
lucky prize.
We would like to appreciate the efforts of two special ladies
Jennifer Guthrie and Kari
Granier who stepped up to
look after the registration desk
at the coffee morning. It is
because of their commitment
that this coffee morning was a
huge success. Thank you ladies!!
While wishing you a fond
adieu.... the SSA KL Hospitality
team hope to see you at the next coffee morning!

SSA-KL Self Defense
- PROTECTION
PROGRAM CLASS
Last October 8th, Activity
team organized a Self-
Defense class to give some
safety tips and knowledge to
our members. This class did
not encourage us to fight
back but it gave us the tools
to try and defend ourselves
in a difficult situation. This
was only a foundation class,
would be needed if we wish
to master all the techniques.
Master Francis Albert taught
us and explain about: body
language, potential target
and identifying the threat.
Also we will learn how to
escape from a kidnap
situation, snatch thief
avoidance, chokehold from
front technique, and other
skills.
