Tiny tot embarks on a fund-raising project with mum
BY SUSAN TAMPETALING JAYA: Drawing and sharing tales of an “earless chicken” and a “tailless donkey” are not only four-year-old Kam Su-Sze's favourite shared moments with her mother, but also her way of helping children in need.
Saying “these stories make me laugh”, the bubbly Su-Sze’s short and amusing tales have more than just entertainment value – they are dedicated to raising funds for children affected by the tsunami tragedy.
Following a “brain-storming” session between mother and daughter, they decided to turn Su-Sze’s stories into postcards to be sold.
Cheong Kim Tho said she decided to embark on the fund-raising project after her daughter convinced her that she wanted to help the victims.
Su-Sze, who is entered in the Malaysia Book of Records for being the first two-year-old to swim 50m, knows all about the tragedy’s magnitude, as she survived it while holidaying with her family in Phuket.
“Su-Sze felt strongly about helping the children affected by the tsunami and wanted to donate half her piggy-bank savings,” said Cheong.

CHARITABLE: Su-Sze showing off some of the pictures drawn by her which will be made into postcards to raise funds. |
Her daughter’s delightful tales are contained in a set of 10 postcards, priced at RM8, titled “One Story After Another” which will be on sale at the Smart Kids 2005 Fair to be held from April 1 to 3 at the PWTC and at the Cambridge English for Life centres.
But the mother-daughter team is not stopping at this.
“We may embark on similar projects to help children who are mentally or physically challenged, and also assist HIV-positive babies,” added Cheong.
