The Rumah Pengajian Xavier (RPX) boys have been stuck in the home for most of the months in 2020 except for a few months under RMCO where schools were re-opened. They were mainly studying online with only 5 computers to be shared among 14 boys.
Since they have so much time in their hands, they decided in November 2020, to do a fund-raising project by selling Indian Borage plants which were grown in RPX garden. Their target was to sell 150 pots which will be able to raise sufficient funds for one desktop computer. A poster and video were drawn up by the boys to promote the plants via social medias viz. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The school and netizens were so impressed with the project that they shared the post widely. All 150 pots were sold. On top of that, they received a donation exceeding RM11,000 and 8 refurbished desktop computers. Indeed, God is great and His providence is overflowing. With the donations, they bought 3 laptops and in total, they now have 16 computers including their existing units. Not only are the boys able to focus on their online studies with on one computer per boy, they were able to bless the Myanmar children with one extra unit.
The boys were overwhelmed with the response and success of this project. Apart from getting new computers, they learned a lot which include planning, marketing, finance, quality/ inventory control and customer service.
