Truly Loving Campaign: Meeting the Truly Loving Company!

On the 20th of June 2008, 8 members of the The Truly Loving Campaign organizing committee, myself and our advisor Ms Lim included, met up with The Truly Loving Company to discuss about what will come during the campaign

We all met up at Tunku Abdul Rahman college and moved out at approximately 8.30am, and it was a surprisingly smooth ride, considering that there was no jam! The meeting starts at 9.30am!

Arriving earlier than we had expected to, we went on to grab a bite. After that, it was time for the meeting! We went up to the Truly Loving Company and we were all awe-struck, I believe I heard someone say “Wah…the office so nice!” Indeed it was, it was stylish and at the same time cozy.

The meeting started with brief introductions. Not to bore you with details, but what happened next was that we got down to business, explaining the concepts, theme and what was to happen during the event. I hope it would be safe to say that everyone was happy!

Other than just serious discussions in the conference room of the Truly Loving Company, we also had the opportunity to watch the corporate video produced by the company. Ms Julia Chong, the founder of this company, narrated what we were watching as she stood near the screen of display. When a video introducing the company’s charity partners and what they stood for was on, I could honestly feel a change of atmosphere…the room was thick with emotions because what we saw reminded us of what we have been taking for granted like our families and material possessions … I knew then, because I could feel that all of us that represented the organizing committee now no longer saw this as another assignment, this time, we were doing something meaningful.

A side and very interesting note, Ms Julia Chong, the founder and CEO of the Truly Loving Company briefly explained their logo and its concept. The house represented giving shelter to those who needs it, the heart within talks about the love and care, while a tiny green star above is to show that anyone can achieve and be a star. Obviously, a lot of thought was put into this and I believe it has managed to capture the essence of what the company stands for.

Impressively, with only 8 staff at hand, they have managed to produce 43 products in one year. It really puts things into perspective, now imagine what 83 students will be capable of? A true testimony to "nothing is impossible!"

Having the prestigious opportunity to have been there, I must say I was deeply inspired by the serious passion and dedication that each and every member of the Truly Loving Company possessed. And I am very glad to report that the meeting went on very well. Hopefully, more good things will come in the future! It is a truly worthy and meaningful cause!

I am now feeling love...hopefully, soon you will all feel it too!
