The MAD Angels Project: Working to Help Myanmar's Children

The MAD Angels are not an NGO, a charity, or even a social enterprise, but simply a group of friends with full-time jobs and a passion for helping people. They have single-handedly set up the MAD Angels project to try to improve the lives of children in orphanages in Myanmar. Starting with 3 orphanages, they already have a huge task on their hands, what with securing a roof over the children's heads, schooling, food and even basic necessities such as water. 

On April 7, MAD Angels were holding a charity fundraiser event in Bangsar Village. Here to tell us more about the project was Lynette Yee and Patsy Woo.
