Grandfather Donating a Piece of Land

Grandfather was delighted to be able to donate a piece of land to build a kindergarten in Sg. Merah. That year he was going to celebrate his 60th birthday. In fact he was very attached to the Methodist Church and had donated land in Bintangor to build the Kai Nguong Church and the Kai Chung School in 1922. As a man who was very far sighted, he believed in the role of education and he stayed close to Rev Hoover, Mrs. Hoover and his best friend, Rev Yao Shiao King. Later, he was most fond of Rev Ho Siew Leong, whom he considred a brother. Today of all his donations, only the Sg. Merah, Kwong Ang Kindergarten bears his name on the wall. This photo commemorates his birthday in Sg. Merah and his close church friends. Praise God for his generosity.
