The Trishaw Man / Beca Man
A Truly Charitable Cause  


Women's Aid Organisation is happy to work with Frankie Tan on this very novel idea to raise funds! Frankie Tan has come up with an innovative idea of raising funds while cycling his trishaw from Melacca to Penang. He will start his journey on 6th June from Melacca and hopes to raise funds for 4 charities. WAO is honoured to be one of the beneficiaries.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the donors for their generous support given to this project.  more
