Malaysia Retail Chain Association (MRCA), through its charity arm MRCA Branding Education Charity Foundation, brought early Christmas joy and gifts to children at Trinity Community Children Home with a donation worth RM10,000 comprising Christmas gifts, cash, grocery items and electrical appliances.
The Trinity Community Children Home (TCCH) is a children’s home located in Petaling Jaya that caters for children that are single parented, abandoned, abused and neglected.
The charity visit was welcomed by Trinity Community Children Home’s manager Pastor Wendy Hew.
The donation handover ceremony was attended by MRCA Branding Education Charity Foundation chairman Datuk Lee Hwa Cheng, MRCA president Shirley Tay, MRCA deputy president Dato’ Liew Bin, MRCA charity committee as well as council members with strict adherence to standard operating procedure (SOP) guidelines and regulations.
The children were thrilled to receive their Christmas gifts which had been prepared based on their wish list. They took to the stage to show off their talents in a performance that impressed the MRCA entourage.
It was a memorable and meaningful event especially for the children whom have had an equally difficult period since the start of the pandemic crisis.
MRCA president Shirley Tay highlighted the importance of goals setting in life to inspire the young people and to learn and put every opportunity to task so that they can unleash their full potential for the future and be successful in all they do.
“Whilst many SMEs are still reeling from heavy financial losses incurred in the past 20 months of prolonged lockdowns due to the pandemic, MRCA has always strive to advocate in forwarding good deeds through simple act of kindness, considerations and remembering those in need reaching out to them in every available opportunity and means,” she said.
The MRCA Branding Education Charity Foundation has also embarked on other charity projects such as “A Good Deed A Week”; “MRCA Sungai Buloh Hospital Relief Fund”, “Spare Your Coins for Charity”, and “MRCA & DSAM Support White Flag Charity”.
