7-Eleven Malaysia recently brought Christmas cheer to children from six welfare homes in Klang Valley with gifts such as candies, chocolates and toys.
The 24-hour convenience store operator, partnered with NGOhub to bring gifts to the children of Persatuan Kebajikan Anak Yatim Mary, Good Samaritan Home, Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Cerdik Taman Chi Liung, Persatuan Rumah Sayangan, Pusat Jagaan Warga Tua & Kanak-Kanak Wilayah Persekutuan and Home For The Angels.
In addition, the 7-Eleven team gifted the homes projectors to support the children’s learning via online classes.
7-Eleven Malaysia marketing general manager Chin Hor Wai said the company collaborated with NGOhub to bring the festive spirit of Christmas to the underprivileged children during these trying times.
“We wanted to spread festive joy and share the excitement of Christmas together. We believe the children and even the caretakers enjoyed the little celebration and had a jolly great time,” she said.
Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Cerdik founder Jude Jasvin Joseph expressed his gratitude for the gifts to the children.
“Due to this pandemic our donation has decreased by 90% causing shortage on our rental for five months. We are unable to accept more people and all of my personal savings have gone out for the upkeep and maintenance of this center. We really appreciate 7- Eleven and NGOhub’s commitment, especially during this pandemic, in helping our handicapped, disabled and special needs children and adults who are from low-income groups and rural areas. The kids really felt excited with the goodies bags and the Christmas tree given,” he said.
All the six homes welcome contribution from society and are in need of monetary funds, household items and volunteers. Those who want to help may contact these homes directly or visit their websites.
