In the spirit of Hari Raya festivities and delivering a ‘MR DIY Raya Serba Baharu’ campaign (April 1–May 8), MR D.I.Y. Group mobilized its corporate social responsibility (CSR) team MR DIY Cares to bring Hari Raya cheer to two charity homes.
The team initiated several activities at the two homes – Mesra Home Ampang, a care centre for the elderly, as well as Pesatuan Kebajikan Rumah Jalinan Kasih Anak-Anak Yatim Miskin Selangir, an orphanage in Cheras by carrying out gotong-royong sessions, games, singalongs, and hosted buka puasa sessions.
The residents of the two homes also received ‘duit raya’ and Hari Raya aid.
Each home received a supply of daily necessities, electrical appliances as well as RM1,000 in MR DIY and MR Dollar cash vouchers to help the residents of the homes source for their everyday essentials.
To ensure everyone continues to stay safe as the country transition into the endemic phase, the MR DIY Cares team also conducted a demonstration on the use of COVID-19 test kits and provided the homes with personal protective essentials.
MR D.I.Y. Group marketing head Alex Goh said it is a traditional corporate culture at MR DIY to work with local community groups and organizations to ensure that the underprivileged are included in the spirit of festive celebrations.
“This is why MR DIY has put a significant effort this year behind our ‘Raya Serba Baharu’ initiative. In this new normal, we want to make sure that all Malaysians can celebrate properly, without being left out. We want to create memorable Hari Raya moments together, and we hope more corporates will step forward to do the same,” he said.
