Alamanda Shopping Centre in Putrajaya treated some orphans and underprivileged children aged 6 to 17 from Rumah Bakti Al-Kausar, Bangi to Raya shopping on April 21, 2022.
Alamanda Shopping Centre general manager Pang Sook Fong said the corporate social responsibility programme was carried out in conjunction with the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
When the children arrived at the mall, Alamanda team took them to shop for a pair of kasut rayaand a suit of baju raya.
The children were then led to the Centre Court where the mall has recreated a kampung scene with ‘Raya at Atuk’s Orchard’-themed Hari Raya deco, and were entertained with a Hari Raya Zapin performance.
The event was made more meaningful when Alamanda’s retail partners also contributed Hari Raya goodies to the children.
Pang, accompanied by Alamanda’s retail partners Gene Martino, Qutn Cotton and Dunkin’ Donuts presented the children with duit raya and a suit of baju raya from Gene Martino, another suit of baju raya from Qutn Cotton and boxes of doughnuts from Dunkin’ Donuts.
Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd executive director Andrew Brien said, “Being the only mall in Putrajaya, we recognise the need to play a vital role in actively engaging and supporting the community, especially children in need. As wonderful as it is to be with friends and family during this festivity, we must also remember that not many have this privilege. In view of this, we are pleased to share the joy of Hari Raya with the children of Rumah Bakti Al-Kausar.”
Rumah Bakti Al-Kausar chairman Haji Razali Haji Basri said he appreciated Alamanda Shopping Centre for bringing so much joy to the children and giving them the opportunity to welcome the month of Syawal with happiness.
Rumah Bakti Al-Kausar in Bangi, Selangor, was founded as a charity home in 2011, to provide shelter for kids who are in need particularly the orphans. The home is currently housing 36 children.
