Ensuring that communities in need also have the opportunity to celebrate, MR D.I.Y Group (M) Bhd held a meaningful programme in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations.
The home improvement retailer has partnered with Persatuan Kebajikan Menyentuh Hati Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor (HATI), to hand out angpows and goodies to 14 charitable homes through MR DIY’s Wang Nilai CNY programme.
HATI is an organization that built Malaysia’s largest open directory of NGOs and social organizations.
The two organizations recently mobilized their volunteers to visit Persatuan Kebajikan Rumah Victory Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, a home for children, youth and the elderly in Selangor, to celebrate the festive season.
The volunteers organized games, helped the residents put up Chinese New Year decorations and hosted ‘Lou Sang’ sessions.
The home also received RM1,000 in MR DIY cash vouchers to help with daily essentials.
“Chinese New Year is all about spending time with family, celebrating the traditions of the Chinese diaspora. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed to be able to celebrate the traditions with their families, and we wanted to ensure they have a memorable festive season.
“Our Wang Nilai CNY initiative with HATI makes it possible for us to bring some festive cheer to those who may be alone or facing challenges. It’s wonderful to see how much joy this programme has generated,” said MR D.I.Y. Group marketing head Alex Goh.
Goh added that with the support of the people at HATI, MR DIY was also able to bring the joy of the CNY season to 12 other charitable homes across the country.
