In a celebration of inclusivity and festive cheer, Resorts World Genting (RWG) and Genting Green Generation (G3), hosted a Christmas celebration at Resorts World Awana welcoming 23 blind and visually impaired individuals from the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB) on Dec 12, 2024.
Dato’ Sri Kay Atisha, the vice president of corporate relations and communications of Resorts World Genting said this Christmas celebration underscored RWG’s commitment to inclusivity and creating meaningful experiences for the MAB participants.
“The event was thoughtfully curated to provide the MAB participants with sensory-rich activities and engaging entertainment that could be enjoyed beyond sight, fostering connection and festive cheer.
“I am also proud of the dedication shown by our G3 volunteers and the tremendous support from teams at Genting SkyWorlds and Resorts World Awana in making this event truly special,” she said.
G3 is RWG’s employee volunteer programme, focusing on fostering community engagement and promoting environmental sustainability.
The celebration began with an exhilarating adventure at Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, where MAB participants were paired with G3 volunteers to ensure a seamless experience.
Equipped with earpieces for clear communication, participants fully engaged in the rides – Epic Hummingbird Flyers and Sid’s Rock ‘N’ Slide – guided by the Theme Park Ambassador’s detailed explanations.
The immersive experience left participants with smiles and laughter resonating throughout the park.
The festivities continued with a Christmas-themed luncheon at Dewan Lanai, Resorts World Awana, where participants were treated to live Christmas songs and a trumpet performance by the Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park Entertainment team.
Special appearances by Mr. and Mrs Claus, along with Benny the Entertainer, a Sun Bear mascot from Genting’s Highland Heroes, added an extra layer of sensory engagement to the joyous celebration.
The event also featured an engaging interactive game session led by the RWA team. Blind and visually impaired participants, guided by their sense of touch, identified mystery items hidden in a box while G3 volunteers recorded their answers.
A lucky draw was held featuring gift boxes from L’Occitane, a B Corp-certified brand renowned for its impactful ‘Fight Avoidable Blindness’ initiatives globally.
The fun-packed day ended when the participants were presented with mini cakes as take-home mementos.
The Christmas celebration highlights RWG’s dedication to fostering inclusivity through its G3 initiatives while reaffirming its commitment to engage with the community. The company remains steadfast in its efforts to create meaningful, positive impacts within the communities it serves.
