TOP collaborated with leading retailer, Giant to carry out the charity fund raising campaign
from November 13 to December 13, which saw 30 cents from the
sales of selected TOP products from all Giant outlets
nationwide channeled towards providing the back-to-school necessities for
children aged between 7 to 17 years from 18 care organizations.
The school necessities include a
full school kit of brand new uniform, shoes and socks for each child.
The campaign had two simple
objectives, which is to give these children new uniforms that they can take
pride in, that can motivate them to achieve more by boosting their
self-confidence and self-esteem; and to educate them on the importance of a
hygienic lifestyle, including caring for their clothing so that they are clean
and hygienically laundered.
As part of the education
component of the campaign, the Southern Lion team, held a laundry workshop for
the children from Rumah Solehah and Rumah Kebajikan Karunai Illam at Rumah
Solehah. The new school uniform kits were also presented to the children at
this event.
The children were actively
engaged in learning how to read garment labels to determine how the items
should be laundered, how to correctly use washing machines especially on how
much detergent and softener are to be used based on the load size, and the
hands-on ‘hand wash’ session that had the young participants splashing around
happily.
Southern Lion
Sdn Bhd General Manager, Ms Carmen Foo thanked Giant and its customers for
their generous support of the program that has brought much hope and joy to more
than 1,200 children from care organization across the nation since its
inception over the past two years.
Rumah Solehah administrator,
Cik Fathiiah, mentioned that TOP has stepped up to assist these children in a
meaningful way making them happy. “We
value the contribution for it has help us tremendously in caring for the
children’s needs and educating our children on the responsibility of taking
care of their school uniforms,” said Cik Fathiiah.
“We really
appreciate the school uniforms, shoes and socks given to us. It is nice to
start a new school year with clean and stain free school uniforms. We also had
a lot of fun participating and learning in the workshop. This will surely help
me to take good care of my new school uniform and other clothing” said Yamini
A/P Jagen resident of Rumah Kebajikan Karunai Illam.
