Kuala Lumpur – In sharing the joy of Deepavali celebration, Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, Sesama Mara extended donations to three (3) charity homes.
Through this programme, Air Selangor donated basic necessities such as food, school supplies, electrical appliances and household essentials to 137 children from three (3) charity homes in Selangor, namely the Rita Home (Kapar), the Salvation Kids Association (Klang) and Pertubuhan Kebajikan Yesuvin Mahligai (Kajang).
Aside from providing assistance and visiting all the charity homes involved, a team of Hydro Heroes’ volunteers consisting of 25 Air Selangor employees also took part in clean-up activities such as painting walls, mowing lawns and cleaning the premises of these charity homes. Additionally, the volunteers organised relaxing and fun activities, such as making traditional floor decorations known as ‘kolam’ and aerobic exercises with the children in these charity homes to enliven and bring joy to this year’s Deepavali celebration.
Under Sesama Mara programme, Air Selangor has distributed a total of 4,322 Box of Hope, consisting of essentials food items to B40 families in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur since this initiative was introduced on 30 June 2020.
Air Selangor hopes the assistance that has been distributed will be able to bring joy while also strengthen the relationships among various segments of society, such as the local community, residents’ associations, local authorities and non-governmental organisations.
The Box of Hope contributions in the form of physical purchases can be made at five (5) Box of Hope locations within Village Grocer outlets. These locations are Tamarind Square Cyberjaya, MyTOWN Shopping Centre Cheras, 1 Mont Kiara, Central i-City Shah Alam and Melawati Mall Ampang. In addition, Air Selangor has also introduced the digital version of the Box of Hope initiative, allowing the public to make digital contributions through the website www.airselangor.com/boxofhope/.
The Sesama Mara programme is a grassroots initiative aimed at assisting the surrounding community while strengthening Air Selangor’s relationships with various segments of society, such as the local community, residents’ associations, local authorities, and non-governmental organisations.
