KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 7 (Bernama) -- In conjunction with International Creativity Month, 7-Eleven Malaysia and NGOHub Asia conducted an arts and crafts activity for the children of Pusat Jagaan Asnaf Barakh in Ampang, Selangor.
Led by 7-Eleven representatives, the children were taught how to construct a wind chime. Volunteers from NGOHub Asia also helped facilitate the activity by guiding the participants with their creations.
7-Eleven Malaysia general manager (Marketing), Ronan Lee expressed his delight to partake in the creative project, saying: ?We are happy to be spending time with the children here, and feel contented to see their brightened expressions from this activity.
"Through it, we hope that it would help develop their creative thinking skills, as constructing a wind chime is quite challenging though we kept in mind to add in a dash of fun as well.
"We strongly believe in uplifting the lives of those who need us, and knowing the difference we can make for the community here inspires us to continue our endeavours of being 'Always There For You'."
Pusat Jagaan Asnaf Barakh is a non-profit organisation that houses children from low-income families. Founder Yusof Noor has been actively supporting the underprivileged, and was inspired to help families who were struggling financially after learning about their circumstances.
Since 2010, the community has shifted to different locations as they were unable to sustain their tenancy with past landlords. Their current location in Ampang, Selangor, is the longest they have stayed and they seek aid for their rent and new furniture to replace the ones that are damaged.
"We also hope to receive support in the form of necessities such as Milo, diapers, milk powder, poultry and fish as these items are costly. Currently, we have 54 children with us, and we would like to provide them with the best that we can to ensure them a comfortable stay," Yusof said.
