Some Happiness for the Elderly & Neglected Children

Christmas is a time to be merry and happy but at the same time we need to have some thoughts for those less fortunate. Through GCH CSR Program 2014 about 100 senior citizens, neglected children and orphans from Grace Home and Rumah KIDS were entertained and cheered at Concorde Hotel, Shah Alam.

The team of Santa from GCH distributed bags of toys and other festive goodies during the Christmas Dinner organized by the GCH as part of their year-long programme to give back to the community by helping the less fortunate.

GCH Retail also donated RM5,000 to each of the home

GCH Retail also donated RM5,000 to each home to help defray their operating costs. The Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Tim Ashdown presented the cheques to Dr Henry K Pillai the founder and chairman of Grace Home and Rumah K.I.D.S (Kanank-Kanak Ini Di Sayangi).

The special guests aged from 4 to 80 years in return performed and sang some songs during the dinner celebration. Grace Community Services is the umbrella organization.
