ABOUT 90 underprivileged children from SJK (T) Taman Permata, Dengkil, were delighted to know that Living Hope Malaysia is sponsoring them with lunch for a year. The children sometimes have to stay behind after school for extra classes and majority did not have money to buy lunch.
Living Hope founder and chairman Dr Peggy C. Wong presented a mock cheque for RM27,000 to the school’s assistant headmistress Uma Perumal.
The program was started in 2010 by former headmaster Muthiah Sithambaram.
“We are very happy to help these children so that they will be able to concentrate on their studies and not feel faint and sleepy in the afternoon.
“We thank our donors for their love and compassion for the poor and for partnering us,” Dr Wong said..
Living Hope Malaysia, founded in July 2007, is the corporate social responsibility arm of Living Hope Resources (M) Sdn Bhd that aspires to be the voice of the unheard and a champion of the poor, needy and marginalised children living in Malaysia and internationally.
It acts as a bridge by connecting generous donors with needy children. Sponsorship (cash or in kind) is channelled directly to the beneficiaries.
Living Hope is run by a dedicated group of volunteers whose motivation is to inspire hope in needy children for a better future.
