In the spirit of spreading the festive cheer this Christmas, Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) under its Community Investment (CI) initiative, Sesama Mara, extended donations to two charity homes.
Through this initiative, Air Selangor has donated necessities such as kitchen items, food, basic furniture and household essentials to two charity homes in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, namely Home of Peace Kuala Lumpur and Grace Home Klang.
Aside from providing assistance and visiting all the charity homes involved, a team of Hydro Heroes volunteers consisting of 11 Air Selangor employees also took part in cleaning and gardening the premises of Home Peace Kuala Lumpur as well as decorating the charity home with ornaments. Additionally, the volunteers also entertained the residents with birthday celebrations and Christmas carolling to enliven their Christmas celebrations.
Elina Baseri, Head of Corporate Communication of Air Selangor said, “This festive cheer programme under the Sesama Mara initiative is a reflection of Air Selangor’s dedication to supporting the less fortunate. By bringing joy and comfort to the residents of these charity homes, we hope to inspire a spirit of togetherness and compassion among all.”
Under the Sesama Mara initiative, Air Selangor has distributed its Box of Hope, consisting of essentials food items to the underprivileged. To date, a total of 6,775 Box of Hope packages has been distributed to B40 families around Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya since this initiative was introduced on 30 June 2020.
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.
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.
