The objective of this initiative is to show care for the special needs children in our community and to provide them a comfortable learning environment. The campaign was organized before they return from school breaks on 8th January 2015. It started at 10.30am and took about six hours to clean up a double storey ancient building, including its air-conditioners, ceiling fans, window frames, toilets, kitchen, pantry and teacher’s offices.

I am delighted that our teams were active in their communities by spending their precious time away from works volunteering to help others for a good cause.
