IWC Butterworth does a Christmas and Back to School Project in Penang
Inner Wheel Club of Butterworth
18 December 2022
The Inner Wheel Club of Butterworth (IWC Butterworth) was alerted by Ms Anita whose family has been operating Pusat Jagaan Sinar Ceria, a Children’s Home in Bukit Mertajam for the last 18 years, that 23 of her charges needed school uniforms and shoes when they return to school in January. President Datin Santhi Sundara immediately got into action and informed Club members who generously contributed towards the project.
Twenty-three vouchers worth RM60 per child which are redeemable at a popular store were obtained and the Club decided to throw a Christmas tea party for the children who are from underprivileged backgrounds. Vice President Shanthi Shanmugam acquired three types of local snacks and packets of Milo which delighted the children very much.
On 18th December 2022 at 4pm, President Datin Santhi, Vice President Shanthi, Club Treasurer Maheswari Mahalingam and District Webmaster Lucy Barrock went to the Home and handed over the vouchers as well as the tea party snacks and drinks. The ladies were gratified by the delight on the faces of the children as they enjoyed their drinks and snacks.
IWC Butterworth has been contributing to the Home since the Club was initiated in 2019. Members are partial to the well-being of children and are passionate about the education of the young as are many Inner Wheel Members worldwide.
