The Shell Raya Charity Drive is a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative that first Shell Malaysia kick-started 3 years ago. This annual campaign saw Shell donating 1 sen (RM0.01) for every litre of fuel pumped at its stations nationwide on June 22, 23 and 24 this year. As a result, Shell Malaysia has successfully raised RM738,000 for five (5) charity organsations this year. A fantastic amount to help those in need.
So in conjunction with the Raya Charity Drive, Shell Malaysia visited the BOLD Association for Children with Special Needs (Penang) recently and spent some quality time with the children. They were also joined by the children of Kelab Balkis, all the way from Kelantan. This is a good thing as the kids, well, some of them get to go on a road trip which they hardly do. Remember, these are needy children you know.
This year’s fund will be distributed to five (5) selected charity organisations: MyKasih Foundation (Central and Sabah region); BOLD Association for Children with Special Needs (Penang); Pertubuhan Perkhidmatan Intervensi Awal Batu Pahat (Johor Bahru), Kelab Balkis (Kelantan) and Yayasan Kemajuan Insan Sarawak (Sarawak). Three (3) of the selected charity organisations will utilize the funds for underprivileged children’s bursary programmes, academic programmes and skill-based activities such as computer, sewing and cooking classes to name a few. The two (2) other charity organisations will be focusing on helping children with special needs and will use the donation for programmes that support children’s communication skills, sensory and motor skills training.
A fabulous effort by Shell Malaysia. May they continue their efforts for years to come.
