UMW Toyota Motor celebrated a “Hari Raya” with underprivileged children from Rumah Amal Asnaf Al-Barakh at their home as part of their annual Staff Volunteer CSR Programme. The event also saw the car manufacturer contributing RM10, 000 to facilitate the construction of the “Surau” next to the home to provide religious classes for the children on a daily basis. As an additional gift the children were also given duit raya.
UMW Toyota Motor’s President Datuk Ismet Suki mentioned that as part of Toyota’s philosophy of improving the quality of life and contributing to the society where they operate, UMW Toyota Motor will continue to reach out to more charitable and non-government organizations through philanthropic and social outreach activities.
“Our main purpose is to give hope and motivate these children to become the best that they can be. Even though they come from underprivileged backgrounds, we hope to inspire them with our love and care, so that they can also have the same hopes and dreams that every child should have,” says Datuk Ismet.
“We are grateful to UMW Toyota Motor for their generous contribution and more so for the kindness they share with our children because it means a lot to them” says Tuan Haji Yusof, founder of Rumah Amal Asnaf Al-Barakh.
Datuk Ismet Suki, adds that the experience has made him realise how fortunate everyone are to have loving and complete families. “While most families are celebrating however, it is just another ordinary day for children in welfare homes. This is why we make a special effort to spread a little cheer to charity homes by treating them during festive season. We hope to become a part of the ‘family’ that they never had.”
The company has been practising the sharing of festive joy with welfare homes since 2002 as part of their community outreach programmes. These programmes underline UMW Toyota Motor’s initiatives to share their global direction of being a caring corporate citizen that gives back to society through philanthropic and social outreach activities. The company also invests in public education programmes on traffic safety and environmental conservation in its other CSR campaigns.
Present at the festive gathering was En. Mohd Shamsor Mohd Zain, Director of Operation Support Group. Rumah Amal Asnaf Al-Barakh welcomes any donation to help the children. Please contact Tuan Haji Yusof at 017-2474550 or email them at bestraaab@gmail.com for more details.
