Country Garden Pacificview Provides School Supplies for Underprivileged School Children

 

BUKIT INDAH, 20th Dec 2014 – Country Garden Paficiview (CGPV), the master developer for FOREST CITY project today with great pleasure, delights 50 underprivileged school children aged 12 from four schools of Mukim Tanjung Kupang on a shopping trip to TESCO Bukit Indah to purchase basic school necessities for the 2015 school year.

 

School children from Sekolah Kebangsaan Tanjong Adang, Sekolah Kebangsaan Morni Pok, Sekolah Kebangsaan Tanjung Kupang and Sekolah Kebangsaan Pendas Laut received two sets of school uniforms, two pair of shoes and stationery set and at the same time UTM also distributed 50 school bags to the school children. This charity event, themed Back to School Country Garden Pacificview, is one of the programmes under CGPV’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative together with Country Garden Volunteers Group.

 

“This initiative is the first event and is part of the company’s community-based program organized throughout the year. The program is aimed at alleviating the parents’ burden and helping them to prepare their kids for the 2015 school year. The program is part of the company’s ongoing initiative to give back to the people as well as contribute to the wellbeing of the surrounding communities,” said Teo Chee Yow, Executive Director of Country Garden Pacificview Sdn Bhd.

 

“For Back to School Country Garden Pacificview 2014, we decided to make it even more meaningful to the school children by letting them select their school items especially school uniforms and shoes, plus teaching them the responsibility of spending wisely based on an allocated budget,” added Teo.

 

As the start of the school year approaches, CGPV want to make sure the school children are ready for school with their basic necessities in place. CGPV hopes that the contribution today will bring smiles to these children’s faces.

The Back to School Country Garden Pacificview 2014 was graced by the presence of Y.B. Dr. Haji Zaini Haji Abu Bakar, Assemblyman of Nusajaya, who handed over the school kit to the underprivileged school children of Mukim Tanjung Kupang. The programme was also attended by Associates Professor Dr. Othman Ismail, representatives for Deputy Vice
Chancellor of UTM.
