 Kuala Lumpur, 14 November 2006 (Tuesday) – For
Cheras folks, shopping at CMC Centre will be a different experience in December
this year with a bee hive of activities being planned for the community.
To kick start the month-long series of events centred around the Christmas
theme, Deputy Home Affairs Minister, Datuk Tan |
Chai Ho, who is also the Member
of Parliament of Bandar Tun Razak, will officiate the opening ceremony, along
with a cheque presentation by generous individual and corporate donors on Sunday
Dec 3 at CMC Centre.
Its organizing committee chairperson, Pastor Foo Moy Peng of Jubilee Initiative
urged corporate citizens and business owners, especially those who operating in
Cheras, to come forward to donate to the charity fund. "We are appealing to more companies to
donate generously to a good cause," she said, adding that there will be many
activities during the whole month
of
December, leading towards Christmas.
"This is the joint-effort of some 18 churches in Cheras, together with
organizations like University College Sedaya International (UCSI), CMC
Centre and the Cheras Pastors Fellowship," she said. "There will be
activities with a different focus every weekend at the CMC Centre in Taman
Connaught, our main sponsor for the event."
Foo said the committee hopes to raise funds to support various
beneficiaries, including Persatuan Kebajikan Charis, Great Commissions
Social Concerns Centre Berhad, Rumah Victory, Charis Community Services Bhd
and Malaysian CARE.
"All these organizations have their own beneficiaries to take care of," she
said. "For example, Charis Community Services runs an orphanage and the
Charis-NKF Kidney Dialysis Centre, while Rumah Victory deals with
drug-related issues. They need financial support to carry on with their
work."
