Great
Eastern cares and shares with our community! The Great
Eastern children community project, the ChildrenCare
Fund benefits children’s charities under the umbrella
of the National Welfare Foundation in Malaysia annually.
The Fund is managed by a board of appointed trustees
who oversee the management and administration of the
affairs of the Fund.
Our
staff and members of the field force embark on annual
public fund raising campaigns to raise funds for the
ChildrenCare Fund. With a minimum donation of RM10,
children and members of the public become part of this
caring project that aims to help to change a special
or needy child’s life for the better. To date,
we have raised more than RM 1.1 million through annual
fund raising campaigns! Donations collected are channeled
to children’s homes all over Malaysia for specialised
equipments, professional training and learning aids,
books, computers, and others.
As
a token of appreciation, Great Eastern sponsors
an adorable Sunny Lion for every donation made
and children of the donors are enrolled as a
member of the ChildrenCare Club. The ChildrenCare
Club aims to inculcate in our children, the
intrinsic caring and sharing values of ‘Kids
helping kids’ to make the future great!
Launched
in 1995, the ChildrenCare Fund is in its 13th year of
community contribution. Many other community events
and projects are organised annually to bring cheer and
joy to needy children throughout the year. Some projects
of notable mention are the ChildrenCare Annual Youth
Camps where children from the various children’s
homes in the city are taken for motivational camping
and jungle trekking trips. Recently, Great Eastern also
had the opportunity to bring our indigenous Orang Asli
children to the city to show them the city lights and
sights for a change. Recently, Great Eastern together
with the Women Graduate Association of Malaysia hosted
an inspiring and motivating talk with secondary schools
students and shared the experiences of two highly qualified
academicians under the special programme called 'Kau
Sumber Ilhamku'.
Great
Eastern also works hand in hand on children’s
welfare programmes together with the Government Ministries
as well as Non-Governmental Organizations. Worthy community-wide
projects include equipping a playroom for abused children
in the first video recording witness suite under the
care of the Polis DiRaja Malaysia, organising annual
Children’s Forums to educate children on their
rights, sponsoring Children’s Art Therapy sessions
to provide alternative avenues for juvenile children
to be more self expressive through the arts, sponsoring
live stage shows and choir performances and many more!
