The event theme called “Precious Love” saw the distribution of sponsored goods worth RM120,000 from KK Group’s suppliers to the less fortunate. In July 2017, GHL Philippines partnered with Gawad Kalinga, a non-profit non-government organization which specializes in building homes and communities for the less privileged, for a house building activity. Employees from different departments took up their trowels and shovels to build homes. Families who will later be the beneficiaries of the houses also helped in the activity. Another event was held in December 2017 in conjunction with the Christmas season. The talented children from the Children’s Joy Foundation Inc. (“CJFI”) serenaded GHL employees with carols. CJFI is an organization which provides rehabilitation and developmental services to children and youth. GHL employees shared their blessings by donating clothes, toys, hygiene kit, food and milk products and educational materials. z In March, e-pay donated RM3,000 to the National Cancer Society of Malaysia in conjunction with the Rapid KL BRT Run 2017 (which earned a certificate from Malaysia Book of Records for being the First Dedicated Elevated Guideway Running Event in Malaysia) in which we were one of the sponsors.
