In conjunction with the coming Christmas, Da Ma Cai volunteers through its Staff-In-The-Community programme, celebrated the festive season with the mentally disabled children of Bangsa Ria.
With goodies all packed and readied, the group arrived at Bangsa Ria Centre located in the quiet residential neighbourhood of Section 17 Petaling Jaya. As the group of volunteers settled down, Mr. Nagappan, President of Bangsa Ria, introduced the members at the centre.
Bangsa Ria is a community initiative aimed to provide assistance to family with mentally disabled members. It is a non-profit association providing day care and training for the mentally disabled. Established in 2006, its mission is to provide a loving sanctuary where the disabled can develop their skills to the best of their abilities.
The volunteers started by joining the children in their morning activities, followed by helping them on their daily task. After sharing a scrumptious lunch, it was presents giving time. Every child who received a present was very happy. The day got even better for the children, when a clown and a face painting artist came to entertain them after lunch.
To support the Centre, Da Ma Cai presented RM5,000 vouchers to the Centre’s President, Mr. Nagappan, to purchase groceries and teaching materials for the Centre’s daily use. Mr Nagappan was grateful of Da Ma Cai’s contribution, and hoped that other corporations and companies can follow the footstep of Da Ma Cai in contributing to Bangsa Ria.
