EON Finance takes orphans on pre-Raya shopping spree at Metrojaya

December 10, 2000

Thanks to the combined efforts of EON Finance and Metrojaya, smiles were brought to the faces of out for more than 100 children from Asrama Damai Orphanage when they were treated to a pre Hari Raya shopping spree at Malaysia's largest shopping complex at Mid Valley Megamall.

The orphans from Kuang who were mostly first timers to the shopping mall were given the run of the Metrojaya store for an hour to choose their favourite items. Most of them wanted school bags, shoes and stationery items for their next school term which begins soon after Hari Raya.

The shopping spree organised by the sports club of EON Finance was made possible by the kind generosity of Metrojaya Mid Valley which gave special discounts of up to 40% for items purchased. The children were later presented with EON Finance coin boxes and souvenir items and a goodie bag from Metrojaya.

The Asrama Damai Orphanage has about 120 residents and requires RM15,000 monthly to cover expenses. Those who wish to donate to the orphanage can contact orphanage administrator Tuan Haji Suhaimi on 019 3566874 or call in to the orphanage at Asrama Damai Anak-Anak Yatim Kuang, Lorong Teratai, Batu 17 3/4 Kuang 48050 Selangor.
