They say entrepreneurs are great with business ideas, but the bright folks from MDMT013 also have many amazing ideas for charity. This 16 of June marks a colourful day filled with their many initiatives, with the Hiichiikok Foundation Home For Children Care being the blessed venue.
There, three fun activities were conducted simultaneously, haircut from Kami Salon, talent reading by Show & Tell and eye tests by Halo Optical. All the children sported neat and vogue haircuts that day.
Also, it was noted through the many eye tests conducted that quite a number of the children had eyesight problems.
They were then given spectacles, fully sponsored by Halo Optical.
Besides the gifts in the form of benefits-in-kind, MDMT013 generously contributed RM24,000 to Yayasan Hiichiikok bank account. These will cover monthly tuition fees of RM1,200 per month for a span of 12 months, repair of the kitchen roof amounting to RM4,500, and the balance to be used as the home deems necessary.
That is but the tip of the charity iceberg. They further contributed seven new stand fans to the home to beat back the heatwave that has been making news. Education nowadays is synonymous with technology, so it was very thoughtful for them to also donate five refurbished laptops to the home.
This would not be a one-sided event for the children reciprocated with two stellar performances, a Thank You song by Celine Dion and a dance accompanied by the song Ting Wo Shuo Xie Xie Ni. In an amazing fit of language mastery, two of the children came to the front to give thank-you speeches. Shalayla made hers in Mandarin while Tommy was in English.
Titus gave a touching speech on his life experiences with the other homes before being admitted to the Hiichiikok Foundation Home for Children Care.
Speaking of entrepreneurship, the children gave a demonstration of their business acumen by selling popcorn, notebooks and hand-drawn paintings to raise funds for school fees.
This fun-filled day is but one of the many enriching activities that the children indulge in on a weekly basis. For more information on the Hiichiikok Foundation, please go to: https://hiichiikokfoundation.com/
