In the spirit of Christmas festivities, 7-Eleven Malaysia with its start-up, NGOHub recently carried out a CSR activity by bringing the children from Pertubuhan Rumah Kebajikan Chrestus Cheras (Rumah Chrestus) out for a special Christmas movie treat, Frozen II at a nearby cinema. The fun movie outing started out in the morning with a briefing and introduction of the volunteers to the children. The 90-minute movie experience was made complete with sweet caramel popcorn and cool beverages. After the movie, the children were treated to a scrumptious lunch provided by a catering service back at Rumah Chrestus and all the children were all given Christmas presents which included snacks and stationaries for school before bidding farewell to the volunteers.
Established 18 years ago in 2001, Rumah Chrestus is a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring the lives of children aged 2 to 18 years old who are orphaned, abused, neglected or underprivileged. With a total of 15 children, the shelter now provides education and trainings for them to be self-sufficient for their future and it is currently managed by Pastor Jeffrey Solomon and the Chief Warden of Rumah Chrestus, Elvis.
