7-Eleven Malaysia celebrated a joyous Deepavali with the community of Ebenezer Home, Shah Alam. Before the celebration began, the volunteers got to know the occupants through a ‘gotong-royong’ session, cleaning and tidying up the venue for the feast. An afternoon tea spread, prepared by the volunteers, included a delectable combination of traditional Indian appetizers and desserts. Goodie bags containing snacks and daily essentials were also handed out.
Incepted in year 2010, the home is dedicated to the elderly, disabled, mentally ill and less fortunate by founder Kavitha Subramaniam and has flourished to 2 housing units with a total of 39 residents, segregated by gender.
