7-Eleven Malaysia alongside with NGOHub recently organized an activity for the underprivileged children of Pertubuhan Amal & Kebajikan Anak2 Islam Tersisih Selangor (PAKATS) to plant vegetation and fruits in the organization’s compound. The event started off with a briefing session to the participants on the various types of trees that will be planted and the gardening tools necessary for the activity. The participants spent the afternoon tilling the fertile land and planting the seedlings together and among the seedlings planted were mangoes, longans, rambutans, pandan, chilli, lemongrass and many more. The event concluded with distribution of 7-Eleven goodie bags which included snacks, beverage and soft toys to the children as a token of appreciation for their hard work.
Liana Jamal, the manager and caretaker of PAKATS has been managing the centre since 2014, providing shelter and care for underprivileged children. The centre first began with 4 orphans and now has grown to shelter 12 boys and girls aged between 3 to 16 years old with various needs.
