redONE mobile partners with SUKA Society for 'Empowered 2 Teach' programme
The collaboration aims to provide support to create a conducive learning environment for the children at a pre-school.
SHAH ALAM - redONE Mobile announces its collaboration with Persatuan Kebajikan Suara Kanak-Kanak Malaysia (SUKA) also known as SUKA Society, aiming to provide support to create a conducive learning environment for the children at a pre-school situated in an Indigenous village at Sg Poh, Gopeng, Perak.
Through this collaboration, redONE Mobile has adopted the pre-school, attended regularly by 28 children between the ages of four to six, of families from the community at the Sg Poh Orang Asli village.
The adoption will see redONE Mobile providing financial aid to support the operational expenses such as teacher and assistants’ salaries, as well as funding for educational resources and materials.
Upon the adoption, redONE initiated its initial phase of engagement by mobilising 17 volunteers comprising its employees to the school for a two-day programme.
The activities on the first day involved refurbishment of the school with all volunteers participating in a gotong-royong to clean the surrounding area before proceeding to repaint the school.
Activities on the second day saw the setting up and assembling of educational materials which included a brand new HD TV set and the handing over of contributions consisting of educational toys and materials.
The children were also entertained with various fun activities on the second day which included a ‘Best Hari Raya Dress’ competition and a drawing contest where the winners received prizes.
Through this collaboration, redONE Mobile demonstrated its commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of underprivileged communities.
By focusing on education at the grassroots level, redONE Mobile aims to empower the children of the aboriginal community village with the necessary tools and skills that nurture their growth and development, guiding them toward a brighter future.
redONE Mobile Chief Executive Officer Ameen Amaendran said redONE Mobile is excited to partner with SUKA for the 'Empowered 2 Teach' programme and contribute towards the development of education for the indigenous children of Sg Poh community.
"We believe in the power of education to transform lives and all children deserve equal opportunity and access to education, thus we are dedicated to supporting initiatives that create a lasting impact such as this," he said.
Meanwhile, SUKA society Executive Director Anderson Selvasegaram expressed his excitement to have redONE as the main sponsor of Kelas Komuniti Sg Poh this year.
"Through collaborations with corporations like redONE, we are grateful to see the school equipped with a new smartTV for the students to engage in ICT-based learning.
"This is essential as we want to see children, regardless of their location, have equal opportunity to use technology as an important tool for learning and gaining knowledge.
"We look forward to continuing this partnership in the years ahead. Thank you, redONE, for your support," he stated.
Besides that, redONE Mobile plans to further support the community through several more community outreach programmes this year including Bantuan Kasih redONE, a tree planting project with the Forestry Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), and Adopt-A-Family programme which will entail various forms of assistance including food, education, and health being extended to family members of employees of the company facing hardship or severe poverty.
