MIRI: Three inspiring 17-year-old students started their own non-profitable charity donation to help the less fortunate people in Lapok area here.
The students are known as Emma, Sonia and Janoniva from St Columba’s National Secondary School.
Hearing this, KPJ Miri Specialist Hospital offered a helping hand in the programme which seeks to share the joy of Christmas with the underprivileged affected during the Covid-19 pandemic.
So far, they managed to gather many contributions and basic necessities such as groceries, clothes, food and water which will be donated to the villages in Lapok.
KPJ Miri general manager Denis Saving Boniface said, “It is very important that in this unprecedented time for all healthcare related industries to support and help whichever non-profitable charity donation.
“I hope this collaboration and contribution will also lift up the Christmas spirit in this current festive season.”
He said this when delivering his speech at a corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme in collaboration with the students at KPJ Miri Specialist Hospital here on Saturday (Dec 5).
