On the 3rd of Jan 2009, HOPE worldwide together with Hong Leong Foundation and Mydin Hypermarket brought cheer to 94 children when each children were given a sponsorship to shop for their school needs at Mydin Hypermarket USJ. Many of this children would not have money to even by their school needs and as a result some have to resolve leaving school at a tender age to work for a living. We are very grateful to see the smiles in all the children and their mothers.


After shopping, all the children were treated with a sumptous dinner before heading home to Sentul. We would like to extend our heartful thanks to Hong Leong Foundation and Mydin, not forgetting the faithful volunteers of HOPE worldwide for making the difference in the lives of these children.
