KUCHING (Aug 13): Lodge International School has contributed RM5,000 to Hope Place Kuching to aid the purchase of special needs items for the disabled community.
The funds were raised by the school's Korean Club and handed over earlier this week by principal Markus Gatuman to Hope Place founder Kelvin Wan during a small handing-over ceremony.
The event was witnessed by the club's president Kim Chang Hui, vice-president Marcus Chung, and teacher-in-charge Esther Jung.
According to Hope Place, this marks the second time that the Korean Club has donated to the local non-governmental organisation (NGO), as part of its ongoing efforts to promote empathy, love and a culture of giving among the younger generation.
Founded in 2013, Hope Place supports nearly 100 disabled individuals across Kuching, Serian and Samarahan, providing essential items such as disposable diapers, specialised milk powder, and wheelchairs.
The NGO works closely with Sarawak General Hospital, Sentosa Hospital, and Serian Hospital to ensure proper care for those with physical or mental disabilities.
Hope Place expressed its appreciation to Lodge International School and other educational institutions for spreading awareness on community work, diversity, and inclusivity.
Those wishing to contribute to Hope Place can contact the NGO on 082-505 987 or 013-567 2775.
