Last Saturday, the CSR team at Thomas Philip organized a CSR program in collaboration with the Pusat Kebajikan Cahaya Kasih, an orphanage located in Kota Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. The orphanage is home to 31 children and is overseen by 7 caretakers. The children, aged between 3 to 6 years, come from diverse backgrounds but share a close and kind-hearted bond with each other.

Thomas Philip extended an invitation to the children and their caretakers from Pusat Kebajikan Cahaya Kasih to join them for lunch at Barrister’s Brew Café in Desa Sri Hartamas. The CSR team invited Stanley Clown for their fantastic clown service to entertain the kids and had planned numerous activities to uplift the spirits of the young ones.

Iyas, one of the senior associates from Thomas Philip, was invited to talk about his career in simple terms understandable to the children. This excited the kids, providing them with insight into a profession different from the typical roles they were accustomed to hearing about, such as doctors, engineers, and nurses.

Post the informative talk, the children engaged in physical exercises with the clown and all CSR team members, involving jumping, clapping, and laughter. The clown also entertained the kids with his magic show that involved animals for the kids to pet such as a rabbit and a white dove. The kids were so excited for having chances to touch and pet the animals. The clown also entertained the kids with balloon twisting with various of shapes like a sword, animals, heart shape and so on. Every each of the kids will get one balloon twisting with the shape they wanted, and this generated excitement and happiness among them.
For lunch, the children and caretakers were served a delicious meal prepared by the chef at Barrister’s Brew. The food received positive feedback from the kids, who eagerly went for seconds. Additionally, they were treated to desserts like fruit tarts and brownies. 

To conclude the event, each child received a box of Famous Amos cookies that sponsored by Thomas Philip. The CSR team hoped that the children thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the event and their interactions with the team.
