THREE charity institutions received a total of RM36,080 from the fundraising efforts of Sri Kuala Lumpur Primary School pupils.

Students from Years One to Five put up a musical concert while the prefects sold sweets, ice-cream and pizza.

At the school’s 28th annual speech day, the school executive chairman, Tan Sri Othman Merican, presented RM10,100 to Albert Ong from the Good Samaritan Home and RM5,300 to Lynette Low from the PAWS Animal Welfare Society.

Proceeds of RM20,680 from the musical Around The World In Eighty Minutes had earlier been awarded to the Monfort Boys Home.

Prizes were given to students who had excelled and a concert comprising dance, choir and musical performances rounded up the day’s programme.

School general manager Hanif Merican stressed that the kindness and commitment towards a worthy cause not only fostered family togetherness but also ensured a nation of caring citizens with strong moral values.
