Actions proved to be so much more louder than words at Sri Kuala Lumpur School recently during the school’s 29th fundraiser themed ‘The Magic of Sharing’.

The school’s community consisting of students and the Parent-Teacher Association managed to raise more funds than what was targeted, to be distributed to 10 selected charitable institutions.

Thanks to their amazing efforts, they managed to raise more than RM450,000 via a series of activities held.

The drive began in May with the Leo Club’s Charity dinner at Sheraton Hotel. This was followed by the staging of Thumbelina - a musical drama that high lighted young talents from the primary school - June.

 

A day long food and fun fiesta in July was then held on the school grounds where students, staff and parents once again diligently set out to raise more funds.

A week later, a golf tournament, dinner and a raffle draw were held at Kota Permai Golf and Country Club as the final stage of the charity drive. All the events had served to unite the staff, parents and students in a massive attempt to help the underprivileged and foster a sense of compassion in the youngsters from preschool, primary and secondary sections.

Sri Kuala Lumpur School held the cheque presentation recently in conjunction with the annual Merdeka celebrations. The guest list included assemblywoman for Subang Jaya Hannah Yeoh, representatives from the selected beneficiaries and Mohd Azri Jailani from the Ministry of Education’s private schools division.

Executive chairman of OM Education Sdn Bhd Tan Sri Dato'Ir. Othman Merican presented the cheques with a total value of RM463,561.89 to the institutions and individuals from Subang Jaya and neighbouring constituencies.
