The Background of the Schools

SK and SMK Lembah Subang are designated “Trust Schools” under Yayasan Amir’s Trust School Programme.

“Trust” schools are under-performing and/or draw students from less fortunate communities.

The schools’ catchment area is a poor community in Lembang Subang, PJ, just behind Citta Mall.

40% of the children come from families with an average income of less than RM 2000 per month.

Family income below RM 4000 per month is considered low in come in KL and PJ.

The schools have expressed concern about,

1) quality of the food at school canteen

2) the ability of the children to afford meals, and

3) that many children don’t eat breakfast.

Survey showed that most children have less than RM3 to spend at school per day.

There are approximately 920 pupils from 500 families in the SK (primary school).

Puan Noor Ismahwati Ismail who is one of the school faculty administrators, currently runs a breakfast club for

less advantaged students.

“I try to get donation of biscuits, crackers, buns or simple food for the pupils to eat before the school started.

Everyday, there is/are pupils can not afford to bring money or just simply been denied by their parents.”

11

…continued

The canteen Operator is the sole vendor, selling traditional items such as Nasi Lemak, noodle soup, keropok,

nuggets and other items.

The prices range from RM1 – 1.50 for most meal items.

Nuggets are 40 cents.

The canteen operator sometimes serves breakfast – she makes an occasional batch of noodles, but this is

irregular.

She employs 7 staff and runs a catering business on weekends.

She knows what she sells is not healthy but does not seem interested to include MakanLah! items for sale as it

will eat into her profit margin.

Outside the school there are several illegal sellers who set up to capture the market of kids as they leave school

at noon.

They sell fried chicken, coloured sweet drinks, keropok, and various other unhealthy and questionably hygienic

items. They do not sell in the mornings.

12

The Birth of SHR Breakfast Club

SHR together with MakanLah! agreed to provide needy children within these schools with a healthy breakfast.

RM2000 per month will be funded to support this CSR project.

The healthy food will be created by SHR and delivered directly to the school in the morning during recess

hour. (on a monthly basis between the primary and secondary schools)

Menu items are determined through the MakahLah! food tasting survey results, as there were children

participated from SK and SMK Lembah Subang.

Anticipated Results

• Needy students consume healthy food

• Students eat breakfast

• Student appreciate the value of good nutrition

• Schools incorporates a successful nutrition based reform into its agenda

• SHR responds to the needs of its immediate community

• SHR’s brand value augmented through positive corporate engagement

Cost Considerations

• SHR provides the food (RM2 per pupil per month) 920 pupils in Primary school and 600 pupils in Secondary

school's data.

• SK/SMK teachers commit time to organize the students

• SHR makes a small grant to MakanLah! to manage and facilitate the engagement strategy for 12 months.

Santa for a ‘Cause’

31

Agathians Shelter is a legally registered welfare home

under the name: Pertubuhan Kebajikan Agathians

Malaysia (0061-04-7). They are a welfare home located at

Petaling Jaya.

They have 40 boys who are either orphans, abandoned or

from broken family, the age ranges between 5 till 20 years

old.

Their mission is to save the children from the streets and

their aim is to fulfil all essential needs in every kid’s life such

as shelter, food, education, care, attention and love.

Agathians Shelter was founded by Mr.Siva Balan (Brother

Siva) in an attempt to rescue 8 boys from an illegal

orphanage closed down in 2003.

As past years, during the year end festive

season, SHR will embark on a fund raising

programme to help the underpriviledged

children from Agathians Shelter in

preparing the new school year 2017.

All proceeds of the Santa Doll sales will be

donated to the home.

Selangor Philharmonic Orchestra

32

The Selangor Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO) is a non-profit

organization with a vision of promoting and spreading the

beauty of classical music in Selangor, educating and

training young musicians to appreciate large scale

performance and organization, and discovering new

talent from local communities and providing them an

opportunity to perform in concert.

As a non-profit organization, the SPO has limited resources

to pursue its objectives.

Along the way, the SPO has grown and now unites

together some 200 talented musicians under one baton!

They have also given birth to two satellite musical groups:

the Selangor Philharmonic Youth Orchestra as well as the

Selangor Philharmonic Wind Orchestra.

The SPO has grown its fan base, with a lively presence

online and on social media.

A token has been given to support and

provide a platform for SPO local classical

musicians to perform and share wonderful

music for the benefit of the community.
