SCB Staff wrapping presents for the Salvation Army Home for Boys
KUCHING, 16 December: The Sarawak Convention Bureau (SCB) recently held its Christmas Gathering cum Teambuilding at Union YES Retreat & Training Centre, Lundu with Mrs. Jill Henry (CEO), staff and their family members in attendance.
Organised by Events Horizon, one of the highlights of the two day trip was a visit to the Salvation Army Home for Boys where the staff of SCB together with their family members took part in a gift-wrapping activity and presentation of gifts. SCB have always worked together with the Salvation Army Home and wanted to include them in their Christmas activities to share the joy of the festive season. During the presentation of gifts, the boys of the Home joined in some carolling and singing with SCB staff and family members.
The Salvation Army Home for Boys in Kuching was established in the mid-1950s and has looked after more than 2,000 boys who are taught woodworking skills at a carpentry workshop. A balance of educational and recreational activities helps to build confidence and equip the boys with life skills they will need in the near future.
Mrs. Jill Henry, CEO of SCB comments, “The visit to the Salvation Army Home for Boys was part of our annual CSR activity to reach out to the local community. We have always encouraged our clients to take part in CSR programmes, so what better way to promote CSR than to practise what we preach and share a little Christmas spirit with others.”
The boys from the Salvation Army Home were all smiles upon receiving their gifts which they will open on Christmas morning. For more information or if you wish to contribute to the Salvation Army Home for Boys, please contact The Superintendent at 082 242 623.
