Running on the theme “Care – Give – Love”, Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Suites co-organised a Christmas lunch on Friday, December 22 with Kiwanis Club of Meru Valley for 42 kids and 11 caretakers from four homes: Good Shepherd Family Home, Praise Boys Home, Praise Girls Home and Praise Emmanuel Home.
“We organise charity projects every Christmas in the hotel and have collaborated with Kiwanis a few times. Our aim is to provide a helping hand to the unfortunate groups,” Amelia Teng, assistant marcom manager of Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Suites told Ipoh Echo. Present was Christopher Lau, president of Kiwanis Club of Meru Valley.
The afternoon kicked off with Santa Clause making an appearance distributing candy followed by a sumptuous buffet spread at the Palong Coffee House. Post-lunch, there were interactive games such as piñata and presentation of school uniforms, water tumblers, lunch boxes, stationeries and chocolates to the children.
