Taylor’s Lakeside – Diploma in Tourism students (Batch 34) are the first batch to organise a charity event as part of their final semester trip.
‘Clothe a Child & Feed the Hungry’, held on 11 March, was carried out to raise funds for the Chres Village School & Orphanage in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The idea for the charitable effort came about as they were planning a 5-day tour to a Southeast Asian country.
“Since we will be visiting Chres Village, we figured that we should raise money for them as well, hence this project,” Chairperson Vanessa Tevi said.
Held outside the Student Life Centre, the event attracted a great turnout, proving to be the perfect opportunity for the organisers to spread awareness and raise funds for those in need.
Among the various activities held throughout the event were pool, arm wrestling, and a ‘Fear Factor’ competition. Winners of the pool and ‘Fear Factor’ competition were awarded with a two-day one- night stay in either Langkawi or Penang courtesy of Nantha Travels.
None of the contestants left empty handed as they were given sponsored vouchers by Sakae Sushi and T-Bowl. Other sponsors such as Genxin Charity, Mercedez-Benz and Explorer Travel pitched in by donating directly to Chres Village.
