Ramadan Cheer to 120 Children and Teens

Paragon Globe Berhad (Paragon Globe) and Paragon Market Place (PMP) coordinated a “Ramadan Prihatin” programme on 6th May 2021 by visiting two selected orphanages in Johor Bahru to offer festive cheers and assistance to them.

During the tour, Paragon Globe and PMP management and associates distributed vital items to Asrama Kebajikan Ar-Rayyan and Pusat Jagaan Kasih Setanggi, benefiting 120 needy children and teenagers.

Rice, cooking oil, rice vermicelli, flour, coffee powder, chocolate malt drink, sweetened creamer, sugar, cordial, toothpaste, body shampoo, bleach, washing powder, fabric softener, dishwashing liquid, and toilet cleaners were distributed to each orphanage. Children and teenagers from both orphanages, aged 4 to 17, were also given “Duit Raya” and a goodie bag each.

Commenting on the “Ramadan Prihatin” programme, Dato’ Sri Godwin Tan Pei Poh, Group Executive Director of Paragon Globe and Executive Director of Joland Group, said, “This is a first-time collaboration of Paragon Globe and PMP to organise such a Ramadan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. We are delighted to bring some cheer and warmth to the children with our “Ramadan Prihatin” programme.”

“Apart from our commitment to contribute back to the society, we would also like to extend our helping hand to the underprivileged children and teenagers for a better and joyful Ramadan and upcoming Raya. We hope that this small gesture would ease part of the orphanage’s financial burden during the COVID-19 pandemic,” he added.

To ensure the safety of the children and teenagers, standard operating procedures were strictly followed during the visit to the two orphanages, such as taking body temperature before registering, applying hand sanitiser, maintaining social distancing, and speeding up the handover process.
