Penang, 3rd February 2013 —
About 40 bloggers and public the Children’s Protection Society to distribute
food, beverages and gadgets, sponsored by various commercial entities. It’s a
philanthropic exercise not only by businesses in executing their Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) but by everyone to give back to the society, thus
making life more bearable for everyone in need. The event is made possible by
Crowdpot Sdn Bhd (Event Organizer), Ninetology Malaysia, SUBWAY® (Suntech, iAvenue, & Leith Street branches),
Chatime Malaysia, Langkawi Saga Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd. and Alextan
Artworks.
The Children’s
Protection Society (CPS) began as an initiative of Dato’ Nazir Ariff when he
was President of the Rotary Club in Penang
(1991). It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs
of neglected and/or abandoned children in Penang.
It was officially launched in April 1992 by Puan Sri Chua Kah Peng. The
objectives of CPS are both immediate and longer-term. The immediate objective
is to provide children at risk with a safe, supportive and conducive environment
(Shelter). Their concerned and focused areas include the emotional and physical
development, education, social and recreational skills. At the same time, CPS
aims to work with parents and other family members, so that the child can
eventually be reunited with his/her family. In the pipeline, they hope to
support projects to enhance community-based facilities for childcare and
development in areas where such facilities are lacking. They also try to
promote a more general awareness of the issues relating to children at risk by
being involved in training and discussions. Hence they work together with
various government and non-government organizations to help to develop
longer-term strategies and goals.
