A Meal, A Story, A Future: InfoConnect’s Touching Visit to SJK (C) St Teresa

From Meals to Growth: InfoConnect’s CSR Journey

19th August 2024

 in conjunction with our 30th Year Anniversary, InfoConnect had the privilege of visiting SJK (C) St Teresa as part of our ongoing support for the “A Meal A Day” (AMAD) Program, hosted by the Lions Club of Kuala Lumpur. This initiative aims to provide nutritious meals to B40 students, helping them focus on their studies and stay healthy.

A Day Filled with Stories of Resilience and Blessings

Our visit to SJK (C) St Teresa was not just a routine event; it was a day that deeply moved us. As we listened to the stories shared by the students, we were reminded of the real-life impact of our support. The B40 community in Malaysia faces significant hardships, and for many of these students, the simple act of receiving a nutritious meal at school is a crucial lifeline.

The students shared personal stories about the challenges they face at home, making it clear how important the AMAD Program is in their lives. Some spoke of how the meals provided them the energy to participate in extracurricular activities, while others expressed gratitude for having the strength to stay focused in class, no longer distracted by hunger.

Not only that, but the school’s also faced some significant adversity with a parent from the Parent’s and Teachers committee (PIBG) shared how the heavy downpour last year had resulted in the school’s combined efforts to clean up the mess and damage left by the disaster. Their efforts were shown as the school was one of the cleanest and beautiful looking school’s that we’ve visited, making it more conducive to conduct lessons.

These stories were both heartwarming and heart-wrenching, highlighting the resilience of these young individuals and their teachers. Their determination to succeed, despite the obstacles they face, is a testament to the importance of the AMAD Program.

 

Miss Lim’s Encouraging Words

 

During the visit, Miss Lim Huey May, representing InfoConnect, delivered a speech that resonated with everyone present. Her words were filled with warmth and encouragement, aiming to inspire the students to persevere in their studies and remain hopeful for the future.

“Every challenge you face today will shape you into strong individuals. Don’t ever lose hope and remember that your education is the key to a brighter future. Stay focused, ask for help when you need it, and always believe in yourselves,” Miss Lim shared with a sincere and caring tone.

Her speech reminded everyone that education is a journey, and with the right support, these students can overcome the obstacles in their way.



Expressions of Gratitude from the Students

 

The students at SJK (C) St Teresa expressed their heartfelt gratitude through speeches. One student shared how the program has allowed them to participate in school activities they previously could not.

These expressions of thanks were more than just polite gestures—they were genuine acknowledgments of the program’s impact on their lives. We were presented a badge of their school as a sign of gratitude from their school.

InfoConnect’s Ongoing Commitment

 

Our partnership with the Lions Club of Kuala Lumpur for the AMAD Program is a reflection of InfoConnect’s deep-seated belief in giving back to the community. We understand that the future of these young minds is crucial, not just for them, but for the entire nation.

As we left SJK (C) St Teresa, our hearts were full. The stories we heard and the gratitude we felt reinforced our commitment to the AMAD Program. At InfoConnect, we are more determined than ever to continue supporting these students, knowing that our efforts are making a real difference in their lives.
