Kuala Kubu Bharu – The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA), has again sponsored and launched its support on “Back to School 2022” programme organised by Pertubuhan Perkembangan Dan Evolusi Pendidikan India Selangor (PEPIS). The event was officiated by YB Dato’ Dr. Mah Hang Soon, Deputy Minister of Education 1.
The “Back to School 2022” programme is aimed at bringing children in the B40 category back to school by supporting them with schooling aids including uniforms, shoes, bags, stationery supplies and Covid-19 protective gears in line with school SOPs. A total of 318 students of primary and secondary levels from 16 schools under the Hulu Selangor district will benefit from this programme. Each student will receive school stationery support materials worth RM400 with additional RM200 in cash allowance.
“The MARGMA Foundation has always been generous and magnanimous to deserving students and this time around, our Board of Trustees has also agreed to provide an additional RM200 cash allowance together with the other schooling materials. One of the greatest joy in living is in the giving and MARGMA Foundation will continue to elevate the welfare and well-being of this group of students. We sincerely hope this would help lessen the financial burden of these students, allowing them to focus instead on returning to school and excel in their studies. Our total sponsorship for this programme is RM190, 800. Additionally, MARGMA Foundation will look into sponsoring a pedestrian walkway at SMK Syed Mashor for the students,” said Denis Low, MARGMA Foundation Chairman.
MARGMA Foundation has sponsored a similar programme with PEPIS involving 110 students in 11 schools previously.
“We have expanded our support to more schools involving more students this time round as the Covid-19 pandemic in the last 2 years have caused more families and students to struggle through education and basic needs. Our Association is ever mindful of the need to do our part in CSR activities and it is only natural that we choose to assist these deserving students. We want to ensure that these children are not discouraged by circumstances and are aware that they are being recognized as important future talents in our community,” said Dr. Supramaniam Shanmugam, President of MARGMA.
