CSR project#1 by Responsible Blogging- The Ramakrishna Ashrama

There’s an event on 3^rd Feb 2013 organized by a responsible blogging to pay visits to the homes as a part of the Corporate Social Responsibilty(CSR) project. About 40 bloggers and public people visited the Ramakrishna Ashrama went to distribute food, beverages and gadgets, sponsored by various commercial entities. 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. I would like to thank Criz Lai for sharing the information and photos as i was not there on the actual day but was invited to blog about this meaningful events. 

The Ashrama runs an orphanage, catering for both boys and girls with ages ranging from 6 to 20 years old. The orphanage admits needy orphaned children who are poor and need the help from the society to assist them with basic needs and education. The children in the home are given proper education and are well cared for so that they will grow up to be useful citizens. Besides education, the girls learn traditional dancing, cooking and housekeeping. Children excelling well academically are encouraged to pursue higher education.
