During the month of June, Malaysians were encouraged to
play basketball,
dance,
skip,
cycle,
run,
stair-climb,
play volleyball,
anything!
As long as they MOVED.
Even shopping was considered moving!
All this moving wasn’t in vain, no siree.
Every effort and bead of sweat was accumulated to measure in KM from one end of Malaysia to the other,
with the promise that when this was achieved,
all the KM would be converted into donations for underprivileged children.
So all this moving wasn’t just inspiring Malaysians to be healthier,
but to chip in, in their own way, for the less fortunate children in the country.
After less than a month of double the reason to move,
overwhelming response allowed Rexona Move to accomplish a total of 10,695km
in a much shorter timeframe than expected!
Thanks to EVERYONE’S contribution,
Rexona has activated its support for 13 children homes
in 13 Malaysian states – starting with Perlis, Kedah, Penang and Perak.
In Perlis, Rexona donated some of my favourite educational toys like Lego, Monopoly and Scrabble to Pusat Jagaan Hembusan Kasih.
In Kedah’s Rumah Budi, Rexona Move noticed the interest of children on swimming and offered 24 children 10-week long swimming lessons.
In Penang, Rexona Move partnered with Children Protection’s Society to organise a fun dance session to inject excitement and colours into the lives of 30 children residing there.
Educational books were donated to Perak’s Pusat Jagaan Anak-anak Yatim & Miskin Nurul Aman to encourage reading and learning amongst the 22 children under their care.
Schools in Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang will be next on Rexona Move’s stops…
… with activities like mending broken fences,
equipping the center with computers,
and offering drawing lessons
being carried out upon consulting the caregivers of each home.
Rexona Move is even supported by Sazzy Falak and Nazril Idrus (who are parents themselves),
who expressed how imperative it is for Malaysians to pay attention to underprivileged children,
many of whom are not receiving sufficient basic necessities and education.
