For the third consecutive year, 200 employees at Sunway City Ipoh comprising Sunway Lost World Of Tambun, Lost World Hotel, The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat, Sunway College Ipoh, Sunway City Ipoh Group Security, Sunway City Ipoh Property, gathered today at Sunway Lost World Hotel to pack 40,000 meals for the villagers through the Sahabat Orang Asli Project – a project to reach out to the Orang Asli community.

Carried out under Sunway’s CSR C.A.R.E. (Community Aid, Reach-out and Enrichment) Project, Sunway City Ipoh has adopted the Stop Hunger Now meal packing programme since 2014 to go the extra mile to reach out to underprivileged and impoverished communities.

The strong volunteerism spirit amongst Sunway staff across different regions was displayed in solidarity, with the Stop Hunger Now programme raising staff contributions of RM 10,000 this year alone, which is equivalent to 10,000 meals.

Driven by the vision of a world without hunger, Stop Hunger Now – a United States-based organisation delivers food and life-saving aid to the world’s most vulnerable people. Established in 1998, Stop Hunger Now has since provided more than 225 million meals in 73 countries. 

Throughout the event, volunteers who are also members of Sunway’s staff club – Kelab Social Sunway (KSS), formed assembly lines to pack highly nutritious, high-protein dehydrated meals comprising rice, soy, vegetables, flavouring and 21 essential vitamins and minerals all in one package. At RM1.00 per meal, each package provides a reasonable serving for six to feed Orang Asli communities in Kampung Sekam in Tapah, Kampung Sinju in Simpang Pulai, Kampung Air Bah Lawin, Kampung Sungai Karah, Pos Kemar in Gerik, Pos Kuala and Pos Yum.
