Deepavali is the holy celebration of lights. It’s one of the most celebrated festivals in Malaysia. As we live in a multinational country, all of us are equals. Moreover, like Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year and Christmas, the celebration will be meaningful if we have all the necessities.
Therefore, for this upcoming Deepavali, let’s help the ones in need by giving them one of the best Deepavali they will ever experience.

Also, it doesn’t have to be financial or item support. You can also donate your energy by helping the volunteers distribute the items and spend quality time with the occupants.
One good deed comes a long way. Moreover, your kindness might change their lives forever. Who knows? With your help, this will be the best Deepavali celebration they will ever have. Hence, let’s help them the best we can!
