“I noticed several children drawing houses, maybe around ten children. There must be a factor that makes drawing houses their favorite ,” said Hasan, a Representative from the Uswatun Hasanah Foundation. He added that the children in their foundation have been living in the same complex of buildings, from school to where they sleep. “From the speaker (Amelia), I was informed that some of them (children from the orphanage) long to live in a home with a family like other children normally do,” Hasan added, representing the feelings of the children from the orphanage expressed through their drawings.
Cecillia Ong, Chief Operating Officer of Cakap, stated that this sharing activity is not just limited to material donations such as wearable clothing but goes beyond that, aiming to help develop the potential of children, including those in orphanages. “As part of the Cakap Untuk Bangsa program, we seek to tap into children’s emotional intelligence through character-building activities and upskilling. Hopefully, the benefits received can have a more sustainable impact on the development of these children,” said Cecillia.
