Exclusive Hari Raya Celebration For 100 Orphanage Children where Guardian Malaysia continues festive goodwill by keeping traditions alive.

In celebration of Syawal, leading pharmacy, health and beauty retailer Guardian Malaysia held an exclusive Aidilfitri celebration for 100 children from three orphanages across the Klang Valley. The delightful evening of fun, festivity and food saw the children light up in smiles, while various activities in the progamme helped them revisit some age-old traditions of Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

The children from Pertubuhan Kebajikan dan Perlindungan Nur Qaseh Malaysia, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-anak Yatim Al-Nasuha, and Pusat Jagaan Baitus Sakinah Wal Mahabbah enjoyed a festive fare of sayur lodeh, rendang, serunding, lemang, ketupat, and traditional desserts such as dodol and wajik.
