21 March: Denis Group celebrates its 150th anniversary
Denis Group has celebrated its 150 years in the Singapore Old Parliament on the 21st March 2012. In Denis Group spirit, a festive event is completely successful only if it is also the time to share. Once again, Denis Group has decided to help children and has presented donations for two great organizations : Sok Sabay, Cambodia and The Straits Times School Pocket Money, Singapore.
More about Sok Sabay
In 2004, Times Magazine has distinguished Mrs. Marie Camal, founder and Chairman of Sok Sabay, as “heroes of our times” and “Children’s crusader”. Sok Sabay is a registered charity that cares for children in Cambodia. They have a residential shelter in Phnom Penh, for children who have been rescued from domestic violence, physical or mental abuse, slavery, starvation, abandonment, acute & chronic malnutrition. What makes a difference is that Sok Sabay offers the children a solid education with the opportunity to continue their studies in college and universities.
More about The Straits Times School Pocket Money
The Straits Times School Pocket Money started in 2000 as a community project initiated by The Straits Times that provides pocket money to children from low-‐income families to help them through school. The children can use this money for school-‐related expenses, such as buying a meal during recess, paying for their bus fares or using it to meet their other schooling needs. The financial help also eases the burden of the many parents, who are already struggling to feed their families on their meagre incomes. In its first 10 years, it raised more than $44 million and helped more than 85,000 cases. As it grew in size and helped more beneficiaries, it realized it had potential to do more beyond just giving pocket money. It was officially established as a Trust on Oct 20, 2010 with a Board of Trustees and was granted charity status on Nov 14, 2011 with Institution of A Public Character (IPC) status effective from Jan 1, 2012.
New Year: Sok Sabay Calendar
New Year is a good opportonity to start well by sharing with needed children. For the last three years, Denis Group sponsor Sok Sabay by editing a calendar. If you willing to participate and help us to raise money for these children, your organization can contact us to get calendars to sell and get funds for the children education.
