Loves the River with Children from orphanage homes

Orphans from 4 orphanage homes in Klang Valley, WWP team, PAAB management and Salcon team took a group photos at the river bank near Klang Gates dam.



Children from 4 orphanage homes in KlangValley had a fun and exciting day learning the importance of water and river conservation through a river awareness programme organized by Salcon Berhad together with Water Watch Penang (WWP) and Malaysia Environmental NGO (MENGO) on 16 April 2011 (Sat). 

The programme is conducted as part of Salcon’s corporate responsibility programme to raise awareness of river water protection and conservation amongst school-going children in the Klang valley. 56 children (6 – 18 years old) and 4 wardens from Rumah Sayangan, Rumah Hope and Rumah Kebajikan Karunai lllam and Rumah Kebajikan Anbu Illam participated in this programme at Klang river (nearby Klang Gate Dam). The children were taught how to conduct water samplings and carry out checks on micro-organisms found in the river to understand its eco-system.

Dato' Ahmad Faizal Abdul Rahman, CEO of Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad (PAAB) and Tan Sri Dato’ Tee Tiam Lee, Deputy Chairman of Salcon Berhad graced the River & Water Awareness & Education Programme and spent some time with the children at the river bank near Klang Gates dam.

This is the second time that Salcon is conducting such programmes in collaboration with WWP and MENGO. The first one was successfully held in last July for school children from SMK Seksyen 5, Wangsa Maju.
