So there I was at Cheras Leisure Mall today to catch their Toy Bank, A Gift Of Love Gift Presentation Ceremony. Wishes of over 400 children from 12 children's homes and charity houses are fulfilled through their community programme with a noble aim of brightening up the smiles of these kids. Pretty nice effort, especially in this Christmas season of giving.

With the active participation of shoppers, more than 2000 gifts including household items were deposited into the Toy Bank located at the ground floor of Cheras Leisure Mall throughout the programmed which started from 5th to 28th December 2014. Participants had to pick a card from the wishing house, select a gift from a child's wish list, include a message on the card and deposit these into the Toy Bank.

Apart from gifts prepared according to the children's wish lists, shoppers also donated household necessity items such as rice, cooking oil, sugar, salt, oatmeal, biscuits, canned food, packet drinks, instant coffee, instant noodles, snacks, candies, tissues, mosquito repellant, toiletries and detergent. Over 200 children from the participating children's homes were present today at Cheras Leisure Mall for a fun-packed day with a scrumptious lunch and dance performances listed as one of the activities held.
