KIULU: In keeping with their word, a group of philanthropists has returned for the fourth year in a row to provide support to the San Damiano Hostel Kiulu.
As part of their charitable endeavour, they paid a visit to the dormitory today and informed their desire to teach baking and cooking to 115 students as part of their volunteer work.
The group led by Collin Tan said this after donating food and other necessities to the hostel that housed 69 girls and 46 boys aged 11-19.
Kiulu Assemblyman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai was on hand to witness the contribution. Also present was San Damiano Hostel Advisor Sr Jane Sandulan.
He praised the philanthropists for their sincerity in providing students with practical life skills to foster a sense of community and support among San Damiano Hostel residents and volunteers.
“Cooking and sharing meals can be a social and community-building activity, allowing residents to connect with each other and the volunteers. This can create a sense of belonging and improve social wellbeing,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sr Jane expressed gratitude to the philanthropists for their unwavering support of the needs and wellbeing of San Damiano Hostel residents.
She said they looked forward to the cooking training skill, which she believed would have a significant impact on the quality of life and health of San Damiano Hostel residents.
