PEALS of laughter rang through the premises of the Assunta Children Society (ACS) in Petaling Jaya recently as Banana the clown entertained the children with his antics.

The fun-filled afternoon was organised by sports and recreational organisation Delta Club, which also donated RM12,000 to the society as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme.

Bukit Gasing assemblyman Edward Lee witnessed the handing over of the mock cheque by Delta Club manager Ewe Teik Kwong to Sister Angela Wong from the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, which runs the children’s home.

Wong said the ACS catered for 45 children from underprivileged families, mostly from the nearby Kampung Medan area.

“They do not stay here but they come here for breakfast and lunch, and we have a study routine for them,” she said.

The objective of the ACS is to equip the children with better education so that they can have a better life.

After the cheque presentation ceremony, the children were treated to a lunch of pizza and fried chicken served by Santa and his Santarinas.
