Philea Home

Last Thursday I’ve visited Philea Home with colleagues for charity. It's a company thing. We shut down one day for charity. Big deal huh? There are hundreds of us...some went to raise fund for orphanages and the other half visit the orphanage.

We were divided into teams. We have different people from different department in the team which is one of the company tactic to build relationship internally: P haha

So yea, my team was suppose to visit Philea Home and give them a makeover. It’s not those head to toe kind of makeover; instead this makeover is for a better living environment!

Philea Home situated in Kapar, Klang. Since Klang is famous for its Bak Kut Teh, we named our team after it. I would say team Bak Kut Teh spirits is very strong. We got everything organized and tasks divided evenly in very short time.

Thursday morning, we gathered 7.30am in office. One and a half hours earlier than normal working days.

Some of the early birds including me:P
*im not in the picture tho!

A total of seven cars and 25 of us drove to Philea Home.

Before the makeover, we were given a short introduction and briefing about Philea Home by Yogeswari. Most of the children were in school.

What did we do there?

1. Storeroom

installing shelf and rearranging the things.

To arranging the books back on the shelf with labels and categories
