World Food Day

Taylor's Education Group (TEG) pledged to contribute one million meals to feed the hungry, in conjunction with the World Food Day as part of their CSR project.

It took place simultaneously across four campuses under the TEG umbrella. TCSJ & Sri Hartamas, TU Lakeside and Sri Garden Schools. More that 4000 volunteers from all walks of life as young as 6 years old, contributing their time and energy for the benefit of the hungry all over the world.

In collaboration with the American-based NGO, Stop Hunger Now, the packed food will be distributed to crisis-burdened areas or school feeding programmes locally and around the world including Somalia.

Each meal packet contains six highly-nutritious dehydrated meals of rice, soy, vegetables, flavouring and 21 essential vitamins and minerals, which can be augmented with local spices and flavours.

Thanks to all sponsors and volunteers!

I went over to subang campus to take a peep on how is their progress. The number of tables were smaller but all of the volunteers we very excited and enthusiastic on this event.





Everyone worked really hard and I am sure all of us had fun especially with upbeat music, some even dancing and singing to it! I manage to get my hands on the weighing counter as my task. I wanted to try helping in all counter but there were sooo many other volunteers waiting in line to help! They literally had to inform those on the counter that their time is up and give others a change to help pack. haha!

I do hope that Taylor's would organize this again next year! For a good cause :)

Nick and I hope to see you all next year!
If have la :)
