Over 270 guests attended, 40 children from Rumah Qaseh Ibu Orphanage home and seven children of the Embrace recipients and their families. The Buka Puasa was a joined celebration with fashion house Rizman Ruzaini as well as a host of celebrities and media friends.
Sachin Tyagi, Resident Manager at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, welcomed guests to the event. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to host the event and the hotel’s commitment to giving back to the community through their Embrace Gift of Life charity program. “The Embrace Gift of Life charity program is an important initiative for us,” said Tyagi. “We are proud to be able to make a difference in the lives of these children and their families.”
The evening was a great success, and the children were treated to a delicious meal, a fun-filled evening of entertainment and the distribution of duit Raya.
