IT WAS an afternoon of fun and food for some 120 children who attended the Deeparaya Open House 2009 hosted by Tropicana Golf & Country Resort Berhad (TGCR) at its clubhouse.
The children and orphans came from three homes, namely Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PDK) Selayang, Association of Social Services and Community Development of Gombak District and Rumah Anak Yatim Darul Kifayah, Gombak.
Happy fans: The children from Rumah Anak Yatim Darul Kifayah, Gombak with Aishah of Akademi Fantasia 7 (seated, centre). Personnel and administration manager N. Muthu Muniyaandy said TGCR had been hosting such functions for underprivileged children for more than 10 years.
“We host an open house every year during Hari Raya and Deepavali. It’s our way of extending festive cheer to the less fortunate,” he said.
The children were treated to a delicious high tea buffet treat by TGCR that featured a spread of lemang, rendang, ketupat, satay, fried rice and noodles, as well as ABC for dessert.
Muthu and TGCR security manager Ismail Saleh also handed out duit raya and goodie bags comprising stationery items, chocolates, drinks and cereal to the children.
The highlight of the event was the performance by three artistes - Farah Asyikin of Malaysian Idol, Aishah of Akademi Fantasia 7 and Ika of Akademi Fantasia 6.
The children had a great time as they sang along to their favourite tunes, while the braver ones even went onstage to dance with the singers.
