Our CBI Penang volunteers were thrilled to return and support another meaningful event organized by WCC. As long-term supporters of WCC’s mission to end violence against women and children, we joined their recent bundle sale.
Beyond sorting clothes or keeping the racks tidy, our team focused on the heart of the initiative: the people. Our volunteers spent the day listening to stories, understanding individual needs. It was about creating a space where everyone felt truly seen.
As one volunteer shared: “Volunteering at the WCC bundle sales taught me that it is not just about selling clothes. It is about listening, understanding, and connecting.”
🤍 Thank you, WCC, for allowing us to be part of your journey once again.
