During the past Saturday, CBI Penang volunteers made a powerful impact at the Hari Cuci Malaysia event in the George Town heritage zone. After gathering at 7am, the volunteers were split into seven groups and were briefed on the ins and outs of waste separation.
Armed with gloves and bags, our volunteers meticulously cleaned the historic streets, working together to restore the area's UNESCO beauty. The result was a significant haul of collected litter, safely bagged and removed.
Huge props to our incredible team for their energy and commitment. Every bag filled in a step toward a more beautiful Malaysia.

With Mid-Autumn Festival just around the corner, CBI volunteers once again partnered with Urban Peacemaker to organize a Lantern DIY Workshop for children from underprivileged families to celebrate the festival in advanced.
Our volunteers guided the little ones in creating both modern and traditional-style lanterns, turning the session into a joyful celebration of creativity and cultural connection. The children’s laughter and focused efforts filled the room as they crafted their own festive lanterns under the supportive guidance of the CBI volunteer team 🎨
Carrying heartfelt holiday wishes, CBI also prepared festive gift bags for each family as a festive blessing. This was not just a hands-on experience but also a warm initiative to spread light, hope, and companionship. Thanks to all CBI volunteers for your time and dedication—let’s continue spreading warmth together! 💛

We want to extend our sincere gratitude to the wonderful CBI Penang volunteers who contributed their time and effort to support the Hospice Charity Fun Fair last weekend.
From early morning until the event concluded, our team worked diligently to set up food stalls and game booths, organize prizes, and assist participants throughout the day. Despite some rainy weather, the volunteers kept spirits high as they helped children enjoy games and win prizes.
All proceeds from the fun fair will benefit the Penang Hospice Society's Hospice at Home Programme, providing essential care for patients in need.
Thank you to all our volunteers for your hard work and kindness. Your dedication truly made this event a success and demonstrated CBI's commitment to supporting our community.
