As part of the Group’s corporate responsibilities activities for the year, staff of Berjaya Corporation Berhad led by Dato’ Robin Tan, Executive Director of Berjaya Corporation Berhad visited Harvest Centre (“HC”) in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur on 27 October 2009. At the centre, the group toured the classes and the Epoch Youth Centre where they had the opportunity to meet the bright students and the teachers. The group also had a chance to taste the appetizing lunch prepared by the students at the youth centre.

HC is a non-profit company which focuses on providing educational programmes for urban underprivileged children around Kuala Lumpur. The centre also provides training for youth and volunteers. HC currently caters to 470 students.
