Deepavali Cheer
Inner Wheel Club of Petaling Jaya
10 October 2022
The Inner Wheel Club of Petaling Jaya (IWCPJ) held a “Deepavali Cheer” to bring joy to 15 financially challenged single-mothers on Monday, 10th October 2022 at the Gurdwara Sahib Klang, Selangor. Each of the recipients was presented with a purchase-voucher worth RM150 plus a cash gift of RM50 by President Navarani Veithilingam and members. The happiness and gratitude on the mothers’ faces to get the additional financial support to celebrate Deepavali was beyond words.
The warm gesture of the Chairman, Mr Santokh Singh and volunteers of the Gurdwara in allowing the use of their premises as well as providing food, was much appreciated. IWC PJ also owes a big thank you to the members of its sister-club IWC Klang for their support by attending the cheer and in particular, to President Dr. Theyveeka for giving a brief health screening to these single-mothers and referral letters for follow-up checks at nearby clinics.
IWCPJ are focused on continuing to aid and cheer-up single mothers in whatever way it can. This is in line with International Inner Wheel’s current theme of Work wonders.
