Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur’s yearly corporate social responsibility programme, ‘A Star for a Child’, has run for the ninth year now. 50 golden stars which carried the name, gender and age of children from the Paediatric Oncology Unit of the General Hospital Kuala Lumpur were placed on the beautifully illuminated 20 feet tall Christmas tree.

Guests were invited to pick a star from the Christmas tree to sponsor a gift for their chosen child. All gifts will then be placed under the tree and personally hand-delivered on 20 December 2016 to the children at the hospital.

“The festive season is a time of celebration and reflection. It is a time to give thanks for the many blessings and opportunities bestowed upon us; and it is also a time for sharing and giving. As we reach out to family, friends and business associates, we also open our hearts to those who are less fortunate. We are truly delighted to continue a wonderful tradition that was started years ago, more so one that sends a strong message of hope to the children and their families,” said Gibbons.
