Gifts galore for the poor

HANNAH Tan is not a Santa Claus but she certainly succeeded in putting smiles on the faces of many underprivileged children during Christmas and New Year.

She gave out 600 presents worth about RM15,000 to various charity homes.

The children, aged between five and 12 years, came from the Home of

Joy, Agathians Shelter Home, Angel Children Home, Precious Home and

Asrama Penyayang Nur Iman.

Happy lot: Some of the children w ith their presents.

They were the picture of delight as they received the presents from Tan and community service partner City Care.

The presents were all contributions from the public who attended Tan’s star-studded Christmas Charity Concert last December. The event challenged people to bring gifts of any value (instead of money) in exchange for entrance to the concert.

In exchange, Tan and industry friends such as Harith Iskander, Pietro

Felix, Daphne Iking, Jojo Struys, Reefa, Sasi The Don, Meet Uncle

Hussain, Reymee and Sam of Innuendo, The Fabulous Cats, Atilia,

Dennis Lau and Liang put on an energetic performance that commemorated the spirit of Christmas at The Gardens Hotel Ballroom,

Midvalley.

Entertaining: The opening act at the concert.

The audience were also treated to a performance by the ambassador of

Japan, Masahiko Horie, who received applause with his rendition of

Malaysia’s favourite song Getaran Jiwa .

“I’m overwhelmed and humbled by everyone’s generosity in giving to the needy.

“Children deserve a great time during Christmas and the New Year holidays, said Tan adding that the gift count had exceeded the targeted amount.

The concert was an initiative by Tan and the H-Factor Community

Service Team.

Now based in Japan, Tan will be returning in April to organise the “H”

Factor Creative Youth Convention.
