KUCHING: The Sarawak United National Youth Organisation (SABERKAS) Women's Bureau attended to the elderly at Sri Kenangan Kuching Home, KM20 Jalan Serian–Kuching, on Tuesday.

“A total of 83 clients of Rumah Sri Kenangan Kuching received benefits from this programme.

“Among the contributions presented were daily necessities such as food, personal care items and other basic necessities, with some of them presented symbolically,” she told the media after completing the symbolic handover.

Meanwhile, Datuk Sharifah Hasidah, who is also the SABERKAS Vice President expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to socialise with the residents of Rumah Sri Kenangan while emphasising the importance of human values, concern and compassion for the elderly who require constant attention.

She said that the welfare programmes implemented by the SABERKAS Women's Bureau are carried out consistently and encompass various levels of society regardless of background, including in conjunction with major festivals.

“The programme is not only intended to ease the burden of the residents, but also serves as a platform to strengthen friendships and instill the value of concern and social responsibility among the community,” she added. -UKASnews
