The Star Malaysia

Concert in aid of young refugees

-

HELP University in collaborat­ion with United Nations High Commission­er for Refugees (UNHCR) under Project Self-help will be organising a charity concert by the Canticle Singers on Feb 24 and 25. The event will raise funds to provide free educationa­l opportunit­ies for young refugees in Malaysia.

This project is ongoing to enable refugees to gain some skills that will enable them to earn an income and live independen­tly regardless of their circumstan­ces, and provide them with dignity and self-respect.

HELP University has designed a special programme for the refugees where they attend practical classes in a few areas such as English, hospitalit­y, culinary skills, auto mechanics and multimedia.

Classes are ongoing for the refugees but funds are needed so more can attend the classes which are conducted by experience­d tutors.

To raise funds for this Project Self-help, HELP University has arranged a musical evening with the Canticle Singers titled “Odds and Ends”, an arrangemen­t of solo duets and choral songs for the entertainm­ent of the public who are invited to this event.

Those who enjoy music are invited to HELP University, Conference Hall, BZ-2, Pusat Bandar Damansara, Kuala Lumpur.
