In March 2003, the Green Team Committee has organized a donation of used greeting cards to Joblink center in Penang. It is a center that provides job training for handicaps. Old greeting cards were collected from employees and were donated to this center.

On August 19, 2004, Silterra paid a visit to the Pusat Harian Kanak-Kanak Spastik (Daycare Centre for Handicapped Children) in Ipoh, Perak. The visit's aim was to help disadvantaged children bridge the digital divide. This was achieved through the donation of four units of computers to the Daycare Centre.

The annual donation drive by the Surau Committee was held to benefit two organizations: the Sungai Tengas Old Folks Home and The Children of Ex-Soldiers Orphanage, both located in Kulim. Silterrians were on hand to deliver donations in cash and kind, as well as to bring cheer and joy to the residents of both organizations.

Silterra employees raised almost RM 10,000 and collected 24 boxes of clothing and other necessities within three days after the tsunami hit countries in the region. The cash amount, which includes employee donation and company matching fund, has exceeded RM 23,000. The contributions were given to the victims in Malaysia, especially those who are related to the company’s employees.

On 3rd Feb ’05, Silterra representatives visited Rumah Bakti Tunas -- a charity organization for the abused, neglected and abandoned children. Thanks to the goodwill and compassion shown by our fellow Silterrians, the children were showered with toys, clothes, books and school uniforms.

 

July 11, 2006 - As part of Silterra’s continuing efforts to help bridge the digital divide, a group of 5 employees led by En Tahir Hamdan contributed three personal computers (PCs) to Sunshine Cottage Centre recently.

Located in Kulim, Sunshine Cottage Centre is a home managed by a non-profit organization for children from broken families as well as those without relatives. It also provides shelter for people with physical and mental disabilities.

The Centre owes its efficient functioning to the dedicated couple, Edmund and Maria, who have devoted their undivided time and attention to provide a nurturing and nourishing environment for the 38 occupants.

While the Centre relies on public donations to pay for its basic amenities, individual volunteers as well as those from various organisations provide free tuition and assist in housekeeping. Silterra’s regular volunteers at the home are Samivel, Kaledas, Kalavathi and Leena.

During the presentation ceremony, Edmund and Maria expressed their gratitude and said they were confident that the PCs donated by Silterra would help the occupants develop greater interest in information and communication technology. Edmund and Maria also said that their long term plan is to start a computer centre whereby children from other schools can enjoy the benefits of computers. Currently the Centre is in need of clothes, school uniforms, shoes, socks, blankets, mattresses, pillows, computer tables and chairs. Silterrians who would like to contribute to the Centre are encouraged to do so by contacting Ms Leena.
