Events in Bangalore - 175 children to benefit from CapitaMalls Asia’s My Schoolbag programme held at Forum Value Mall, 13 December 2014, 12 to 3 pm

Forum Value Mall, Whitefield, will be holding the third edition of its annual “My Schoolbag” event on the 13th of December 2014, benefitting 175 children from the Government Higher Primary School in Gandhipura, Whitefield. The school children receiving the bag will get to experience Christmas festivities and the true warmth of the season of giving.

My Schoolbag is CapitaMalls Asia’s signature annual corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, whereby schoolbags containing school and daily necessities are given to underprivileged children in the five countries where its malls operate. The donation is made possible with funding from the CapitaLand Hope Foundation, the philanthropic arm of CapitaLand. My Schoolbag first began in Singapore in 2009, and was extended to India in the city of Bangalore in 2011.

Apart from the schoolbags, stationery and other daily necessities such as school shoes, lunch case the children beneficiaries will be treated to a meal at McDonalds and games at the Time Zone. Children will also get to experience the special Santa show - Santa will involve the children in fun acts and give away goodies.
Through this programme, Forum Value Mall hopes that the children will not only be given a headstart in school with the provision of the school necessities, but also be inspired through the activities to strive for a better life for their future. Forum Value Mall is an integral part of the community and it is proud to be able to give back to the community by supporting the next generation.
