auction raised RM 14,000 for children’s home
Amee Philips
Exclusive Jewellery contributed a pearl suite for auction which was finally bought by Datin Ho Choy Meng for RM 9,000 while raffle ticket sales and donations from guests fetched another RM 5,000, thus raising the total amount to RM 14,000.
The entire amount of RM 14,000 cash was given to Shepherd’s Centre Foundation for abandoned or orphaned children.
Amee Philips has a heart of gold, diamond and jade as this fund raiser brought much cheer and joy to the poor children who feasted on grand food at the Christmas CSR hi-tea at Mandarin Oriental,
Kuala Lumpur.
*************************************************************************
For many, the Christmas season
brings back sweet memories of gifts in stockings, stuffed turkeys and the
setting up of Christmas trees in the hall. Yet, in this season of giving, we
must be reminded of children who, through unfortunate circumstances beyond
their control, have found themselves at the fringes of society, abandoned and
neglected by society.
This was the compelling reason behind the decision by
renowned Malaysian jewellery house Amee Philips Exclusive Jewellery to organize
the “Champagne With Santa” hi-tea at Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur today to
help spread the yuletide cheer to children of Shepherd’s Centre Foundation, a
foster home for abandoned children,.
Forming part of Amee Philips’
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, “Champagne With Santa” aims to
give back to society by helping raise funds for the Shepherd’s Home Foundation.
The event is co-sponsored by Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur.
Apart from treating 31
children aged 5 to 13 to hi-tea at the hotel, the CSR event will also feature a
Jewellery Auction and Raffle Draw featuring two valuable pieces of jewellery
worth RM14,000 contributed by Amee Philips Exclusive Jewellery, with proceeds from
the auction going to Shepherd’s Centre Foundation.
According to Andrew Philips,
Managing Director of Amee Philips Exclusive Jewellery, “As a responsible
corporate citizen Amee Philps Exclusive Jewellery is always seeking ways to
make a significant contribution to the welfare and progress of the communities
we operate in.
This is the reason why Amee Philips, with the support of
Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur, is hosting this Christmas hi-tea at Mandarin
Grill for the children from Shepherd’s Centre Foundation.”
Shepherd’s Centre Foundation is a foster home located in
Rawang, Selangor for children who are orphaned, abandoned, abused, and
neglected children from broken families.
It was established in 1993 by Pastor
Jacop and his wife Bridget David and was officially registered as a foundation
in 2000. The home now shelters 84 children, and has helped over 450 children to
graduate from institutions of higher learning.
The event kicked off at 2:00pm
at the posh Mandarin Grill, among KL’s best fine dining restaurants, with the
arrival of invited guests, close friends of Amee Philips, and children from
Shepherd’s Centre Foundation.
After a welcome speech by Andrew Philips,
Managing Director of Amee Philips Exclusive Jewellery, and a few words from Bridget
David, Home Director of Shepherd’s Centre Foundation, guests were treated to a
heart-warming Christmas Performance given by children of the home.
Hi-tea was then served, while
jewellery connoisseurs among the invitees were treated to the sight of models parading
on stage with the latest creations from Amee Philips Exclusive Jewellery in a
dazzling Fashion Show.
It was after the Fashion Show that the highlights of the
afternoon began: first, a charity auction of the Amee Philips Yin and Yang
Pearl Pendant Set, when guests had the opportunity to bid for the dazzling
pendant made of Black Tahitian and white cultured pearl framed by a sparkling
diamond eye add-on in 18k white gold, completed with Amee Philips’ patented
diamond studded V-clip and white gold chain, an elegant creation valued at
RM11,000.
This was followed by the Raffle Draw offering another stunning
creation, a Fancy Colour Sapphire & Diamonds set in 18k white gold ring,
valued at RM3,000.
This was followed by a photo
shoot of children from the home with Santa, presentation of gifts to the
children, and finally, presentation of a mock cheque representing the total amount
collected from the auction, raffle draw and photo shoot to be donated to the
foundation.
The afternoon concluded with
“Champagne With Santa”, as the joyous mood of the occasion continued with champagne
being served to guests.

exquisite creations in particular those created using coloured gemstones.

pieces of jewellery to create personalized designs and winner of the Malaysian
