31 October 2015, Starbucks Kg Lubok Jaya Computer Centre Graduation Ceremony 2014 to 2015

Thanks to Starbucks' CSR initiative that made a difference in the communities' lives of Kg. Lubok Jaya. We began with empowering the kids with basic computer knowledge and Microsoft skills, and right now, we had also empowered another 20 adults learner!

Kudos to all fellow volunteers and also the committed facilitators, one of them is the local trainer, Darwish, 19, who is also the village head's son, he realizes the objective of the program: Train the Trainer, for sustainability.

Right now, in total, we had 40 children and 20 adults graduated from the program.

During the graduation day, we had the adults to browse through Cooking Lessons through YouTube Channels, and as well, they too can create their own recipes of their delicacies.

The CSR Initiatives started by Starbucks buying the harvest of the banana plantation, and generated F&B products for sales. Part of the proceeds were raised for building a community computer centre in Kg. Lubok Jaya. The social impact started to grow since then, and we believe will continue to grow.

Starbucks Connecting Communities in Malaysia - Kg Lubok Jaya Community Computer Centre 1st Anniversary

18 April 2015, Starbucks Malaysia Kg. Lubok Jaya Community Computer Centre 1st Anniversary 

From a Banana Plantation, Starbucks created a Community Project by bringing IT Facilities and Knowledge to the community in Kg. Lubok Jaya. And right now, we harvest not only the crop from the banana plantation, but the social impact, the inspiration, and also a group of students who have potential to become authors in the future.

In conjunction with one year anniversary of  Starbucks Kg. Lubok Jaya Community Computer Centre, as a working partner for this project, HOPE worldwide Malaysia is very honored to be invited to be a part of this event!

One of the main objectives for this community project, Starbucks wishes to bring the best of the students, as to raise them to become future authors. Hence part of the syllabus of the computer training that facilitated by HOPE worldwide Malaysia is to train the students in their typing skills. Through typing, the students get to type their imagination and their stories. During the event, one of the students read out her story to everybody, on how she feels after being trained in the computer centre, and the heartfelt sharing indeed moved many of the audiences in tears.

After one year, indeed we look forward to provide our support to make this community project a sustainable one for the community and the next generations, to bridge them to a brighter future.

Thanks to each and everyone of you who used to purchase Banana Frappucinos and products at Starbucks outlet, eventually the funds we collected, we built a community computer centre that benefited the community in Kg. Lubok Jaya.
