9 Single Mothers felt appreciated and valued by Mary Kay's Volunteers

09 August 2017, Mary Kay "Pink Changing Lives" Single Mother Head-To-Toe Makeover

Stepping into the 8th year as a CSR Partner, this year, Mary Kay Malaysia decided to give a Head-To-Toe Makeover for 9 Single Mothers.

These Single Parent strive above difficulties and hardships to raise their children. Despite the limitations and challenges, they have never back down. So we decided to give a Day of Pampering and Relaxation to encourage these mothers. Ultimately, we want to make these mothers to feel being Loved, Appreciated and Valued.

Madam Christina, one of the mothers who was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year is undergoing Chemotherapy now. She was so happy for being invited to this makeover session. Due to the chemotherapy, she lost all her hair. "Thanks for making me feeling beautiful again!" said Christina with much gratitude.

To raise a family, as a Single parent, the burden is excruciatingly heavy. Often time, these mothers have to sacrifice their needs and wishes for their children. They worked so hard night and day, some of them even took up two jobs in a day.

Thanks to Mary Kay for your thoughtfulness in organizing this makeover session. Besides, Mary Kay Malaysia also pledge a donation of RM 30,000.00 to us through the Pink Changing Lives CSR Campaign, as to sustain the implementation of our community programs in three core areas - Health, Food and Education.

We have specially made a video to record the wonderful moments of the makeover session, nd you may check out the video on our YouTube Channel by clicking HERE.

Eventually there was an award given to the Most Creatively Decorated Christmas "Tree" =)

Besides, each team presented its team cheer too! It was always exciting to see the children and staff so out of themselves, seizing the moments and building friendships with one another.

Through all these activities, the children were so inspired and encouraged.

The party ended by the staff presenting gifts to the children. The fun part was the children were given the presents randomly, and the children needed to hand the presents to the right person by referring to the name labeled on each gift.

The girls got teddy bears while the boys had hot wheels toys.

To make this workshop a special one, Carey spontaneously choreographed and performed a dance in front of everyone. It was a dance based on the song "Proud" by Heather Small. Halfway through her dance, she invited the 38 teenage girls to be on stage with her, and the performance closed up by her giving crowning each and every teenage girl, giving them an affirmation, that they are a beauty of themselves, carrying their dreams and strength with them.

By the end of the workshop, the 38 teenage girls together with their "Big Sisters" wrote down the bad habits they would like to eliminate in their lives on the helium balloons, and they will have to release the balloons to the sky together. Some of them even written down their wishes and dreams. By releasing the balloons, it's a sign of promise to themselves, that they will make it happen in their lives. It was such a meaningful and touching moment!

Once again, we would like to thank Carey, for all your effort, and hardwork putting in to make this workshop happened for these 38 girls. They had indeed impacted by you and the rest of the "Big Sisters" alongside with the invited guest speakers.
