Starbucks Milestone with Kg Lubok Jaya's Community Development Project

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.
