"Our aim this year is to distribute 3,000 school bags to students from B40 communities across various districts in Sabah," said Josephine Hadikusumo, the president of the organisation.

"We are also awarding 40 scholarships to consistently high-performing students from hardcore poor communities to encourage them to continue their education and excel academically."
