JA – Show your Gratitude Competition

2020 dawned bright and full of promise for all, and then hurtled us into an abyss of uncertainty, with children and parents trying to stay safe indoors, while a host of frontliners and essential services personnel battled on to flatten the curve, and to save and sustain lives. Staying at home, without a definitive end date in sight, brings about its own challenges to children, and a kind of stress to the parents in trying to engage and entertain their children.

JA Malaysia would like to reach out to the children, through their parents, to engage them in a simple learning exercise of appreciating the world of work and occupations,  with an experiential fun competition, to shift their focus to a feeling of gratitude. With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives, helping them feel more positive, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity and build strong relationships.

JA Malaysia is seeking for corporates to partner/sponsor this effort to reach out to as many children as possible to engage in a great wave of gratitude.

Attached is a proposal on JA-Show Your Gratitude Competition:
