The IWA Christmas Bazaar 2015 is
supported by Komtar JBCC and the funds raised would benefit the Puspanesam Home
for underprivileged children in Ulu Tiram, and Johor Area Rehabilitation
Organisation (JARO).
With their motto: Connecting, Caring
and Contributing, the IWA has a role in the community and continues to be
actively involved with helping the needy here.
“We are grateful for the partnership
of Komtar JBCC for sponsoring the use of the space in their mall,” said IWA
Social Coordinator, Anna Magyar, a Hungarian who has lived in JB for the past three
years.
She urged shoppers to come to the
bazaar with their Christmas shopping list because they have stalls that offer
unique gifts, handicrafts, imported European jewellery, handbags and other
knick-knacks and festive goodies that make ideal gifts this festive season.

In addition to the annual Christmas
Charity Bazaar, IWA added two more fund-raising events to their calendar this
year.
Last June, they held their inaugural
Summer Bazaar followed by a Pub Quiz with proceeds that went towards the Puspanesam
Home for underprivileged children.
The IWA is a non-profit charity
organization established in May 1999 to organise fund-raising social events to
contribute towards healthcare, education and other social needs in Johor Baru.
Since its inception, the IWA has
raised funds to support various causes including the children’s welfare home in
Saleng, the Rotary Dialysis Centre and several Tamil schools in Kulai.
Funds raised from recent Christmas
Bazaars have benefited the Palliative Care Association of Johor Baru, the
Berkat Children’s Home, the Breast Cancer Support Group Johor Baru and JARO.
