JOHOR BARU: The Care Haven home for orphans and underprivileged children here is one step closer to reaching its goal of building a nature farm. The home’s founder, Rev James Thhm, said the RM20,000 funding from the Star Foundation was timely as public donations had slowed down greatly since the movement control order (MCO) was imposed early this year. Thhm said the home initially aimed to raise RM1.8mil to build its Green Smile Nature Farm in Kota Tinggi, which can provide shelter to about 80 underprivileged children. “The construction of the 0.89ha nature farm has reached about 50% progress and is due to be completed by early next year, ” he said. Star Foundation is the charitable arm of Star Media Group that aims to support impactful initiatives to help a diverse group of beneficiaries.
