Meanwhile, a total of 25 recipients aged 2 to 18 years have received RM 110,800 worth of artificial limbs via Embrace, Gift of Limb project by Golden Sands Resort, Penang.

Other CSR projects by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts included adopting Penang Shan's Children Home and Crystal Family Home. The resorts' goals for the home's children are simply to empower them so they can integrate into society when they leave the home by giving them basic survival skills and providing internship priorities at the resorts for the home's children upon graduating from schools to help them break out from the cycle of poverty.

Besides, Shangri-La Hotel and Resorts, Penang also worked with hotel associations to provide linens to those families affected by flood in Penang recently. 

Shangri-La remains committed to operating in an economically, socially and environmentally responsible manner whilst balancing the interest of diverse stakeholders.
