KUCHING: Some 86 children of Rumah Kanak-Kanak Toh Puan Hajah Norkiah Kuching attended the ‘Juh Sungkei di BCCK’ Ramadan Buffet yesterday held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK).

“We are honoured to be given this opportunity to share our blessings together with these children in the spirit of giving and receiving during this holy month,” she said.
Meanwhile, BCCK CEO Eric van Piggelen said BBCK never failed to organise this annual programme.
“BCCK has been privileged to be given this opportunity to have this yearly programme with various children’s homes since 2011,” he said.
