Cookies with a Cause: SANOVO and Reliance College Team Up for Community Impact

On 16th August 2024, SANOVO partnered with Reliance College to undertake a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project, blending team-building with a noble cause. The event, which took place at the state-of-the-art kitchen facility at Reliance College, saw SANOVO employees come together to bake 100 boxes of biscuits to be donated to an orphanage in Sentul.

Reliance College, known for its exceptional culinary programmes and top-notch facilities, provided the ideal setting for this charitable endeavour. The college's kitchen, equipped with the latest in baking technology, allowed SANOVO employees to experience a professional culinary environment. This collaboration not only highlighted Reliance College’s commitment to community engagement but also showcased its capacity to host large-scale events with ease and efficiency.

Guided by experienced chefs from Reliance College - Chef Muhammad Nur Hidayat Bin Mohd Salim, Chef Puon Swee Kent and Chef Nurainol Akma Binti Abdul Malik, SANOVO employees—many of whom were baking for the first time, embraced the challenge with enthusiasm. The day was filled with the aroma of freshly baked biscuits and the spirit of teamwork. The professional guidance provided by the chefs made the learning process enjoyable and effective, ensuring that each box of biscuits was a product of both skill and care.

This initiative was about more than just baking; it was an opportunity for SANOVO employees to bond outside of their usual work environment, working together towards a common goal. The kitchen became a space of collaboration and creativity, where colleagues united to achieve a shared objective. The experience not only strengthened team unity but also instilled a sense of pride in contributing to a cause larger than themselves.

After hours of mixing, baking, and packaging, the 100 boxes of biscuits—each filled with five different types of treats—were ready for delivery. These were then taken to the orphanage in Sentul, where they were met with smiles and gratitude from the children. The event was a resounding success, reinforcing SANOVO’s commitment to social responsibility while also showcasing Reliance College as a key partner in community-focused activities.

As the day came to a close, both SANOVO and Reliance College could reflect on the impact of their collaboration. The project not only brought joy to the children of the orphanage in Sentul, but also demonstrated the power of teamwork, compassion, and community service. Looking ahead, both organisations are eager to explore further collaborations that combine their strengths for the greater good.
