myELEPHANT™ Thai Restaurant, the popular neighbourhood eatery for awesome Thai food, recently launched its fifth branch at Ampang. In conjunction with the celebration of another milestone achieved this year, myELEPHANT™ Thai Restaurant kick-started myELE Gives Back by lending a hand in greening and beautifying a community centre located in Ampang.
The Co-founder and Managing Director of myELEPHANT™, Mr. Patrick Cheng said, “Since the beginning of our business in 2007, we have been trying our best in initiating efforts within our capacity to spark interest in planting trees and vegetables by providing free plants to our customers. With the launch of our fifth branch at Ampang, we would like to officially mark this as our responsibility in humbly taking the lead in greening and beautifying the neighbourhoods. Teamwork plays a big part in our expansion. However, we will not have today’s achievement without the support from the communities.”
“Now, we are bringing this team spirit out to the communities to do what we believe we do best, bringing happiness to the communities. We also hope that such initiative will help promote community effort in caring for the well being of our neighbourhoods. The first beneficiary of myELE Gives Back is Hilla Community Centre located in Ampang, a learning centre that provides basic education and skills to underserved children.”
The first myELE Gives Back initiative includes cleaning up and beautifying Hilla Community Centre with a one-day gotong-royong. Fruit trees were also planted in the compound of the centre.
“Contribution to our neighbourhoods should not be a once-off project but a sustainable one. Our long-term commitment has two folds, first is to play up our role in greening the neighbourhoods around our restaurants, second is to humbly set an example for the community, and hopefully for other business owners around the neighbourhoods, that we all have to take part in caring for the society around us. It may be a small step, but when the entire community gets involved, the positive impact is imminent,” Cheng added.
August 2014 also marks the 7th year anniversary for the restaurant. “In lieu of a grand celebration, we believe that it is far more meaningful to benefit others in need. Therefore, we have also decided to help out with Hilla Community Centre by purchasing supplies. It is with great privilege that we are able to put a smile on each child’s face at the centre,” said Cheng.
With Raya celebrations and Merdeka in August, myELEPHANT™ Thai Restaurant welcomes customers to dine in any of their restaurants. For every purchase within this month in any of the five branches, myELEPHANT™ Thai Restaurant will donate RM1.00 into their myELE Gives Back fund. All the funds collected would be donated to the Hilla Community Centre and other underserved homes in their neighbourhoods.
