KOTA KINABALU: A total of 340 students from the B40 group at Stella Maris Tanjung Aru received school supplies on Thursday through a CSR initiative by Yayasan Kosma and Persatuan Keusahawanan Cekap Sabah (PKCS).
The aid included bags, books, stationery and lunch boxes to support low-income families and encourage educational development.
Yayasan Kosma Chairman Datuk Zamri Mohamed praised the unity shown at the event held on church grounds, emphasising the importance of inclusivity beyond race or religion.
