charity at “home” with its inaugural Caring
for Our Kids programme, where about 120 of its
employees’ children were presented with new school
uniforms and back-to-school gifts in preparation of
the 2005 school session. The guest-of-honour for the
ceremony was, YABhg Dato’ Sri Rosmah Mansor, wife

A joint initiative of Tradewinds Corporation, its Sports

“We at Tradewinds Corporation believe that charity
should begin at home, and we take pride in caring for
our employees as they are part of the Tradewinds family
,” stated En Mohd Redza Shah Bin Abdul Wahid,
Group Chief Executive Officer of Tradewinds Corporation
Berhad.
Commenting on the form of assistance lent, En Redza
said, ”We believe that education is the foundation
for a brighter future, and our children need to be equipped
with the basic essentials for school. How else will
they be able to focus wholeheartedly on excelling in
their studies, extra-curricular activities, and also
in developing their character?”
Tradewinds Corporation’s Caring for Our Kids
programme offered assistance worth RM500 per child for
employees from the lower income bracket, and who have
