For The Children

VOC aims to advocate for and promote reforms in law and policy. They are pushing for new ways to work with the government and wider community to tackle the issue. Through their books, like “Cats in the Rubbish”, they help to create awareness in a society of the issues facing children, which in turn help VOC work better.
For a limited time, VOC is working with XTRA to sell their book “Cats In The Rubbish” at RM35 each, in their showroom at Gardens Mall, second floor, tel: 22829088. For more information, please refer to www.xtrafurniture.com. The entire proceeds collected will go to VOC for their work.
