More than 100 beneficiaries of The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund got to watch the movie Goosebumps yesterday at Golden Village Bishan.
The children, aged seven to 14, received free colouring books, umbrellas and a goody bag during the event. They were from family service centres including Ang Mo Kio and Fei Yue.
The event was part of cinema chain Golden Village's efforts to spread festive cheer to needy students. "Many of our children from low-income families have to worry about their daily needs. We are grateful... the less fortunate are not forgotten," said Ms Tan Bee Heong, general manager of the fund.
