Eid al-Adha in 2025: Octa broker’s charity projects


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 July 2025 – Each year, Octa, a globally regulated and trusted broker since 2011, supports local communities in various regions through charity to foster social growth. In 2025, the broker carried out a series of charity activities in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Nigeria to celebrate a major Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha and help the underprivileged by providing targeted vital support.

The feast of sacrifice
For Muslims around the world, Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, is one of the most important holidays of the year. It coincides with the final rites of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca and commemorates the sacrifice of the prophet Ibrahim.

Highlighted in the Islamic calendar among the most prominent celebratory occasions, Eid al-Adha is traditionally marked with devout Muslims buying and slaughtering animals and sharing two-thirds of the meat with the poor.

This year, the festivities, including a special prayer followed by the sacrifice of an animal, took place between 5 and 9 June.

This year, Octa broker joined in the celebration of ‘The Feast of Sacrifice’ and helped underprivileged citizens of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Nigeria.

Malaysia
Octa traditionally teamed up with Azeehan, the broker’s long-time charity partner and the driving force behind many local initiatives, to distribute the Qurbani meat in Kelantan. Thanks to this humanitarian effort, several hundreds of underprivileged local citizens received the much-needed festive food. ‘Octa broker has been supporting local communities during the Eid al-Adha for three years in a row. This consistent participation and care have been very helpful in bringing people together and building up the festive spirit during the Feast of Sacrifice, a very special and joyous occasion for all Muslims’, said Azeehan.

Indonesia
Together with IDEP, Octa supported 37 single mothers across Bali as a part of the Family Bucket Project. Single mothers in Bali face significant economic and social challenges rooted in unstable incomes, inadequate labour protection, and vulnerable living conditions. They often struggle to meet even their basic needs and those of their children, while insufficient education and professional skills further hinder their access to employment in Bali’s tourism-dominated economy.

These challenges become even more pronounced during Eid al-Adha, when single mothers must work even harder to provide the best they can for their children. Octa and IDEP distributed targeted support packages to 37 single-mother households in Bali to help them enjoy the holiday.

Octa’s partner in this project, IDEP develops and delivers practical programs and public education activities to communities in need all over Indonesia.

Nigeria
Octa joined forces with a local charity, KIR (Keeping it real) foundation, to support two socially beneficial initiatives.

1. Training 15 young small business owners of the city of Port Harcourt in digital literacy skills. Local entrepreneurs lacked rudimentary information and communication technology skills, severely restricting their ability to scale up their businesses and affecting their financial outcomes. Octa and KIR foundation organised this charity training to empower business owners and propel them towards success in the modern, technology-driven world.

2. Training 15 young women in vocational skills. To provide local young women with easy-to-pick-up and in-demand career opportunities, Octa and KIR foundation organised free week-long workshops in basic makeup artistry and headgear craft. These skills will allow them to earn a living and strengthen their social status.

Keeping true to its mission of benefiting local communities in various regions, Octa consistently engages in various charitable activities. For example, during the New Year holidays, the broker sponsored an emergency support program in Malaysia to help victims of a severe flood.

– Forward-Looking Curriculum Ignites Children’s Curiosity, Seamlessly Connecting to Creative Primary School and Creative Secondary School for Smooth Academic Progression


Creative Primary School’s Kindergarten (CPSKG) – Nurturing Future Minds Since 1985

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 July 2025 – Located at 2A Oxford Road, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong, China. Creative Primary School’s Kindergarten (CPSKG) was established in 1985 and proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2025. The school deeply understands the needs of parents and children, offering a forward-thinking thematic curriculum that employs experiential and inquiry-based learning to spark children’s enthusiasm for knowledge.

Creative Primary School's Kindergarten Celebrates 40th Anniversary Milestone

With a trilingual (Cantonese, Putonghua, and English) teaching team conducting daily immersive language sessions, CPSKG provides a systematic bilingual (Chinese-English) and Putonghua programme. As part of the Creative Schools continuum—including Creative Primary School (CPS) and Creative Secondary School (CSS)—CPSKG students enjoy priority admission to CPS, while CSS has produced top scorers in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, ensuring a seamless, high-quality education pathway.

  • Exclusive Educational Pathway: The only kindergarten in Hong Kong with a direct affiliation to CPS and CSS in Hong Kong
  • CSS has a track record of producing IB perfect scorers, reflecting its high academic standards.
  • Priority admission to Creative Primary School
  • Awarded “Outstanding Happy Campus Award” by UHKA & Chief Happiness Officer Association
  • Trilingual (Cantonese/English/Putonghua) immersion with structured small-group instruction
  • Strong and Diverse primary school placement advantages

Child-Centered Education for Future Leaders
CPSKG adheres to a student-focused philosophy, continuously innovating its curriculum to nurture globally minded future leaders (“Future Minds”). Recognizing parents’ concerns about school readiness and holistic development, the school employs engaging, research-backed methods like experiential learning and cross-disciplinary projects to foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.

The curriculum integrates real-world applications, blending art, social exploration, and interdisciplinary themes to deepen understanding while strengthening communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. It also emphasizes foundational competencies and positive attitudes to prepare children for lifelong success.

Trilingual Excellence & Global Perspectives
CPSKG prioritizes early literacy and communication skills, with native-speaking Putonghua and English teachers delivering structured daily language sessions. Principal Ms. Ng Hing-Lin explains: “Children are at the heart of our work. Our trilingual team designs immersive programmes rooted in children’s literature to inspire a love for languages—key to earning parents’ trust over 40 years.”

25+ students won awards at the 2025 Hong Kong Youth Painting Competition (8 Gold, 11 Silver, 5 Bronze, and 3 Champion/Podium titles). Recognized with the “Excellence in Arts Education Award” by the Hong Kong Children’s Cultural & Arts Association.

Early Childhood Literature & Innovative Learning
Early Childhood Literature” is a unique learning feature of CPSKG, aimed primarily at cultivating children’s interest in words and reading, as well as enriching their language skills. Through two major language learning programmes at the school—Putonghua’s “Children’s Poetry and Painting” and the English “Early Literacy Programme”—children engage in enjoyable language learning experiences, feeling the rhythm and rhyme of children’s poetry and understanding the meanings expressed in words. This enriches their imagination and broadens their thinking.

Effectively Using Mind Maps to Cultivate Independent Learning Abilities
Establishing a good learning attitude and skills from a young age is crucial for future learning. To foster children’s ability and habit of independent learning, CPSKG teaches children to use mind maps for learning and summarizing information. This learning method allows children to use illustrations and words to organize their thoughts and express what they have learned. It not only boosts their confidence in exploring new knowledge but also helps teachers understand their learning progress.

Seamless K-12 Continuum
CPSKG’s curriculum aligns with CPS and CSS under the “Three Schools * One Philosophy * One Continuum” ethos, ensuring a smooth transition through primary, secondary, and beyond. CSS’s IB programme and university pathways further solidify this future-ready education.

Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence

AweMed Series Sponsors Eczema Family Day 2025 to Support Singapore’s Sensitive Skin Community

Deepening Community Engagement Through Sponsorship
The brand’s decision to sponsor the Eczema Family Day stems from its ongoing commitment to supporting individuals and engaging local communities with sensitive and eczema-prone skin. While
the brand has been providing gentle, eczema-friendly skincare solutions for several years, this marks a new chapter in its efforts to connect directly with the eczema community.

“We’ve always provided support for eczema patients through our products, but we recognised the need to do more,” said a spokesperson for AweMed®. “Increasing our visibility within the eczema community has been a long-standing goal. So, when we were approached by the main event organiser about sponsoring or participating in the annual Eczema Family Day, we were eager to get involved.”

Awareness and Education on Daily Eczema Management
AweMed® also invited Dr. Ellie Choi, a board-certified dermatologist at the National University Hospital, to speak at the event. Her talk, titled “Eczema Care for All Ages: Managing It in Adults and Kids,” highlighted the chronic nature of eczema and emphasised the importance of consistent, day-to-day management. Dr. Choi also underscored the vital role that eczema support networks play in helping individuals navigate their journey.

The brand’s involvement also went beyond sponsorship. Team members were present to connect with attendees, offer product samples, and share practical tips on caring for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. A selected number of visitors were offered a free moisturiser for itchy skin, and all ESGS members received a 10% promotional code.

Overall, the event provided a meaningful platform for AweMed® to engage directly with the community about their individual skincare concerns.

Launch of a New Free Sample Initiative
For those who were not present at Eczema Family Day or are not part of the ESGS, AweMed is continuing to offer free samples as part of a three-month initiative.

This move is in response to a common concern expressed by many Family Day attendees—hesitation in trying new skincare due to the reactivity of their skin. As such, this initiative is designed to offer a safe, no-obligation way for users to experience the company’s formulations firsthand, making its products more accessible to those newly discovering the AweMed® skincare line.

This free samples programme is open to all, with no specific eligibility requirements. Samples will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last. Readers can also visit the brand’s Instagram page for updates about an ongoing promotion.
