Businesswoman Audrey Ong was roped into volunteer work some 25 years ago and she has not looked back since.

Ong’s father-in-law, Ong Seng Wah, was the founder of Hwa Thong Bags Industries Sdn Bhd, a leading manufacturer of school bags in the country. Ong was enlisted to help out in the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes.
