Media planner Lee Yan Joe, 27, was in a cheerful mood during her company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme at the Autism Café Project (ACP) at Da Men Mall in Subang Jaya recently.

She didn’t mind being tasked with kitchen duties, including cutting chicken, peeling kilogrammes of onions, and packing chilli sauce into small containers. The CSR activity involved helping ACP staff prepare 200 meals for the homeless, orphanages and B40 families in the Klang Valley.
