WHILE the rest of us are thinking of going home for the holidays, there are, in reality, millions of people who do not even have any place to call home – like families in Nepal, Pakistan, Cambodia, Indonesia and China.

And that’s why Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit organisation which has built more than 100,000 homes worldwide, hopes to build an additional 100 houses in these countries next year.

To raise funds for this project, Habitat for Humanity has seeked the help of IMM ― whose Christmas campaign is entitled “I’MM Home this X’mas” ― in a series of innovative fun-filled charitable initiatives.

One of these is the IMM Doll House Mini Winter Wonderland at the mall’s atrium area, where four Victorial doll houses imported from the US and dolled up by local celebrities and volunteers are on display.

The doll houses attempt to portray heartwarming Christmas vignettes, like Santa with his
sled full of gifts, a moving electric train amidst snowcapped Christmas trees and landscape, colourful fairy lights and Christmas decorations.

For a small fee, mallers can get their photos professionally taken (with the doll houses as background) and get their copy immediately. Proceeds from this project go completely to Habitat for Humanity.

“We are delighted to support Habitat for Humanity through its fund-raising activities during the showcase of IMM Doll House Mini Winter Wonderland which aims to celebrate homebuilding, design, interior decor and architecture. Christmas is a season for thanksgiving and reunions with loved ones and family, and we hope the doll houses will enable shoppers to draw inspirations upon when decorating their homes to welcome the festive season, as well as spreading festive cheer to the underprivileged,” says an IMM spokesperson.
