As people everywhere get ready for the holidays, some businesses are working hard to bring festive pleasure to the less fortunate.
In this week's "In Good Company," we highlight four neighbourhood organisations whose kindness has warmed our hearts.
1. HP arranges for pupils from low-income families to receive a paper-based coding education.
HP Indonesia worked along with Prestasi Junior Indonesia, Kumala Foundation, and the graffiti artist Darbotz to create a unique paper-based coding curriculum over the course of four weeks.
To show underprivileged pupils that they can also learn to code is the goal.
Twenty kids dutifully learned paper-based coding for four weeks as part of an outreach initiative called HP Street Code in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, which is located next to a toll bridge.
The project culminated with a unique code-based Darbotz and HP artwork that was projected for the general public in South Jakarta as an augmented reality experience.
2. Make A Wish raises funds to support kids with life-threatening illnesses.

After a three-year hiatus, Make-A-Wish Malaysia staged their annual WishBall, raising money for the sick children of the country by selling eight products.
Among the items up for sale are paintings, a limited-edition Thermomix, a handcrafted baju kebaya by Bill Keith, a pair of Amee Philips earrings, and pieces by Stephen Menon and Nazneen Zofia, a sufferer of brittle bone disease.
Total donations of RM114,000 (US$25,760) were made to the organisation.
3. 400 students receive degrees from the Indonesian Apple Developer Academy.

The Apple Developer Academy, which has campuses in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Batam, has been operating in Indonesia for five years and recently celebrated the graduation of 400 students.
The academy equips prospective entrepreneurs, developers, and designers with the leadership and technical skills they need to succeed in Indonesia's rapidly expanding iOS app market.
The 2022 cohort consists of students from various socioeconomic backgrounds that range in age from 18 to 39. They hail from each of Indonesia's five main islands. Since the program's beginning, this cohort has the highest proportion of female enrollees.
Some of the helpful apps that have been created include Hexcape, which uses augmented reality and other technologies to bring escape room-style puzzles to life through both online and offline play, Comute, which makes it simple for the deaf to commute on the Jakarta commuter rail, WonderJack, which offers dyslexic children a safe environment to learn through an interactive and educational game, and others.
4. Amazon provides S$100,000 (US$73,840) to help 31,000 underprivileged children.

A total of S$100,000 (US$73,840) was given by Amazon to four NGOs in Singapore that help underprivileged children.
Through funding given to the Arc Children's Centre, Beyond Social Services, SHINE Children and Youth Services, and Singapore Children's Society, more than 31,000 Singaporean children between the ages of three and 21 would profit from the donation.
Thanks to the funding, they will have access to better and more educational activities, food, and medical care, among other things.
