Nurturing Talent: SMK Adela awarded

USD5,000 Grant from Hard Rock Hotel

Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast has awarded a USD5,000 Hard Rock Heals Foundation grant to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Adela, strengthening its Integrated Special Education Program (PPKI) and reinforcing the hotel’s long-term ESG commitment to community education.

Presented by the hotel’s leadership team, the grant supports the expansion of SMK Adela’s Herb and Reflexology Garden, a hands-on vocational space where special education students develop practical life and entrepreneurship skills through herb cultivation and small-scale product creation.

The initiative empowers students to build confidence, independence and real-world capability, while recognising the dedication of teachers driving skill-based learning within the district.

Funded by the Hard Rock Heals Foundation, the contribution reflects the brand’s global commitment to children’s wellness, education support and grassroots community impact.
