Transforming the Lives of Children Help put computers in the hands of our most disadvantaged children to support their online learning classes. With schoolchildren kept away from schools once again under MCO 3.0, children from low-income families are struggling to keep up with online lessons due to the lack of devices and internet connections. Education is a fundamental right, and no child should be left behind simply because they lack the necessary tools. Our Mission "Kids Need Computers" aims to change this reality by setting an ambitious target of supplying 1,000 tablets to families in need. These tablets will be a beacon of hope, enabling children to participate in online classes and continue their education uninterrupted. A single tablet can benefit multiple children within a family, making each donation have a profound and lasting impact. How You Can Help We ask the public to donate generously to this cause. A donation of RM 850 will purchase a tablet equipped with a prepaid chip for three months of usage. By donating one unit, you are not just giving a device; you are providing a gateway to knowledge, opportunities, and a brighter future for these children. Why It Matters The ongoing pandemic has highlighted the digital divide, with children from low-income families being the hardest hit. Without access to computers or the internet, these children risk falling behind their peers, widening the educational gap. By providing tablets, we are giving them the tools they need to succeed in their studies and beyond. The Multiplier Effect Each tablet donated has the potential to serve multiple children in a household, amplifying the positive impact of your contribution. This means your generosity will not just change one life but can touch the lives of several children, fostering an environment where learning and growth are possible. Join Us We are calling on the Malaysian public to open their hearts and contribute to this noble cause. Your donation can make a significant difference in the lives of children who need it the most. Together, we can ensure that no child is left behind in their educational journey. Help us reach our goal of 1,000 tablets. Donate now and be a part of this transformative initiative. Your kindness can light up the path to a better future for our children. Every contribution counts. Together, we can make a difference.

🌾 Celebrating Ponggal with Heart and Heritage 🌾 This year, we were honored to join the Apex Club of Klang and MYKITA in celebrating the vibrant Pongal festival at MYKITA Hostel, Kerling. PonGgal, the cherished Tamil harvest festival, is a time of gratitude, tradition, and togetherness. It was especially meaningful to reconnect with the boys we met during last year’s GGAC 2025 Youth Camp in Mantin, young hearts who remembered us fondly and welcomed us with joy. Many of these children are orphans, growing up without parental care, yet deeply loved by those who nurture them. Their resilience shines through as they are top scholars, talented athletes, and some even represent their state in sports. We began the day with a heartfelt prayer for health and prosperity, followed by the creation of beautiful rice based kolam artwork. The ceremonial cooking of Ponggal, a dish symbolizing abundance, made by boiling rice with milk and jaggery reminded us of the festival’s essence “boiling over” with blessings. The celebration came alive with spirited performances of Kalaripayat and Silambam, showcasing the children’s discipline, pride, and cultural heritage. In line with the Kiwanis motto "Serving the children of the world", we donated three laptops, hoping they will empower these bright young minds on their journey toward excellence. Grateful for the opportunity to share this day of joy, tradition, and connection. Nandri Vanakkam
