News from Kiwanis Klang

Description

The warm spirit of the holiday season once again brought us to our annual Christmas visit to the Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah in Klang. This tradition has become an essential part of our holiday celebrations, where we aim to spread joy and hope to the pediatric patients and staff during this festive time.
This year will be a special year as we have 11 Taiwan district Kiwanians joining us the visit. It is an honour to have the Governor of Taiwan district and our Governor of Malaysia district to assist us in this event.
As we entered the hospital, we were greeted by the Head Nurse Sister Matron Anne, she has done a fantastic arrangement by getting the hospital security to usher the bus of our Taiwan delegates into the hospital and getting her nurses to arrange and allocate the presents to the wards. While we were entering the ward, there stands a beautiful Christmas tree filled with beautiful twinkling lights and festive decorations that adorned the hallways. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement. As we walk in to the pediatric wards, we see children faces lit up with smiles as we handed out the gifts. The joy and laughter that filled the room were truly heart-warming.
Some of us had a casual chat with the parents who were spending the holidays in the hospital taking care of the child. We shared stories and offered words of encouragement. It was touching to see how our presence brought a sense of comfort and companionship to those who needed it the most.
The staff members, who work tirelessly to provide care and support, were also not forgotten. We made sure to express our gratitude for their dedication and hard work throughout the year by giving them some nice chocolates.
As we concluded our visit, we couldn't help but reflect on the importance of giving back to the community. This annual tradition reminds us of the power of compassion and the difference we can make in the lives of others. It's not just about the gifts or the festivities, but about the connections we forge and the hope we bring.
We look forward to continuing this cherished tradition in the years to come, knowing that our small acts of kindness can create lasting impacts. Merry Christmas to all, and may the spirit of the season continue to inspire us to spread love and joy wherever we go.

Governor of Kiwanis Malaysia, Olivia Chin was delighted to welcome all participants ranging from 8 to 17 years of age, “The Kiwanis Service Leadership Program (SLP) is a global initiative aimed at empowering youth by fostering leadership, character development, and a strong commitment to community service. This is another way we serve the children of the world, by equipping them with the leadership skills to carry out community service in their schools and communities.” Internationally, Kiwanis has several types of clubs specifically for children, young adults and neurodivergent adults to do community service guided by Kiwanis clubs that sponsor them. In Malaysia, there are a total of 27 SLP clubs. This convention brought together participants from K Kids (ages 8 to 12 years) and Key Clubs (15 to 17 years) with the intention of fostering networking between the different clubs around the country whilst honing new skills to equip them as they carry out their community service projects. The first half of the convention was conducted for all participants and their accompanying teachers and advisors. A keynote address was delivered by Olive Yong, Founder of Bichi Mao, who spoke on How Social Media Content Builds Community. She was joined by Yap Wee Lim, CEO of Niki Studios. Both shared an entertaining keynote address on how Olive Yong turned her passion into a successful business and the strategies behind it. Next, the Governor for Key Club in the Philippines, dialed in via Zoom to address the participants and share on the benefits of the global connections of being part of Kiwanis’ SLP clubs. Each club that attended was also given the opportunity to present to all the participants about the community service work they were doing in their clubs and their future plans. This was especially beneficial for them to learn from each other. After the lunch break, the participants were broken into groups according to their age groups for more specific sessions. The K Kids were treated to an Hour of Coding led by Daphne Choong, Senior Partner Solution Architect at Microsoft alongside volunteers from Microsoft and PyLadies (website), an international mentorship group with a focus on helping more women become active participants and leaders in the Python open-source community.

Following the breakout session, Liyana Taff, CEO of Makchic (website) conducted a 40 minute session on “Safe Touch” - An introduction to consent, personal safety and body boundaries. She led the topic confidently, getting good responses and engagement from all the participants.
