News from Kiwanis Klang

Description

This year, our annual Christmas party with the orphanage will be the most memorable. The home has changed its name from ‘Pertubuhan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Selangor’ to ‘The Little Yellow Stars’ in conjunction with this also the official launching of the new extension bedrooms, new bathrooms and food storage area. Taking this opportunity during this festive season we had put up a heart-warming and joyous party at the home. The festive spirit was in the air as we gathered to celebrate the season of giving and togetherness with the children and caretaker of the orphanage.
The organising team headed to the home earlier to setup the decorations, setting up food and gifts tables. Volunteers and children alike adorned the space with twinkling lights, colourful ornaments, and 2 magnificent Christmas trees that stood as the entrance of their home. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, holiday music, and the excited chatter of the children.
The event was special that we have the Taiwan District Kiwanians visiting as well. As all arrived, we kicked off with our Santa riding down the road with his huge beautiful motorbike coming in greeting the children. While Santa is busy chatting with everyone, we have the meals given out to the children. By request they had McDonald’s value meal sets for their lunch and as for desserts we have some ice cream sticks, apple strudel and also some chocolates. The children enjoyed the meal with glee, their faces lighting up with every bite.
After the meal, the children queued in line to collect their presents, then entertainment began.  They gathered round to play games and more gifts were given. There were performances by the children, who sang Christmas carols that brought smiles to everyone's faces.
We also took some time taking a tour of the home with our Taiwan delegates, showing them the new bedrooms and bathrooms that we have built for the children. We also look at the new food storage area where the racking is sponsored by Hyperack, appreciate their contribution.
As the event came to a close, it was evident that the day had been a resounding success. The children were beaming with happiness, and the volunteers were filled with a sense of fulfilment and gratitude for the opportunity to bring joy to these young lives.
Our annual Christmas party with the orphanage is more than just a celebration; it is a reminder of the importance of community, kindness, and the spirit of giving. We look forward to continuing this cherished tradition for many years to come, creating lasting memories and spreading love during the festive season.

Talking SENse: Understanding Behaviour Through a New Lens

On 24 April 2026, members and guests gathered for Talking SENse, an initiative by the Kiwanis Club of Taman Tun Dr Ismail (KCTTDI) aimed at fostering deeper conversations around special educational needs. The session featured neuropsychologist Dr Nancy Menon, who shared both her professional expertise and personal experiences in supporting neurodivergent children with behavioural challenges. Her insights offered a powerful reminder that behaviour is often a form of communication—one that requires understanding, patience, and the right support systems. Through real-life examples and practical perspectives, attendees gained a clearer understanding of how to approach behaviour with empathy, moving beyond labels to better support children in their environments at home, school, and in the community. Talking SENse continues to be a meaningful platform for raising awareness, reducing stigma, and equipping families, educators, and the wider community with knowledge that makes a difference.

On 19 April 2026, the Kiwanis Club of Taman Tun Dr Ismail (KCTTDI) hosted a warm and meaningful Hari Raya Fellowship at Turkish Istanbul Café, bringing together both members and non-members for an afternoon of connection, reflection, and shared purpose. We were honoured by the presence of Puan Sri Datuk Hjh Khir Johari, whose attendance added to the significance of the gathering. The session provided an opportunity to update attendees on several key initiatives that continue to shape the club’s impact. Among them was the Kiwanis Child Development Centre (KCDC)—an important initiative focused on providing accessible early intervention and therapy services to children from underserved communities. Guests were also introduced to the Service Leadership Programme (SLP), Kiwanis’ youth development platform that empowers young people through leadership, service, and community engagement. In addition, updates were shared on the upcoming SEN Summit 2026, as well as Talking SENse, a platform aimed at fostering greater awareness, understanding, and conversations around special educational needs. Beyond the updates, the fellowship was a celebration of community—marked by good food, meaningful conversations, and the joyful celebration of April-born members. Events like these reflect the heart of Kiwanis: building connections, raising awareness, and inviting more people to be part of a shared mission to serve the children of the world.
