NEW READING SPACE ALERT! | KCV x BFBW x MENARA ALFA 🚀
Yesterday, we quietly opened our 4th collaboration between
Kiwanis Club of Visionaries (KCV) and Books For A Better World Sdn Bhd For A Better World (BFBW)…
this time at Menara Alfa, Bangsar.

Another cosy corner for the community to discover books, relax, and just breathe a little — all powered by the simple belief that every book deserves a second life, and every person deserves access to stories.

Huge thank you to Menara Alfa for partnering with us to make this beautiful reading space a reality.

This space is fully self-service, trust-based, and supports BFBW’s literacy mission, where every book purchased helps fund programmes for children and underserved communities.

To my amazing KCV team: once again, we did it. One space at a time, we are building a more literate, connected and compassionate Malaysia.

If you’re around Bangsar, come visit. Sit, read, recharge.
And if you spot me there… I’m probably rearranging books again. 😅

Service is strongest when partnerships come together. The Kiwanis Club of Visionaries is honoured to collaborate with Books For A Better World (BFBW) and Gains Global (Bauli Malaysia) to turn excess food stock into meaningful community impact.

Together, we distributed the donated goodies to: 🏫 Raphael Academy – bringing smiles and excitement to the children 🏡 En Yuan Old Folks Home – sharing warmth and cheer with our senior citizens This collaboration reflects what Kiwanis is all about — serving the community, reducing wastage, and creating positive change through teamwork.

PONGGAL 202617 Jan 266Klang

PONGGAL 2026

🌾 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
