🌾 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.

2026 Dinner Meeting: 20nd August

The Kiwanis Club of Klang hosted its August dinner meeting on 20 August 2026, welcoming members, guests, and friends for an evening of fellowship and inspiration. The highlight of the night was the presence of Mo Zidan, an international keynote speaker, professor, and corporate communication strategist with over two decades of global experience. Mo delivered a captivating keynote on “Communication in the Modern World”. Drawing from his extensive work across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, he emphasized the irreplaceable role of human empathy, respect, and connection in communication. While artificial intelligence can process information and simulate dialogue, Mo reminded us that true communication requires emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and genuine human presence. The evening concluded with warm appreciation for Mo Zidan’s contribution. May we all be inspired to carry forward the principles of humane communication in our daily interactions, reinforcing the values of respect, clarity, and compassion that lie at the heart of Kiwanis service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPuqmhMcCq0
