Sunday 9^th April 2012

Each year, Kiwanis clubs around the world join in a day of service. In 2012, Kiwanis One Day is April 21. However the Kiwanis Club of Klang decided to celebrate it early this year.

Kiwanis One Day is a global effort, but it’s made of personal commitments.

After all, Kiwanis One Day consists of the involvement of Kiwanis club members around the world. It begins with a club’s participation. It extends to the impact clubs have on their communities. And it results in an international spirit of service that inspires people worldwide.

At 7.30 a.m. the Key Clubbers and Kiwanians from the Kiwanis Club of Klang led by President Yonne Ong descended on the park with garbage bags and gloves and scoured the park for rubbish. They all came back with bags full of plastic bottles and food wrappers.

The club provided breakfast for all the participants at the end of the project and it gave us all an opportunity to discuss future projects amongst us.

Kiwanis Malaysia would be providing corporate grants to eligible Kiwanis Centres or Club with permanent project. Notice has been sent to all LGs, Club Presidents & Secretaries to provide further information and to register its interest latest by 7th March 2012. Kindly share this info with another Kiwanian who may not be aware of the Notification issued to all Clubs

KIWANIS Malaysia aims to raise RM1mil to enable 50,000 underprivileged students to own a dictionary each.

Governor Ng Bee Keong said the dictionaries would be distributed to the children by its clubs nationwide under its “Going to School with Kiwanis Dictionary” project.

Ng, who was in Ipoh for the formation of the Kiwanis Club of Bercham and the election of its office bearers last week, also told reporters that Kiwanis Malaysia would be supporting the Kiwanis International-UNICEF project to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus by raising US$100,000 (about RM315,000).

The disease, he said, killed about 60,000 babies and a significant number of women each year.

“The disease causes newborn babies to suffer repeated painful convulsions and to be extremely sensitive to light and touch,” he said.

The election of office bearers saw businessman Raymond Choo being elected president, Choong Sun Onn as vice-president, Lim Keng Kiat as secretary and Lee Kok Onn as treasurer.
