KCTTDI Hari Raya Fellowship: Connecting, Sharing & Moving Forward Together

Our Back to Nature with Youth activity, organised in collaboration with The Blue Ribbon (TBR), was successfully held at Garden Spring, Cheras. The programme brought together Key Club members from Tree Top International School and Aspiration International Secondary School, accompanied by their teachers. We were also pleased to welcome several non-Key Club participants, including friends and family members of our members. In total, the activity was attended by 14 youths, 4 adults, and 3 representatives from TBR. Participants were guided through five hands-on activity stations: Harvesting Blue Pea FlowersMaking Blue Valley Drinks using edible items from the gardenSoil PaintingSelecting and Mixing SoilPlanting Forest Seeds and Saplings The facilitators from TBR were knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing their expertise. They made each station interactive, enjoyable, and meaningful for the participants. The event received positive feedback and was a wonderful opportunity for youths to learn about nature, sustainability, and the importance of caring for the environment. As we continue to live in an increasingly digital world, opportunities for young people to connect with nature are becoming more important. We hope to organise more activities like this in the future, not only for our youths but also for ourselves as we continue to learn, serve, and grow together.

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.

The Kiwanis Club of Taman Tun Dr Ismail (KCTTDI) proudly marked a significant milestone—its 30th Anniversary and Installation Ceremony, celebrating three decades of service to children and communities. The evening was made even more meaningful with the presence of our esteemed Guests of Honour, the Ambassador of Romania to Malaysia and her husband, alongside Puan Sri Datuk Hjh Khir Johari. Their presence added distinction to a night dedicated to service, legacy, and community impact. A heartfelt congratulations to Dato’ Fatimah Saad on her installation as President. In a truly special and symbolic moment, our club has come full circle, as our Charter President returns to lead KCTTDI once again after three decades. Her leadership is a powerful reminder of the enduring spirit and commitment that has shaped the club since its founding. As we reflect on 30 years of meaningful service, we also look ahead with renewed purpose and dedication. Here’s to many more decades of serving the children of the world.
