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

As Kiwanis Club of Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (KITT) enters its 30th year, we reflect on a meaningful journey marked by growth, resilience, and renewed spirit. Over the decades, the club has experienced different seasons—from vibrant years filled with impactful activities and strong fellowship, to quieter phases of reduced momentum. In recent years, however, the club has seen a refreshing revival. With the involvement of new, energetic members and the continued commitment of long-standing Kiwanians, KITT is once again rising with purpose and enthusiasm. The future looks promising. In conjunction with our 30th Anniversary celebration, the club organised a Retreat from 25–26 October at Cyberview Resort. Nearly all members were present, making it a valuable and meaningful gathering. The retreat was designed with three key objectives: Education & Induction To orient and induct new members while refreshing the understanding of Kiwanis values, operations, and mission among existing members. Team Building & Fellowship To strengthen bonds, deepen trust and camaraderie, and bridge friendships between long-serving and newer members. Planning for the Future To brainstorm and develop programmes and activities that will continue to drive KITT’s impact in the coming term and beyond. The retreat served not only as a platform for planning, but also as a reminder of who we are—a community of people driven by service, compassion, and the belief that together, we can make a difference. Only in KCTTDI — where service meets heart, and fellowship feels like family.
