Multicultural Youth Service Project

Written by: WFWP Malaysia

On January 10, 2025, the Multicultural Youth Service Project, organized by the Universal Peace Federation Malaysia in collaboration with the Special Education Unit of SMK Bukit Tinggi High School, Klang, and supported by the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) Malaysia, successfully brought together various communities for a meaningful cause.

A group of 50 participants—including teachers, special needs students, parents, local community volunteers, and university students—gathered to clean and paint five classrooms designated for special needs education.

The Women’s Federation for World Peace Malaysia played a pivotal role in the success of the event. Beyond supporting the initiative, WFWP also prepared thoughtful gifts for teachers, children, and volunteers, adding a personal touch to the program and expressing appreciation for everyone’s efforts.

The program began with a heartwarming opening, led by special needs students under their teachers' guidance. This included greetings from the emcee, a prayer recital, welcoming remarks by Mdm Buvaneswary, Senior Assistant for Special Education, a speech from Mdm Tan Wan, UPF representative, and opening remarks by Mdm Norlia, the Principal of SMK Bukit Tinggi. During the opening ceremony, a significant moment took place with the exchange of certificates of collaboration between Mdm Lina Cheng, President of WFWP Malaysia, and Mdm Norlia, symbolizing their shared commitment to the project.

The project aimed to create a brighter and more welcoming environment for special needs students while promoting inclusivity, teamwork, and a sense of community. Volunteers worked together to refresh and beautify the classrooms, demonstrating compassion and unity.

Through this initiative, WFWP Malaysia emphasized its mission to foster mutual respect, understanding, and care among individuals from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. The gifts prepared by WFWP not only brought smiles to the participants but also reinforced the importance of gratitude and community spirit.

This collaborative effort enhanced the physical learning space and strengthened bonds among the students, teachers, and volunteers. The event showcased how collective action can create positive change and inspire a more compassionate society.
