ISKL hosts “Walk for Children: 1 Malaysia” in support of Shelter Home for Children
The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) invites Malaysians to sign up for their inaugural walkathon to raise funds for disadvantaged youth in Malaysia. All funds raised will be donated to Shelter Home, a local NGO. The walkathon will take place on 22 May 2010, at the Lake Gardens (Taman Tasik Perdana) at Tapak A.
The “Walk for Children: 1 Malaysia’, organized by ISKL’s International Club is sponsored by Dell Global Business Center Sdn Bhd, HSBC Bank (M) Berhad and Citibank, supported by Nestle Malaysia Berhad, Allied Pickfords (M) Sdn Bhd and Expatriate Lifestyle magazine and will benefit a registered, voluntary welfare organization for children and teenagers who have been abandoned, neglected, orphaned or abused – SHELTER HOME. Pre-registration for the event is via a donation of RM15 while on-site registration is RM20. All participants will receive a goodie bag and an exclusive collector’s item event T-shirt.
The walkathon proper starts at 9:00 AM, while on-site registration begins at 7:30am. There will be a carnival with booths selling items as well as entertainment during and after the walkathon to entertain the crowd until 1pm.
There will be three routes available: a 1km for the physically challenged, a 3km normal route and an extended 5km route for seasoned walkers. It will be a non-competitive fun walk with a variety of prizes to be given away from the most leisurely walker to the youngest and oldest participants.
“This walkathon is our inaugural event to raise funds for charity and to unite Malaysian youth of all ages and cultures behind the 1Malaysia banner to support a very worthy cause,” said Michael George, President of ISKL’s International Club. “With the help of generous Malaysians and sponsors, we hope to raise RM100,000 to aid SHELTER in their noble cause.”
Following the event, participants will be entertained by live bands, Rapper T’ extrano with a special appearance by celebrity Hip Hop Rapper Caprice. For more information or to register or donate online, please visit http://www.walkforchildrenkl.
