KDSF-NATIONAL CENTRE BRINGING OUR MURAL TO LIFE

On the 26th of May 2026, our artists, Debbie Yap and Irene Ling, with the support of Kiwanis Club of Kuala Lumpur member Joanne Sin, were on-site today sketching the initial outlines for the mural at KDSF National Centre. These early sketches form the foundation for a vibrant artwork that will transform the space while celebrating creativity, inclusion, and community spirit.

We look forward to sharing more progress as the mural takes shape.

KDSF Wall Adoption & Community Mural Initiative “Celebrating the Beauty of Innocence”

Our wall mural project initiative at Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation-National Centre officially moves forward through the support, collaboration, and shared vision of many caring individuals and organisations.

From the first official discussion with our artists, to the preparation works that will be carried out by Rotol Group of Companies, and the generous paint sponsorship by MCI Paints, every contribution plays an important role in transforming our centre into a more vibrant, inspiring, and welcoming environment for our children and families.

On 16 & 17 May 2026, the dedicated team from Rotol Group of Companies carried out important preparation works for our mural project. Their team cleaned the wall, completed repair works, and applied a sealer coating to ensure the surface is ready for the mural installation.

Thank you to Rotol Group of Companies for your effort and support in helping us create a strong foundation for what’s to come. We look forward to bringing this wall to life soon!

KDSF-Melaka Visitation from MiCOST

On 13 May 2025, a group of 22 students from MiCOST, Semester 2 and 3 of the Early Childhood Education program, visited and spent meaningful time with our students. Together, they carried out a variety of fun and engaging activities, including music and movement, gross motor sports exercises, art and craft, as well as making banana and strawberry smoothies.

The event was further honoured by the presence of YB Senator Datuk Hj. Mustafa bin Musa, who graciously distributed door gifts and duit raya to the students, adding to the joy of the occasion.

 

KDSF-Melaka World Down Syndrome Day 2025

World Down Syndrome Day was celebrated on 22 March 2025 with great joy and togetherness. A total of 30 staff and management members from AFA Group joined the celebration with our students. In the spirit of the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri, AFA Group graciously helped decorate the school and generously donated two swimming pools (measuring 4 x 8 feet) for water therapy use. They also supported the centre by upgrading two of our therapy rooms.

All KDSF Melaka students attended the event with their parents. The highlight of the day was a heartfelt performance by the students, who took to the stage to sing “A Thousand Years” using Makaton movements. Each student received a door gift and enjoyed refreshments sponsored by AFA Group, making it a truly memorable occasion for all.
