Assalamualaikum and hello,
Have you got any interesting plans to do this weekend?
Let's join and give support to the Sunshine September Campaign at SURIA KLCC and Alamanda from 3-16 September 2014.
Sunshine September campaign was previously known as Purple day and was initiated by Suria KLCC in 2010 to increase awareness about autism among Malaysians. Autism is a complex developmental disorder and though it is a condition with no cure, early detection can help make life more bearable for patients and their family members.
The quest to raise awareness about autism and assist The National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) in raising funds to cover their operational costs is a corporate social responsibility program which has raise RM894,000.00 for NASOM over the past four years.
Come and help to raise the awareness on autism by joining the event at KLCC or Alamanda Putrajaya. Lots of fun activities and prizes awaits!
Alhamdulillah, on 6th September 2014, my family and I were able to join in the fun at KLCC. The campaign was held at the Centre Court. The whole set-up was beautiful with purple color everywhere. There were information boards on autism and NASOM, art exhibition and charity booths. When we arrived, Ramli Sarip was performing in front of an ecstatic crowd. Afterwards there was a talk on real experiences of raising a child with autism.
