Throwback to 4th of March sunny afternoon, 3 members from our group kicked off their journey to the Malaysia Association for the Welfare of Mentally Challenged Children which is located at Petaling Jaya, Selangor. The distance is just 2.5 km from University of Malaya, which only took us 6 minutes by car to arrive.

As soon as they enter the compound of the centre, the principal at the place is really welcoming of their visit, the children waved happily and jump in excitement during our visitation.
