Back-to-School Project – January 2026
In conjunction with Inner Wheel International (IIW) Day, the members of Inner Wheel Club of IORAS Ipoh carried out a meaningful Back-to-School Project aimed at supporting children in need.
This initiative focused on assisting three young brothers who recently experienced the loss of their father, Mr. Vikneshwaran Al Vinothan, who passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest in December 2025. The family is currently supported by their mother, Mrs. Hamalatha ap Madan Nair, who works at BMC Ipoh Padang with a monthly income of RM1700.
Understanding the financial challenges faced by the family, the club stepped in to ease the burden by sponsoring essential school items. The children, who are students of ACS Ipoh, received school activity books, exercise books, PJ jerseys, ties, school badges, and a recorder for music lessons.
The beneficiaries of this project are:
The items were officially presented on 9th January 2026 by Vice President Malvinder Kaur and Honorary Secretary Hema Suchitra Dewi.
