Oh wow… what a great honour to be appointed the Patron of this Charity event!!
Have you done your wee bit of charity this year? Whether yes or not yet, come and support the event: Dance for the Children’s SMILE, a Line Dancing for Charity, Raising Funds and Creating Awareness for Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) worldwide. This is a joint-project by Kiwanis Club of Kuala Lumpur for the global campaign for children, The eliMiNaTe Project.
What is MNT?
You probably have heard of tetanus or lockjaw, an infection commonly associated with rust injury. MNT stands for Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus that infects mothers and new born babies when the umbilical cord is cut without proper hygiene or immunisation. Many babies and mothers around the world die from MNT (an average rate of a case in every 9 minutes!!) especially in the developing countries. We Malaysians are lucky as the immunisation is part of Ministry of Health’s provision to all pregnant mothers, but not everyone in the world can afford the vaccine. A course of three injections costs about USD1.80 is all it takes to save a mother and a baby.
How can you help?
- If you’re a line dancer, simply purchase a ticket and come and dance! The more the merrier!
