What could one ever lose to contribute their time, effort, and a little bit of help, to help others in need? Helping those in need by giving them tutorials, teaching them a little something, and organizing a workshop for them could possibly make the world a better place. On 25th February 2012, KDU members of SUKDU (Student Union KDU), Culinary school and KDU Performing Arts collaborated with TKEP (Titian Kasih English Programme) to organize a workshop for the orphans and those from broken homes. The workshop took place at KDU University College, Damansara Jaya campus.

About Pusat Aktiviti Kanak-kanak (PAKK) Chow Kit:
It is a centre where supervision, shelter as well as education are given to needy children including babies and toddlers of illegal immigrants, drug dealers/addicts, or sex workers. Most often, these kids are deprived of family love and abandoned as they live in the tragic surrounding streets of Chow Kit. These children age from 0-18 are also known as the ‘invisible kids’ because they do not have identifications and are stateless.
