Walk For Children 2011

KUALA LUMPUR: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor flagged off more than a thousand participants of a charity walk yesterday.
The “Walk for Children: 1Malaysia Goes Green” held at Dataran Merdeka was organised by the International School of Kuala Lumpur to raise funds for two children’s homes – Rumah Kasih Sayang Rawang and Shelter Home for Children.
The walk was open to the general public and members of the Malaysian Association for the Blind also took part.

The event was aimed at educating participants on how to lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
“I’m happy to see children being active in sports and becoming more aware about climate change issues,” said Rosmah, who is the wife of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
She also offered her condolences to the people of Japan who lost their loved ones and homes in the recent massive earthquake and tsunami.
“As a wife and mother, I am deeply saddened by the lives lost and damage caused by the disaster,” she said.
