Towards the end of the Hari Raya month, PERNIM – Persatuan Kebajikan Anak Pesakit HIV/AIDS Nurul Iman – Kpg Cheras Baru, organized a Hari Raya Open House jointly  supported by individuals, hotels & students from local higher learning institutions. The function was spearheaded by Puan Hjh Norlina Alawi, the founder herself alongside a few kind hearted individuals to celebrate the ‘gift of children’ in conjunction of the joyous Hari Raya month. Puan Hjh Norlina Alawi, founder of the home for orphans, abandoned and children with HIV, together with her 60 over children, were surrounded by royalties, the media, celebrities, friends from all around including children from other shelter homes on the day itself. Lead by Tengku Johari, the Harley Davidson – Malaysia Chapter also arrived to share their love towards all the children.

I thank Wawa & Jimmy, two of the individuals responsible for organizing this event in inviting me to photograph the function. Everyone especially the kids, really enjoyed the program flow runned by the well known, Azwan Ali (You know… “Amboi amboi amboooooi!”). Yeah.. I met him in person folks! hahahaha…Very spontaneous fella this Azwan.

Personally, it was a ‘heart moving experience’ for me to be around so many less fortunate children that day.  At one point ,when I was shooting candid portraits of the children, I came to think of how blessed most of us are where most of us grew up having mum & dad attending to our everyday matters. Then, as I looked through my viewfinder, my eyes just got heavier at the images of these children.. I kept asking myself, “What is playing in their mind?”

So here you go folks, my selection from the celebration… Get ready for a huge one this time kay!
