Charity Dinner Event

The Story

My name is Xharene Angellav Ongko, founder of HaLokids Therapy Centre.

HaLokids Therapy Centre is Non-Profit Social enterprise that provides affordable therapy for children with special needs. 

I started this project because of my youngest son, who was diagnosed with Central Hypotonia. Along the road with my son i have noticed that awareness and acceptance of people with special needs in Malaysia is still very low. 

In countries where there is better support and acceptance for this minority group, we find that people with special needs categorized as High Functioning are able to find work in large corporations, and have graduated with Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees in many fields. Within the Moderate and Low-Functioning categories, these individuals are still able to participate in society and find work in restaurants, housekeeping, and more.

At HaLoKids Therapy Centre, we want to create more awareness and acceptance for this group. Individuals within the autism spectrum are talented and skilled; they can become assets in the workforce if approached correctly. It is imperative that companies and employers learn how to adapt and work with these individuals.

We will be holding our first Charity Dinner Event at Berjaya Times Square Hotel on the 29th of November, 2019. This event is not only to raise donations for the therapy Centre, but is an opportunity for corporates and businesses to learn about the abilities of people within the spectrum and how they may benefit the workforce. 

Through this fundraiser, you can help by sponsoring a table so that a B40 family with a special needs child may attend the dinner. In return we will provide you with a receipt and a copy of the child’s OKU card for your tax deduction and record.
