Project Summary
Support from ICAP Charity Day 2015 in Kuala Lumpur enabled Naam Association Malaysia (NAAM) to provide free medical services to poor Orang Asli families attending a local Eid celebration.
In August 2016 Naam Association Malaysia hosted an Eid celebration for the indigenous Orang Asli community in Bukit Kemandol, offering free basic medical check-ups and appropriate medication. The celebration was held at the primary school compound of Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Kemandol in Jenjarom, Selangor.
The medical team was made up of a group of Sikh medical personnel who run the NAAM Clinic; a free clinic in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
200 adults and children attended the free clinic in the morning, which included many first-time patients who had never undergone a basic medical check-up. The medical team were able to treat cases of URTI, diarrhoea, skin problems, helminthiasis and malnutrition.
In the afternoon, guests were served a scrumptious buffet spread of festive food and goodies and guests were also entertained with traditional dances and a karaoke stage. The celebration was appropriate as Eid is a time to give to those in need.
