About Us

SPREAD THE SMILES, MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Young Visionaries Initiative 2009/2010 is a continuity of a project born in year 2003 by AIESEC in Universiti Malaya. It is aimed to bring better changes to less fortunate children in orphanages and shelters within the Klang Valley. Our utmost priority would be the independent orphanages and shelters not funded by corporations and NGOs. Young Visionaries is a programme managed wholly by members of AIESEC in Universiti Malaya with the assistance of volunteers from the public and our very own AIESEC’s international interns carefully selected to facilitate the project in Malaysia. Many educational yet fun-filled programmes will be held throughout the entire duration of the initiative.

Our initiative consists of three main components:

1) Development Internships
Our development internships involve foreign interns who are eager to participate in a wide variety of issues in community development. Through this internship, orphanages will be taking in our Exchange Participants who will volunteer in the orphanages to help out and also to teach the children basic skills and languages.

2) Activities
We have designed some activities for the development of the children in the orphanages. Planned activities include craftworks, tutoring, games, sports and tours to places beneficial for the children. Our activities are scheduled to start twice a month from January 2009 to April 2009.
