The campaign objective is to change and bring new narrative and positive impressions towards rare disorders individual and community in general.
The project approach is to engage and converse with the younger generation at pre-primary, primary and secondary schools across Malaysia as children are the leaders of the future. The project also strives to educate the public about the presence, challenges and dreams of the rare disorder community via inspirational talk and sharing sessions at various events across Malaysia as well as via sharing on electronic, paper and social media.
