A COURTESY visit was
organised by the Kota Kinabalu MP office recently to the Sabah Aids Support
Services Association. (KASIH). A total

The centre provides care and
couselling to HIV patients/carriers. The support group is headed by its
President Joseph Benedict and his Vice President Agnes Khaw.
The Kota Kinabalu MP office
donated some rice, food and beverages and other daily use items to help this
needy people.
The visiting team was given
a warm welcome by the management and staff of KASIH, and at the same time they
were given a briefing on the KASIH’s mission, objectives and the details on
their operation.
Kasih is a support group
that receives a small amount of funding from the federal government through
Malaysian AIDS Council (MAC). Most of the Kasih’s contributions come from the
generosity of the public. Donations in cash or kind are always welcome. The
public may channel donations to the Association by contacting KASIH at Tel no:

MP Hiew urges the public to
give them more support because these people who were affected by the incurable
HIV is really pity and it is sad to see that they are so helpless.
A very big thanks to the
members of KASIH who had made such big sacrifices to take care of these
unfortunate people. Its President Joseph Benedict also wishes to have more
people to join KASIH to help the needy. He welcome the general public to visit
them and to understand their work.
