Kids deserve education


I WAS lucky to be introduced in 2014 to a group of Dutch expatriates living in Malaysia. They have been volunteering at several refugee learning centres in Kuala Lumpur. When we met for the first time, I was taken aback by their stories about the children they support.

That first conversation led to se­veral more meetings, and eventually they resulted in the formation of Ideas Academy. This is our learning centre in Pudu, where we provide secondary level education for refugee children from 12 countries.
