Down Syndrome student Alexander Wilhelm, 12, has a busy weekend ahead, as he will be spending many hours baking goodies for a good cause.

The Kuala Lumpur-based boy has received orders for his “gratitude pack”, comprising six florentine cookies, a loaf of bread and two muffins. It costs RM50, and 100% of the funds collected will be channelled to the Malaysian Association of Paediatric Palliative Care's (MAPPAC) fund to build the country's first children's hospice.
