THIS year’s Latin American Festival meant more than just sharing and celebrating the culture and heritage of the Latin American countries in Malaysia – it was about helping those in need.

The 8th Latin American Festival raised RM77,484.60 at the event held on May 22 and the funds were donated to Kirtarsh Handicapped and Disabled Children’s Home.
