KUALA LUMPUR: Children orphaned after their parents died of AIDS and pregnant girls as young as 13 in a village in South Africa are getting help from a Malaysian woman, who plans to build a school for them.

Caryn Liew draws her inspiration from the founder of her alma mater, who single-handedly set up the Pudu English School in 1914.
