KOTA KINABALU: As the #StandTogether National Kindness Week campaign wraps up its second year, a new crop of students has been inspired to carry the torch by volunteering to carry out “Kindness Projects” in their schools.

One of those schools, last year’s “Malaysia’s Kindest School” winner SMK Sanzac, Kota Kinabalu, saw its school juniors continuing the good work of their seniors, that included Muhammad Saiful Ikhwan Musa, who went on to present his school’s idea at the African Youth Develop­ment Summit in Johannes­burg last November.
