KLANG: Many children with hearing impairment spend their entire lives in a silent world due to their parents’ inability to afford treatment for them.

In view of this, several members of the Selangor royal family have made an effort to raise funds for these children from needy families by taking up the challenge to scale Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest single free-standing mountain in the world at a height of 5,895m above sea level.
