A visitation from Sekolah Kebangsaan Datin Fatimah

On the 24th of September 2022, forty teachers and committee members of the Parent-Teacher Association of the Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Datin Fatimah, Tong Pelu Kedah, made a visit to Kuala Lumpur. They were headed by the school’s headmistress, Puan Masni binti Nawi.

They first visited the grave of Tun Fatimah Haji Hashim ( the school was named after her) and recited the Yassin and tahlil prayers there. The delegation later had lunch at the residence of Dato Ali Kadir, one of the Trustees of the Foundation. Some members of Tun Fatimah’s family also attended the lunch. The visit has helped to strengthen the bond between YKF’s trustees and the school.

The Foundation has had a long history of over 20 years in its relationship with the school. At Yayasan Kadir & Fatimah we believe that education is key towards the eradication of poverty. Every year, YKF awards 12 students from the school (two students from each year group) with the Tunas Harapan scholarship. It is heartening to note that some of these students have now graduated from universities and are now having good jobs. Additionally, we have also donated to their ‘Tabung Tun Fatimah’; a fund which has been organised by the school to help students and their families who were affected by Covid. Other donations to the school include the upgrading costs for the school’s toilets renovation and contributions to the cost of new signboards for the school.

We at YKf, sincerely hope that there will be more future events and visits by the school and for us to visit them. May the bonds that we create leave an impact to be cherished.
