16th Latin American Festival Cheque Presentation Ceremony
Spreading the Spirit of Joy and Festive Cheer from our 16th Latin American Festival.
Following the roving success of our 16th Latin American Festival held on Sunday, 9 November 2025 at Low Yat Park Bukit Bintang, a total of RM59,396.60 was raised. This fund has now been donated to two organizations at a cheque presentation ceremony held at the Kontiki restaurant at The Federal Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, 10 February 2026 as follows:
❤️ RM 19,191.00 to MyKasih Foundation who runs a Skills & Entrepreneurship Training programme which includes a dedicated sewing program with the provision of modern sewing machines designed to empower low-income women and help them achieve financial independence; and
❤️ RM 40,205.60 to Persatuan Membantu Orang Kelainan Malaysia (PMOKUM) to support the project “1 Blind 1 Cane” for visually impaired people who use canes as a mobility aid to move around independently.
The funds were raised during the recent 15th Latin American Festival organized jointly by the Embassies of the Group of Latin American and Caribbean in Malaysia (GRULAC) in collaboration with Plaza Low Yat and Federal Hotels International together with the Latin Women’s Association of Malaysia.
“Our journey begun in 2011 when Federal Hotels International (FHI) together with Plaza Low Yat and bbpark (now Low Yat Park) collaborate with the Latin American and Caribbean (GRULAC) Embassies, and the Latin Women’s Association of Malaysia (LWAM) on the 3rd Latin American Festival held for the very first time at bbpark on Sunday, 22 May 2011. We are most happy to work in strategic partnership this meaningful rewarding annual Charity event, which is one of our FHI Group’s continuous Sharing & Caring Community Commitments, reaching out to the community. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to our partner Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (Kuala Lumpur City Hall), Malaysian Red Crescent as well as sponsors from Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Airlines and Bluestar AMG.”
