Established in 1987 in Kuala Lumpur,
PT Foundation (PTF) has come a long way from operating a two-line telephone
counseling service out of an apartment on Jalan Alor. The first
non-governmental organization (NGO) to carry out HIV/AIDS work in Malaysia, PTF
has braved funding droughts, program closures and negative societal
attitudes.
In 25 years we have become the leading community-based,
non-profit making organization providing information, education and care
services relating to HIV/AIDS and sexuality in Malaysia. We work at the
grass-roots level and reach out primarily to communities most affected by
HIV/AIDS in Kuala Lumpur. Each day we reach out to 200 of the most
vulnerable members of society through our drop-in centres. Over the years we have
touched the lives of over 60,000 Malaysians.
While we proudly commemorate 25 years this year, we are mindful
that the fight against HIV/AIDS is far from over. With the infection
rate among Malaysians aged 13-29 increasing each year, and the rising
number of women and children getting infected, it is clear that only by
JOINING HANDS will we be VICTORIOUS.
Douglas Lim and Kuah Jenhan are two talented young Malaysians
who dare to make a difference. Through Laugh Yourself Red, they will use the power
of laughter to support us in sustaining and expanding our initiatives which aim
to bring about:
Awareness: through Public Events and Advocacy via Media
Attitude Change: through Peer Outreach and distribution of Safe-sex
Materials
Behavioural Change: through HIV Screening and
Counselling, Peer Education Workshops, Phone Counselling, Support
Groups.
We urge Malaysians from ALL WALKS OF LIFE to put their cares
aside, let their hair down and join us for a side-splitting night of laughs
in aid of children, women and men infected and infected by HIV/AIDS
BE THE SPARK. START CHANGE.
Come Laugh Yourself Red
