AAC Friends to the Rescue!
Her friends from the AAC did not disappoint her.
To make Kaiyati’s vision come through, three of them brought down their sewing machines to participate in the project, come what may!
“I was further motivated by their enthusiasm, and called up more of my friends to help us out. Those who can knit, sew by hand, crochet, and the likes, I recruited them immediately to join my project as well!” exclaimed Kaiyati.
The youngest of the group, Zarinah Baharom, 59, or known as Zaza at the AAC, chimed in stating that she took pride in sewing items that challenged her skills.
“I started making unique handbags from watching YouTube videos for inspiration. I remember it was around the Chinese New Year celebration and I made many handbags with that theme in mind,” said Zaza adding that the fundraising activity brought her immense satisfaction.
Upon retiring from the apparels department at the airport, Zaza has had a keen interest in volunteering but did not know where to start.
