KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22 (Bernama) -- Kiwanis Malaysia has joined hands with the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) to raise RM100,000 (US$29,450) for suffering children in quake-hit Haiti.

the funds would be used to provide them with clean water, nutritious food and
temporary school, medical aid, sanitation and shelter materials.
"Education is the best way to protect children and it is a powerful
instrument to move themselves forward to a better life in the future," he said
