VIEJO, Calif., Jan. 6, 2025
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a heartfelt mission to uplift and empower,
Dr. Dame Shellie Hunt, founder of
the globally acclaimed non-profit Women of Global Change (WGC),
touched down in Kuala Lumpur to
bring comfort, support, and opportunities to women, children, and
families. Partnering with Anne Tham,
WGC Malaysia Chapter President, Dr. Hunt's visit was a powerful
reminder of the strength found in global unity and shared
purpose.
Anne Tham
reflected on the resonance of Dr. Hunt's visit, saying, "Shellie's
presence here reminded us of the extraordinary power of compassion
and action. Together, we're creating a legacy of hope that
transcends borders."
At the heart of Dr. Hunt's visit was her time at the University
of Malaya Medical Center, where she met with patients undergoing
chemotherapy at the 10U Daily Treatment Center. In a gesture of
compassion and care, she brought essential self-care equipment and
greeting cards filled with words of encouragement, delivering not
just physical support but also hope. The visit was warmly received
by medical leaders, including Prof. Dr. Woo Yin Ling, Mrs. Fatimang Ladola, and Mrs.
Sarina Binti Ismail, who welcomed
the efforts to bring light to these patients' journeys.
"This visit was not just about the gifts we brought, but the
human connection we shared," said Dr. Hunt. "Every kind word, every
small act of love, is a reminder to these patients that they are
seen, valued, and supported in their fight."
Dr. Hunt also visited the DWI Emas International School, where
she shared stories, inspiration, and essential care packages with
the children. Each package, containing items like hand sanitizer,
candy, soap, handwritten notes, and more, symbolized the love and
care of a global community standing behind them. The children's
smiles and excitement reminded everyone of the power of simple acts
of kindness to spark joy and hope.
The trip continued with a collaborative effort to support
Yayasan Chow, where Dr. Hunt and Anne
Tham met with Ms. Ananti, CEO of the foundation, to address
the needs of underserved children. Through thoughtful dialogue and
generous donations, the Women of Global Change demonstrated their
unwavering commitment to strengthening communities through both
immediate relief and long-term support.
But the mission didn't stop there. This visit to Southeast Asia also highlighted WGC's
solidarity with other global changemakers. Dr. Hunt reflected on
the shared vision of empowerment, citing celebrities like
Caroline Rhea, who advocates for
health equity through her work with the Luskin Orthopaedic
Institute for Children in Los
Angeles, and Olivia Rodrigo,
whose collaboration with Jhpiego has brought life-saving healthcare
to women and families in the
Philippines.
"We are all connected by a shared humanity," Dr. Hunt
emphasized. "When we stand together, we can achieve
miracles—whether it's providing healthcare, education, or simply
hope for a better tomorrow."
This belief in unity and action is the cornerstone of Women of
Global Change. With a mission to empower through education,
business, and sustainable development, WGC operates across multiple
continents, creating a ripple effect of positivity that has reached
over 50,000 families. WGC's International Summits, held in diverse
locations around the world, gather business leaders, entrepreneurs,
and advocates to collaborate on innovative solutions for pressing
global challenges. These summits are not just meetings—they are
movements.
After her impactful visit to Malaysia, Dr. Hunt traveled to the WGC
Philippines Chapter, where the work continued. From schools to
communities, her focus remained on empowering individuals with the
tools, knowledge, and support needed to thrive. Whether through
educational programs, sustainable business development, or hands-on
humanitarian outreach, the mission remains the same: to uplift,
inspire, and transform lives.
Anne Tham reflected on the
resonance of Dr. Hunt's visit, saying, "Shellie's presence here
reminded us of the extraordinary power of compassion and action.
Together, we're creating a legacy of hope that transcends
borders."
As Dr. Hunt herself put it: "Empowered individuals create
empowered communities. Together, we are building a better world—one
person, one community, one act of kindness at a time."
