The MSL Neighbors is a social initiative by SPH Kemang Village students that focuses on helping kids who have dealt with or are currently dealing with different forms of cancer. Their main goal is to provide medical, financial, and emotional aid by building relationships with the children as well as hosting events to raise funds
It was founded in 2020 by Tedra Simatupang when she was in 9th Grade and today, the MSL Neighbors are run together by Tedra, Kenneth, Russell, and other friends.
They were inspired to help kids with cancer when they were involved in the SPHKV Moms outreach event with child cancer patients in Yayasan Kanker Anak Indonesia (YKAI). Seeing many child cancer patients around their age, their hearts were moved to start an initiative to continue helping those kids on a more personal level.
"What motivates us is seeing how these kids relentlessly pursue their dreams. These kids are very talented in art, dancing, singing, and a lot more, and we don't want cancer to get in the way of them reaching their full potential," Tedra said.
Until today, the MSL Neighbors have provided Christmas gifts to 200+ children from their “Joy in the box” event. On December 2021, they also hosted an event where the children got to paint and draw.
We are amazed to see our students' passion and real action to help and serve others. Let us also take part in their cause and be a blessing to children who suffer from cancer!
