VF Twelve
VF Twelve is a celebration of staff birthdays with those who are less fortunate. QI staff who are celebrating their birthday in a particular month are invited to share their special day with children from various welfare homes or community centres in Malaysia.

Each child is paired up with a child and they participate in the activities lined up, working together to build friendship, trust and understanding.
