The initiative was organised by the Ismaili Civic community in Penang, along with Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), Think City, Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang (MBPP) and volunteers of the Malaysian Humanitarian Foundation (MHF).
The project kicked off at 9am and was carried out for several hours.

Among those present were Hamdan Abdul Majeed, managing director of Think City Penang, Francesco from Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), Azmin Saduruddin, Vice President of the Ismaili Community among others.
