I’m going through a phase now where I look even deeper into my life, the way
I lead my life, how I trust people, my friendships, relationships, how people
are, and what I can do to contribute to the society.
And Like so many people I had always wanted to ‘do some
good’
So I had a nice little break from civilization
for the past 5 days or so. I was cut off from the Internet, Phone and TV’s for
the whole weekend. But I had a fulfilling weekend nevertheless - visiting
the hardcore poor in remote part of Kapit, Sarawak.
It’s a very priceless experiences
for me to be a part of ASTRO KASIH, ASTRO's
Corporate Social Responsibility programme to helping and overseeing the new building of SK Sg. Paku Hostel over
the weekend.
FYI,the school, which is located 52km
away from Kapit Town by river currently caters to 75 students from six nearby
longhouses with the furthest being about two hours away.
Hopefully,
it would be less taxing for these rural school children when this hostel
is built and hope these students will
have a chance to perform better and excel in their studies.
P.S: I
will share some of pictures in my next entry of the things we had done to
help alleviate their plights. Hopefully, they will lead a more comfortable life
soon after.
