A different kinda intrusion

A team of 10 from Australia arrived from Singapore yesterday morning, armed with needles, glue guns, buttons, threads, hairclips and other 'dangerous weapons' for friendship. Today, they with another ally, a team of one from Singapore (ahaks!) and another from Malaysia (of one too) gathered at the Projek Harapan first initiated by Kanika, supervised by me some years back.Note how it grows from one country into 3 now?From 4 organisations to 5 (I roped in Yasmin cos' she's working with special children too).This is definitely better than a weekend at Sempoerna or Lahad Datu.A different kinda intrusion!

Verity has agreed to train Yasmin's staff on how to get the kids to be financially independent and employed like the ones she brought with her from Adelaide.Gosh, they paid for their own airfare, you know.Boleh pulak mengajar orang lain ie kids at the Krashpad).

Some pics from this afternoon's workshop:


 Linda made this for me
(she said I want to give this to you
walhal all I did was greeted her hi Linda, welcome
to KL)

This is Linda, flew all the way
from Adelaide to teach bdk2 at Krashpad
how to make hairclips from used
materials
 Demi masa! Good people of different creed and nation
helping and working together

More kids and more Aussie friends

 Cheh..gambar ni blur pulak.Verity yang cantik
menawan tu (ketua)

This is how they pack hair ties and jual at AUD2.50
sampai boleh donate ke Krashpad sebanyak hampir RM7K

 They did not speak each other's tongue
but the atmosphere was electrifying!

My fav pic

Simply amazing
