Congratulation to all SUEC participants & volunteers,
Two days before we start our outreach program in a new location, Salarom Taka, also in Nabawan, we had too little opportunity to reorganize the program since we had no picture at all about the community and it's surrounding situation. Everyone was totally out of idea due to lack of information. But somehow, when we heard the convincing voice from Mr Anthony Amin, the Head Master of SK Salarom Taka (one of key person in Salarom Taka), we felt that there is still hope awaiting. Within 24 hours, we tried to reshuffle some activities to make it feasible to be carried out in the new location appropriately.
On the May 13th, after five hours traveling on the road from Kota Kinabalu, the SUEC chairman, Dr Khalid Johari, as usual, being the first who manage to find the place at 2.00pm, then followed by the groups of 18 participants and 23 volunteers after two hours later. Standing right infront of the long house of Salarom Taka, most of us were still uncertain on what would be happened. A little chat with the Head of the long house, Mr Mandaun, with his friendly voice and fluent Bahasa Melayu speaking, the uncertain hope upon the outreach program slowly vanished. Later, together with Mr Anthony Amin, Mr Jasmen Elahan, the program coordinator and his units had a brief meeting to rearrange some activities to make them more meaningful for Salarom Taka's community.
