New experiences and encounters

| 29 July 2010
Hi Fans,

Long time no see... so here we are again with an update. After a relaxing weekend we have had a week filled with visits to NGO's and some workshops.

On tuesday, 27th of July we visited the PT Foundation who are organizing an event this saturday where we will volunteer with other HOPE interns from UM and other NGO's and volunteers. We are really looking forward to it and will update you in detail =)!


Yesterday we had a very touching and inspiring visit to Rumah Wake I, II and III. Rumah Wake provides support and a home for women, transsexuals and children infected with HIV/AIDS. This time we didn't just talk about HIV/AIDS but experienced what the virus can do in real life. We were touched by the openness and optimism of the residents. Despite the hurt, both physically and mentally, they still find the courage to make the best of life and to stay positive no matter what. This was really inspiring for us and we believe we can learn from their strength and optimism. Thank you so much to the staff and residents to open their house and heart for us and to teach us this incredibly valuable lesson!

We used that inspiration today while giving two workshops at SMKA Maahad Hamidiah to another 100 students. Yet again we were amazed by the warm welcome and enthusiasm of the
staff and students. These guys and girls were very active, alert and really understood the key points we delivered.






























It is becoming more and more clear to us that the HOPE project isn't just a volunteering project but an incredible gift and life experience for all of us =)!
Thank you to everyone who made this happen!!!

We"ll be back soon with fresh news =)!

Tangulu, Jessica, Sarah, Pauline & Dorien
