Day 2: Night Lesson with the Children

We had our dinner after the tour and conducted our night lesson thereafter. The night lesson conducted just a while ago was a blast and both the team as well as the kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly with songs and dance activities as part of an English programme for the children!

It has certainly been a long day for the team! Nonetheless, we are looking forward to the next day which we will be making and installing signboards at the Hatchery! So stay tuned for more updates!

Good Night!

Day 2: Tour around Kampong Mangkok

Kak Tar’s cooking is really awesome. After a hearty lunch today, Sijie, our advisor, brought the team to explore the village. We went on bicycles and visited a few areas. Firstly, we went to view the houses that the team will do painting for. There will be 2 houses that Project Orion III will assist to paint for the villagers. So we started off the Tour by heading to both house to access the location and to determine the manpower needed as well as any restoration work to be done, etc. 

Next we went to take a look at the houses previous Orion teams have done repair work or painting for. One house which we visited was Pak Mutasfa’s. He is unemployed and has been suffering from both kidneys’ failure since 2003 and started dialysis since 2004 when he was hospitalized.  Project Orion 1 dug a 6 feet deep compose well and built a proper toilet for the family of 4. Pak Mustafa is now well and receives subsidy for his medical fees from the government.

Thirdly, we rode past the school whereby the team will do a Mural Painting for. Last but not least, the team headed to Pernarik Inn where a Hatchery is built behind the Inn. We went there to take a look at how the Hatchery is built and run. After which, we went to the beach behind the Hatchery and played ‘Ice and Water’ with the infamous Ghost Crabs!

Day 2: Beach Clean Up

Good day! Project Orion III did a Beach clean up this morning after Breakfast at Kuala Bahru. 6 members made their way to the Beach by taking a boat ride whilst the others took a Car to the Beach.

Boat ride! :D

The team picked up Plastic Bottles, Glass Bottles and other rubbish that were littered around the area. We cleaned up about 500 meters of the Beach and collected about 12 trash bags worth of Plastic Bottles, 5 bags of Glass Bottles and about 8 bags of the other types of litters. After which, we made our way back to Kampong Mangkuk, together with all the items that we have collected at Kuala Bahru.
