Review

I was very impressed with the educational programs which created such positive impact to communities. Within 3 months, most students were able to converse in basic English and use basic computer programs. Most students were very motivated to learn as their education programs encourage students to interact and build their self-confidence.

Furthermore, I feel that their methods are very cost-effective. I do not see a lot of wastage going into unnecessary administration, equipment or amenities. Money is allocated to where it is supposed to be, and that is to educate the people.

I also had so many opportunities to get to know the community. I made friends with neighbors, chatted with them, visited their houses and got involved in village festivals and events. This experience was certainly the best way for me to learn about the local people and culture.

The project managers were also very helpful. They were always willing to listen to my challenges and gave me support when I needed them. I became quite good friends to some of them.

Malaysia is also such a wonderful country. Malaysia is truly Asia...you can visit KL which has all the attractions of a city, you can go to the islands in Malaysia for holidays, or even visit waterfall and climb hills over the weekend. Not to forget, the rest of Asia is so easily accesible via Malaysia because of AirAsia. So you can make trips to other countries in Southeast Asia during your holidays.

I really had a wonderful time. A really great experience that I will never forget.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
