Background Info

This project was kick-started in partnership with Batik Boutique Hotel in February 2011. The project was essentially to supply some much needed items to the school SK Semban, located at Kpg. Rejoi, Bengoh. This primary school consists of 36 students at present and caters to the children from the surrounding villages like Kpg. Semban and Kpg. Rejoi.

There is no road to Kpg. Rejoi. You have trek through trails and over bamboo bridges to get there. For the members of the project entourage that went for the hand-over on 8-9.5.2011, we soon came to realize that it was no leisurely stroll.

Thank You!

We spent about 2 months raising funds and donations for this project. The response from our club members, friends, family and members of the public was amazing! We would like to take this opportunity to thank:-
