HELP OUR ORANG ASLI PROJECT

​Hi, we are the current batch of first year law students from the University of Malaya and in conjunction with our university's Social Engagement course, a project will be carried out to help the Orang Asli community at Desa Temuan Settlement near Damansara Perdana. This project requires manpower and financial resources, however it is the latter which we are lacking right now. Hence, it is our humble request for your kind help in providing some cash assistance to facilitate our project.

Snapshots of our involvement in Desa Temuan in the past weeks:

Our RM10000 project is includes, but are not limited to the following objectives:

1. Providing free tuition classes for the Orang Asli children, which requires some study materials. (RM500)
2. Repairing any damaged furniture or infrastructure which requires fixing, or replacing them with new ones and repainting walls. (RM5000)
3. Organising "Hari Keluarga" (Family Day) for the Orang Asli. (RM1000)
4. Community activities held for the Orang Asli. (RM1000)
5. Miscellaneous, eg. transportation, hampers, documentation, profiling, etc. (RM2500)

*Any extra funds will be handed to our main collaborator, Persatuan Iqra' Malaysia (PIM), an NGO to help the Orang Asli.

As much as we are committed into making this project a success, we sincerely hope that we will receive support to propel us to greater heights.

Together, we can build a better environment for the Orang Asli, and we strongly believe that no Malaysian deserves to be left behind.

Our main stumbling block is the lack of funds available to us. For now, we have to use our own money to carry out preparation work. Transport to Desa Temuan each Sunday also incurs a certain amount of money.

Another challenge for us is that the Orang Asli are very shy but they will open up to you once you have established your friendship with them. We will continue to reach out to them and assist them in any way we can.

Last but not least, repairs and replacement work (includes repainting walls) in Desa Temuan will incur a larger portion of funds obtained.
