Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan. It is slanted leftward. The tower was originally used as a water tank to store portable water during dry season and used as a time keeper as there is a huge clock on top of the tower.

Went to Teluk Intan 2 days earlier b4 the camp. It was the opening of Giant Hypermarket on the day I arrived there. Managed to meet up with my coursemate, Chu Jie from Teluk Intan. He brought me & my sis out to jalan-jalan & cari makan. Schools everywhere at Teuk Intan. I was surprised with the number of schools exist in a small town like that! I'd never miss to try the famous chee cheong fun there! The Fried Kuey Tiau there was GOOD~~thumbs up! Considered myself lucky coz I get to watch Terminator at the newly open Cinema there.

Chee Cheong Fun, must eat food @ Teluk Intan. The Chee Cheong Fun over there was different from the HK Style Chee Cheong Fun that we used to eat here.

Bethany Home. A Training Centre for Special Needs People.

Brief introduction about Bethany Home. Well, Bethany Home is a training centre for epileptic & intellectually disabled children & adults. It started in the early 1960s by the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Their policy is to encourage and support people with a disability to live within their own families and community. It aims to equip them with skills needed to become as independent as possible and contributing members of that community.

Stayed at Barre I.J Centre throughout the 3 days camp.

Each of the volunteer was appointed to take care of a special 'baby'. This is my 'baby', Kang Cheng Yen, 14, diagnosed with moderate mental retardation.

Me and some of the special kids.

Butterfly Farm @ Cameron Highland.

Visited BOH Tea Plantation. Nice view, tea leaves everywhere.

It's party time! The theme was We Are One, which means we all have to look the same with our 'baby'.

The winner of We Are One. Creative ya..with those fish around.

Volunteers (from German, Korea, Philippines, Japan & different parts of Malaysia) and special children. It was a great experience to get along with them.

Each of them is Special, in their own way. They need LOVE & SUPPORT from us!

Stopped by at Lata Iskandar Waterfall on the way back to Teluk Intan. Located way up to Cameron Highland. Visitors can see great cascading waterfall view right by the roadside. Love the view so much, so relaxing!

This was the most meaningful and fulfilling camp I'd ever joined. Perhaps this was also the most meaningful things I'd done throughout this sem break. It was totally a different experience from the other camps that I joined before.

This camp is not about enjoying yourself, it's how to make those special child enjoyed themselves as well. It was not about receiving, it was about giving. Give your love & care to these special needs people. It wasn't easy for volunteers like us coz we're not well-trained and we'd to learn to get along with those kids as well. I'd said that it was a new challenge for us.

Special needs people are special in their own way. They certainly need our help & support for them to lead a better life. It is important for us to create a more caring community and accept them into our society. Just give them a hand or even a SMILE. It will be a great help for them!
