Hi everyone! (: My name is Thriya Lekka and I'm 19 years-old. I am currently volunteering for this awesome project called "Project WHEE!" that goes by the motto 'We the youth. Helping those in need. Exceeding expectations. Empowering others.' which is my mantra at the moment. To put it simply, Project WHEE! is a youth cultural exchange project that aims to help the women in Bario, Sarawak to earn an income through eco-tourism. As one of the volunteers, I will be assigned to teach English to 1-2 women, at a time,in an informal way, to enable them to become better homestay hosts and tourguides. I will also be teaching English to primary and secondary school children in Bario and over the weekend, I'll be getting my hands on some community work catering to the community needs. I am under Batch 5 and I'll be in Bario for 20 days (+2 days for travelling) from the 17th January 2015 till 7th February 2015. In order for me to go to Bario, I need to raise MYR7100 that will cover basic expenses for Bario. Please note that the money collected under this fundraising event is 100% used to helping the women in Bario. So what are you waiting for? Please do donate by clicking the green box on the top right corner that says 'DONATE NOW!'. Every single cent donated would make a difference in the lives of the people of Bario. They say it takes one to make a difference, so why not YOU be the difference in helping the people of Bario preserve their tradition. Thank you so much!
