My Story

Hello there everyone!! I'm Devraj! An ordinary 20 year old, trying to live an extraordinary adventure!! Currently, I'm a chemical engineering student at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. So here's a little about Project WHEE! It takes place in this small indigenous village in the highlands of Sarawak, Malaysia. A nicely secluded place that's on the brink of becoming a eco-tourist attraction that could drastically improve the quality of life of the Kelabit community there, however the large language barrier becomes a big problem. This is where a group of 14 volunteers from the youth cultural exchange will be there for 3 weeks to teach the local Kelabit ladies English that they can directly apply in their day to day lives of being eco-tour guide. The youth volunteers will be assigned to a kelabit lady and will shadow her on her daily activities teaching them English along the way. Personally, I feel the community needs all the help they can get because without it, its only a matter of time before the Kelabit culture is driven to extinction. As a fellow Malaysian, I feel responsible to do my part to assist in preserving the community! I just wanna keep Malaysia as incredible as its always been! :) If you feel led to donate, please feel free to! Donations of any amount will make a big difference and feel free to share too if you want. Do note that all the funds collected will be used completely for Project WHEE! and Bario. Project WHEE! is collaborating with Simply Giving and Do Something Good to raise funds to send around 14 youths to Bario. If you wish to donate, you can donate through this website you are in now!
