Johor Bahru Service Project 2007

The Family Enrichment Society (FES) is pleased to inform you of our new upcoming Overseas Service Project this year in Johor Bahru. It will be in the districts of Kota Tinggi and Ulu Tiram on the 29 June - 8 July 2007.

In December 2006, both Singapore and Malaysia were hit by unprecedented heavy rainfall. Many areas were subsequently hit by floods. The district in Kota Tinggi in particular was the worst-hit, with flood levels rising up to 1½ storeys. Roads to the area were cut off due to mudslides, and homes were washed away. Most of the affected people come from poor families that were unprepared for such a natural disaster. Now, 3 months on, the water has dried up, and Kota Tinggi is no longer in the public limelight. However, the relief-work still has to go on as Kota Tinggi tries to recover.

In this project, we will be working with the locals to undertake some repair works and educational activities with young people.
