the health camp

last friday and saturday, i joined a health camp at kg sg tiang and kg gol in jerantut, pahang (extremely near to taman negara).

the clear blue sky, welcoming us to the kampung. too clear in fact it was scorching hot that day. we were quite dehydrated.


after lunch, we went to visit the neighbouring orang asli village. we distributed food and soap to them and tried to promote hygienic practice (setakat mane yg mampu). it was quite awkward. didn't know how to go about it.


at the tok batin's house; with his 2 sons and 3rd daughter in law and grandson.
the kid at the far left is 2 yrs old while the kid next to it is about 4. they seem nearly the same size. that's becoz before age 2, they are fed with milk, after that, they eat adult food and start to become malnourished.


while visiting one of the houses, 2 dogs suddenly got into a fight and a bunch of dogs came to cheer them on. the noised they made was quite scary. its a good thing the tok batin was around to dismiss the dogs or i doubt we would have stepped outside the house.


this lady sells basic grocery stuff to the villagers. she's a muslim alhamdulillah and has the awareness to do dakwah. may Allah help her and reward her accordingly.
