Our visit to the Orang Asli Settlement in Kampung Belihoi, Mantin was held on Tuesday, 8 June 2010. 25 members accompanied by 2 teacher advisors of the Paulian La Salle Confreres took part in this visit.
We gathered at the school at about 7.30am. Some of us helped to carry items such as packets of rice, biscuits, milo and others that were bought to be donated to the orang asli. We departed from SMK St. Paul at 8.00am by a school bus. The journey took about 30 minutes.
Once we reached,we had to walk for about 10 minutes to the village. We were greeted by the village head and invited to the chapel to wait for the other villagers to come.
We had many activities at the village such as a colouring contest, water balloon game, statue game, human snake and ladders and also the ‘pinyada’ game.
We spent about three hours at the village.
The closing ceremony ended with speeches given by the village head and his son as well as Mr.Morgan and Pn. Ng, the 2 teacher advisors.We left at about 12.00pm.
Overall, the visit to the Orang Asli Settlement was a success. We made a difference. Although small, we still felt it was significant.
