a visit to YOKUK...


http://www.yokuk.org/
today, i woke up at 7.45am, prepare myself and waited for the van that brought me to YOKUK at 8.30am...

reached there after 15min of drive... i came here today because this was my first time visiting the place and wanted to help out in the 'gotong-royong' as well. At first, the place was quiet...it seems empty. Then, came a few men and women, they told us what to do...since it was still early, they decided that we tidy up the compound of the institution.

Each of us (7 people, 4 guys and 3 ladies) were given a rake. We were told to clear the leaves that were scattered all around. It was just like the 'Khidmat Negara' type of gotong-royong so there is nothing much to tell...

After finishing our work, we were given drinks and 'kuih'...later, we set up 2 tents for an occasion at the 31st of July (Birthday party for the disabled in Kelantan - around 250 disabled will be invited according to the people in charge)... here comes lunch time, we had 'nasi kukus' ...yum... after that, they sent us back to campus...

wow, did some charity work today, and in return was given free breakfast and lunch.. =) helping others and myself at the same time...hehe...
