but while we are all busy tending our neighbour's wound, how many of us are aware of the pain that some of our own family members are facing?
Did you know that...in Sarawak, Punan Bah, the largest and longest longhouse has been burn into debris by merciless fire? did you know hundreds and thousands of years of history, culture and art has been wiped out, just like that? Our Punan villagers now lost their heritage and houses, and daily necessities.
The tragedy happened Monday (5th May 2008) at 11am. The terrifying fire burnt down 4 longhouses and made more than 300 people homeless. The oldest "Keliriengs" or burial poles in whole Sarawak that believed standing for over 200 years in Punan Bah were destroyed. The victims are currently in need of food and clothing.
The CIMP trekking club team, lecturers and students all have dedicated time and effort into helping them to cope with their lost. Our charity initiatives have mainly been going on on campus, but i believe my friends, you people can help too.
