I'm There

Hey,

Today is Monday. Woke up early to get ready for the trip down to Cheroh. Cheroh is a small town in Pahang, it is near Raub or Bentong. In this place, Cheroh, quite a big number of OA (Orang Asli) people live. Because Pahang is a very hilly place and it makes it cooling and food is quite easy to get in the Jungle.

Anyway, i went to a friend's place to wait for my transport to Cheroh. We left at around 930am to skip the bad worse jams in Malaysia. The journey is quite short. It takes us about 2 hours plus to reach there.

Sorry i got no pictures yet. End of trip i will post pictures. ;)

We reach there around 1130ish. Some of the teachers were there already teaching a session.

I can tell a thing about OA people is that any little small movement outside, they will look and even run out to see what is happening. Anything, from cars to people to animals. Even if you walk out the room, they are very curious and they will follow you where ever you go. So if you like a crowd, here is the place. This OA people they really look up to outsides or urban people.

This base campsite is very modern. They have good food(one of the best cooks), proper beds, cold showers, entertainment, and beautiful atmosphere.

Anyway, this trip down to see this OA people is not to entertain them but to teach them good proper English and Math. To many of the teachers that came to teach them were super shock because the kids don't know how to speak good proper sentences in English. Their Math also is a bit low standard too. So we had to change our teaching to simple English and i mean really simple English.

So we still need helping hands and teachers to come. Because there were more kids than we prepared for. There is 120 kids now, so we really really need your help.

Anyway, i need to really sleep also, so till then nighty night.

Here,
