4th NSAC @ Bethany Home, Teluk Intan

Hello….. this is a once every 2 years update on this Blog.

This year the NSAC is held at Teluk Intan and organised by 2 SA groups, Bethany Self-advocacy group & Divine Voice (from Ipoh).

Today morning, 8 of us, Felicia, Cynthia, Nazmi, Lit Whei, Pavala, Sharir, Pn Nareah & I met at Tmn Jaya LRT. Yeah manage to squeeze all 8 of us plus the lug gages into the Avanza…..great car!  We drove UV’s van up to Teluk Intan. Reached Bethany Home around 2pm, just in time b4 the session started.

Met a lot of SA frm other groups and the supporting frens. There were the usual clubs that came, even Sibu Agape Club came all the way from Sarawak (unfortunately Kangaroo Club were not able to come) and 20 SA & supporting frens came frm Kelantan

Pastor Karthik (supporting fren for organisers) welcoming the participants

Chairman, Varaprasad frm Bethany SAG giving a welcoming speech

There are 65 participants and 40 over supporting frens! That is a lot of supporting frens… most of them are volunteers of Bethany Home

Yoshie came back all the way frm Japan to attend this conference….

Ice-breaking games…… participants were divide into different groups

After tea time we went to visit the Caely’s factory where they hired about 20 PWDs to work there.

Some of the Bethany Home’s members working there doing packaging. The CEO also donated RM3000 to this conference.

Of course must have a visit to the Teluk Intan Clock Tower.

Makan time…. I told Urai san abt the conference and since she is not involved in any SA grps….she came as a volunteer for Bethany Home…. sugoiiii….

After dinner we were are assigned to our rooms to a hotel nearby. I was not very happy with the room arrangement. I ended up in a room with 2 SA frm other grps. I told Jayasingh our grp frm UV is ok…most of them r independant.. but what about those who needs support frm thier own supporting fren? Felicia ended up staying in another hotel but she was with Aoi (JOCV, Kelantan) so it was ok. Anyway….. after all the “organised” chaos we were all settled down in our rooms. Dead tired…driving almost 3 hrs to TI…..went to sleep at 11:30pm….tomolo a long day…..with the Leaderonomics team coming to torture us….hahahahahahahahaha
