The children of the boarding school, SK Kambug happily carrying their new cabinets for their hostel. This is a Refurbishment Project supported by MaybankHeart where the funds were raised through this crowdfunding platform. Thanks to all donors who have donated to our campaign!

It came a long way since we first met the students in SK Kambug during the KFC Sharing Moments Food Distribution Program back in 2016. We were so impacted by the joy and simplicity of this children, and yet we see the needs of their hostel's condition to be refurbished and the change of new facilities which include the cabinets and mattresses.

Thanks to MaybankHeart for offering us the crowdfunding platform in raising a total of RM 35,443.00 for this project. Thanks to our coordinator Stephen in sourcing the cabinets and other materials and also manpower in implementing this project.

With the coordination by our faithful coordinators Stephen and Li Kean, we were so grateful by their dedication in facilitating our community works in Kuching including gathering the volunteers from Swinburne University through establishing the Swinburne Charity Cruiser Club. Swinburne Charity Cruiser Club volunteers have been the greatest support to the community programs we are doing at SK Kambug, which include KFC Sharing Moments Food Distribution Program and MY Reading Program.

A little background brief about SK Kambug when we first met them in 2016:

The hostel of SK Kambug, which is a second home for a total of 127 students from low income families is in poor and vulnerable condition that needs immediate attention.

Sekolah Kebangsaan Kambug which is a boarding school, has a total of 155 students who majority are from the Bidayuh tribe whose residents are at the hill sides. To reach the school, the students need to walk a 2-hour walking journey through the steep trails.

To ease the challenges and obstacles that are stopping these kids from coming to school, a hostel was built since 20 years ago, for these students to stay through the weekdays while they only will go back home with their parents during the weekends.

These students’ parents worked as farmers and construction workers who earn less than RM 500.00 per month. These parents have high hopes on their children to be educated and one day could break through the poverty cycle.

KFC Sharing Moments with Community at Kampung Kambug, Sarawak

25 February 2017, KFC Sharing Moments with community at Kg. Kambug

The Spirit of Volunteerism brings everyone together for a noble cause. Besides having the volunteers from Swinburne University, we have a group of passionate volunteers from Rogue Squadron Bikers Club who come along with us, in this journey of Bringing HOPE and Changing LIVES for the rural community in Kg. Kambug.

Thanks to KFC and Add Hope Malaysia, we could bridge our love and care to the rural community in Kg. Kambug.

The community who majority worked as farmer could only earn a meager income of RM 200 to 300 monthly. This community whose homes are located at hilly areas often took two hour or so to walk to the school SK. Kambug to collect the groceries from us. And they have to carry the groceries which could supply the needs of the family for 2 to 3 months by their backs with a string hanging from their foreheads, hiking their way back homes.

Despite the challenges, the children remain at school and stay at the school's hostel, while only go home during weekends. And the hostel's facilities are now in poor condition which in need of funding for refurbishment.

The KFC Meals we brought indeed brighten up the day of the community. It warmed our hearts to see the delightful beams from the community's faces.

Thanks to All Fellow Volunteers from Swinburne University and Rogue Squadron Bikers Club for your time and dedication for this outreach program! We hope to see you all once again for many other programs in the future.
