Womens' Bureau did their rounds...

In was a busy April as the Womens' Bureau of the Al-Hidayah Mosque, Taman Melawati, K.L. paid a visit to the Basecamp. It was the second such visit by the same mosque to the basecamp nestled in the tranquility of Pos Betau.There were there to witness the free weekly Islamic classes organised by the basecamp for the folks of Pos Betau conducted at the nearby Al Falah Surau.The class has been running for more than a year purely from public donation.

After the class was over, the visitors had lunch together with class attendees. After a really good Malay kampung lunch, the Bureau then proceeded with their other mission -distribution of free food hampers to each Semai family who attended the class. There were smiles everywhere. Some were distributed straight to their houses as they do not have the means to carry the goodies as their village was quite a distance from the Basecamp. The grateful Semai folks could not thank enough for the goodies they had received. It was such a fulfilling day trip for the visitors. It looks like it's going to be a yearly affair for the visitors from K.L.

The visitors arrived by a chartered bus.
