“I’ve read so much about Covid-19 and I am actually scared to contract the infectious disease. Because of that, I take steps to protect my community from being infected and infecting others. For the last eight years, Micheal, a father of three, has been a volunteer with WVM’s Starter Group, which comprises individuals who serve as liaisons between WVM and the community.
“My biggest challenge is getting the villagers to participate in community-based activities,” shared Micheal, who works at a school in Sook, an interior town two hours’ drive from the state capital.Over the years, he’s been educating his community on the importance of education, nutrition and child protection.
“One of them will also act as a photographer. I expose them to volunteer work at an early age so that they will understand that it is a good practice that will make the load lighter when many hands come together to help others. “I call on Malaysian youths to band together and be agents of change starting from their own community.”Meanwhile, Tan Ming Sen, 41, has been a WVM volunteer for 23 years. The Batu Pahat, Johor-born Tan first signed up for the role during WVM’s 30-Hour Famine – an advocacy campaign against hunger and poverty – event in 1997.
