Rush-Hour Chat with SCOT volunteers
TWO young Bruneians recently returned from Cambodia where they did volunteer work with underprivileged children there. We had a chat with them about the experience, including that day when they cried.
Click the PLAY button to listen to our conversation with Wa’daah Md Noor, 21, a student at Universiti Brunei Darussalam, and Fatin Shyazzila Baharuddin, 21, a student at the Youth Development Centre (YDC).
Wa’daah and Fatin went to Cambodia to teach English to children in a rural village there. The trip was made possible through ties between Brunei’s Society for Community Outreach and Training (SCOT) and the Organization for Building Community Resources Cambodia.
Wa’daah has done volunteer work with SCOT for about a year. Fatin recently finished an 11-week syllabus under the SCOT Education Project, in which students at YDC get training to boost their confidence in their communication skills using the English language.
Earlier this month, we had a chat with SCOT founder Anwar Muhammad on the project.
