When they began doing community work in 2018, local rock band Estranged’s band members didn’t expect the impact it would have on themselves.

The band’s contributions over the last four years have led its members Rich Gimbang, Nor Hanafi Nor Hadi and Din Hormatov deep into rural Borneo, opened their hearts and minds to new communities, and given them a chance to expand their horizons in positive new directions.
