Floods: IOJ extends help to orang asli in Perak

IOJ volunteers speaking to the children at Kampung Sugai Chiong Gerik where they have set up a temporary preschool for the community.

PETALING JAYA: In wake of the recent floods, Institut Onn Ja’afar (IOJ) has set up a temporary preschool for the orang asli community at Kampung Sugai Chiong Gerik, Perak.

The devastation of the floods last month had destroyed the community’s only preschool. 

Around 30 volunteers comprising mostly university students, came together to help upgrade, clean and build the preschool, which was made from bamboo at the existing traditional multi-purpose hall.
