I figured I don't have to wait till I'm rich before I can start giving something back or effect change. So I've decided to make full use of the only one skill I have, the only thing I'm good at. I'm volunteering my time to work on pro bono web projects for non-profits to help create change and to help the voiceless be heard.
Am currently working on this project for the Chin Refugees. These refugees ran away from their country to escape religious and political persecution but in Malaysia, they face a reality as hard as the one back home. They are fighting hard to obtain their refugee status by the local government. Not securing refugee status means their children cannot attend school and are deprived of education, they live in constant fear of the police & RELA officers, they are reduced to accepting underpaid jobs and are sometimes forced into hiding in the jungles to escape this hard reality.
