On 24 June, the President, Dr. Samuel Kiyui, together
with some members of the Club attended a tea reception
at Telan Usan where they were introduced to 4 Penan
Ketua Kampong from the Sg. Silat, Upper Baram. The
Penans were on a brief visit to Kuching at the
invitation of PDG Datuk Stephen Wan Ullok.
Over a period of 2 days, calls were made to some
members and friends for used clothings and a total of
8 large boxes were collected. These clothing, which
will benefit some 700 Penans from 4 longhouses, were
presented to the Penan leaders during the tea
reception.
This very generous gesture received from Club members
and friends is very much appreciated. The Club would
also like to record it's gratitude and thanks to PDG
Datuk Stephen Wan Ullok for organising the Penan's
visit as well as PP Jacob Sagan, PP Odita Ibrahim and
Rtn Wilford Teo for their presence and assistance at
the handing over ceremony.
