This month we deployed one of our Singapore based project managers to support an aid mission at a Malaysian village close to our heart, following devastating monsoon flooding there.
David Moses was quick to volunteer to join a team from Singapore humanitarian aid charity Relief Singapore which travelled to Kampung Bukit Dagang on Saturday 29 March to deliver aid packages and help repair the damage.
In October, as part of their Splash Project, 35 professionals on an INSEAD Executive Education Leadership Programme built a multi-sports arena for the community, with many locals getting stuck in to help build the arena with us.
The late-March floods submerged many homes and their café which was their community hub. Residents had to stay in the nearby mosque for at least 24 hours until flood water receded, returning to mud-soaked homes and ruined possessions.
David was part of a team of eight who worked tirelessly until nightfall.
He said:
“We left the community with everyone smiling, but there was still lots more work to do.”
