Participant Review

We were given the opportunity to carry out a project to help the less fortunate in the society. It was an eye-opening experience to witness the living and study condition of the refugee children and I was touched by the enthusiasm and happiness of each child in the room. I learnt a lot about the planning and execution of the entire project.

I felt especially valued when the children were reluctant to let us go after we had completed our project. They thanked us for imparting some skills into them and helping them to create a more conducive environment to study. They cheered and laughed with us when we were teaching them. They even requested us to eat and play with them.

Khazanah was very supportive of all our ideas and gave us moral and financial support along the way. The facilitators were awesome as well. The manager provided us with a deep insight into the history of their country and gave us some suggestions of ideas for our project. He was also very supportive of what we did.

It is especially important for us to be able to empathize with the people around us. We should not be arrogant and become indifferent towards the issues that are happening around us daily. We should always do our best to help the less fortunate so that they will feel that they are part of this big family.

The insight was planned long time ago by the Human Capital. It was similar to the structure last year. It was very well structured as we did not experience much problem throughout the entire insights. It was definitely time consuming for them to plan and liaise with the people in charge of each organisation respectively.

It was an amazing experience having to work with people of different races and nationalities. We also managed to get the opportunity to interact with the refugee face to face and speak to them about our experiences and listen to their grievances. All of us worked harmoniously together to achieve our common goal.

Khazanah invests an enormous amount of money in each scholar. The main aim is to get the scholars to contribute back to the society after they have graduated from university. They support us financially in terms of academic and personal training. They never failed to remind us to contribute back to our country.

It is important to choose a career that suits my passion and enthusiasm. I should not be motivated solely by the monetary return that I will get from my job. After we become successful in life, we should always contribute back to the society and help the needy or the less fortunate.

All our expenses to and fro from the event was reimbursed fully by Khazanah. They did not expect us to spend a single cent using our own pocket money. They paid us back for all our expenses after the insight. During the few days of the insight, we were provided accommodation and transport so that everyone did not have to spend extra money.

Yes definitely. It is not easy to gain such experience in school or work. It is definitely worth exploring when we are given the opportunity. Having a first hand experience is always different from listening to the experiences from others. Besides, we should not look down on others who are deemed to be lower in their 'social status' as compared to us.
