Cureheart, in collaboration with the Kampung Kasat Village Consultative Council, Kasat Primary School, the Prison Department, and the Youth Development Centre, successfully hosted an inspiring event titled “Curhat di Kampung Kitani: Reconnect with Nature, Reconnect with Yourself” at Kasat Primary School.
Legislative Council member and Penghulu of Mukim Lumapas Yang Berhormat Awang Amran Bin Hj Maidin was present as the guest of honour to officiate the launching of the event.
Approximately 200 participants and volunteers attended the event, marking it as a transformative experience for all involved.
The event, held as part of the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports’ Day of Action Campaign 2024, commemorated International Volunteer Day. It aimed to underline the value of community service while promoting mental well-being, environmental stewardship, and personal growth through a series of engaging activities.
Participants took part in tree planting and landscaping projects designed to enhance environmental awareness and improve local green spaces. The programme also included Eco-Art Therapy sessions, which provided a creative outlet for self-expression, and Curhat healing discussions, offering a supportive platform to foster emotional resilience.
As part of their community outreach efforts, volunteers distributed donations to underprivileged families in the area, demonstrating compassion and solidarity.
The initiative brought together former inmates, local community members, and volunteers, creating a space for meaningful connections and collaboration. This inclusive approach highlighted the importance of unity, empathy, and growth within the community.
The organisers encouraged attendees to engage actively in the activities, wearing comfortable outdoor attire suited to the day’s environmental and mental health-focused endeavours.
Cureheart’s partnership with various organisations demonstrated the power of collective action and its impact on both individuals and communities. The event left a lasting impression, not only in fostering stronger community ties but also in promoting environmental care and mental well-being. – James Kon
