Hippo Homestay in Malacca
27th December 2008 ~ 2nd January 2009
Opening ceremony at MISDEC on 28th


Malaysia welcomes Hippo Families with “Selamat Datang”

Fourteen participants (from 4 families) arrived in Malaysia to spend their winter holiday and experience “Kampung” lifestyles. All the way to Malacca (their homestay destination), participants enjoyed the trip by singing and showing their scrap book to everybody inside the bus. We arrived at Melacca Industrial Skills Development Center (MISDEC), our counterpart organization in Malacca, at 12.30 pm. Participants were welcomed by the traditional beating of the kompang. En. Zamrud, Executive Director of MISDEC and Mr. K. T. Khor from PAAM gave warm welcoming speeches. Later in the afternoon, the participants shared their moments with the host families by taking photos and introducing themselves. !

Farewell and please come back again

Time flies fast, and on 2nd January, PAAM staff together with Mr. Yap Choon Ming bid sayonara to all the participants. Photos were captured, with smiles all over them. On behalf of PAAM and the Hippo families, we thank all those who have kindly, directly or indirectly, supported this program.
