“This was the first time that GAB
has visited our home and it was
indeed meaningful. They brought
paint to paint the house, and had
some ‘gotong-royong’ around the
compound. The children were happy
and excited to receive their visit.
I thought it was tremendous
teamwork as the team members
were not only from Kuantan but as
far as Terengganu and Kemaman.
It’s something different that a big
company like GAB has their staff out
to do social work for the community.
It’s a good initiative, as compared
to just monetary donations and this
should definitely continue in
the future.”

CASE STUDY
The Big Day Out – Timur Angels
For the Big Day Out, our colleagues from Timur
spent a whole day at a private orphanage, Rapha
Children’s Home, which needed public support for
the maintenance of their premise. Rapha Children’s
Home was founded on August 27, 1998 by the
Kuantan Pastors and Leaders Fellowship and is now
home to 31 children aged from two to 19-years old.
Its objective is to provide care for underprivileged and
abused children as well as orphans and the home is
manned by five full time staff - a supervisor, a chef, a
driver and two general staff.
Among the activities carried out by the GAB team
from Timur were painting, cleaning of the compound,
cutting down old tree branches, and the fixing of
mosquito nettings. At the same time, the team
collected donation in the form of various dry food,
beverages and stationary for the children.
On top of that, the level of support for this project in
Timur was prominent as they got extra support from
people out of the team. Our draft beer contractor
and members from Kuantan City Hash were present
to help out voluntarily, showing the level of impact
the project had on the GAB team in Kuantan and their
fellow supporters.
