Kuching Charity Run for the Cerebra Palsy Children

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that can involve brain and nervous system functions,
  • such as movement,
  • learning,
  • hearing,
  • seeing,
  • and thinking.
There are several different types of cerebral palsy, including spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, hypotonic, and mixed.

I've join in the team to run the event, and to raise fund for the CP children, that centre needs money to get a hydrotherapy swimming pool for the children. The run is mainly to raise fund and also to create publicity for this young society called the Wishesland (facebook link here) to let more people know about the place, what they do, and what they need. So my dear friend, if you are reading this post now, and would like to help this CP children, you can either email me, and go to their facebook page to checkout more details.

The Sibu town area have a lot of Chinese, and most of them operate business here. Its safe to walk alone as Sibu has a low crime rate compare to other big cities on West Malaysia. The people in the town, they have operate business for few generation.

So the business are passdown from father to son, and from son to their son again. So the other business operator knows each other very well, and they also know the person on the next lot, and the next, and the entire district. And that's what makes this place so happening, and people are so friendly.

Friends are gathering together to drink coffee, dinner, chit chat, they hang out together almost everyday. The rhythm here are very relaxing. No crowded traffic, not much pollution, well... although some places are a bit dirty. But overall its still a very nice place.
