to make epic changes in their own community."
 Our first community event!on Monday, January 11, 2010
at 5:36 AM “Where’s the toilet?”
The one question that brought forth the birth of this project when we realised there was none on our casual visit to Kampung Jawa Kerling, KKB. Instead we were required to find a nice spot in the bushes to do our business. This was our first exposure to the marginalised “Orang Asli” (indigenous folk) and their lack of basic amenities. Project EPIC is our first effort to lend a hand to the Orang Asli in the form of basic amenities and to help give them a new paint job, doors and window panes. It will be held at Kampung Jawa, Kerling, Kuala Kubu Bahru (approximately 1 hour drive from KL) on the 21st and 22nd of January 2009. This event is open to anyone! We will be requiring many budding painters, and builders to make this successful. This will be a wonderful opportunity to give what we can, and that would be our time, and youthful strength. In return, we will be guaranteed a fun, interesting and fulfilling experience, and hopefully take back some painting, building and fixing skills which we would be able to reapply in future projects. We aim to collect Rm6k to help us acquire all the tools necessary. We are also seeking 50 willing pairs of hands who would help us transform this village. For those who can’t make it for the project but are interested in helping out, do contact us at 012-6910086 (John-Son) 017-2263153(Jon Ming) 016-3177788 (Jasmine) or if you'd like to contribute monetarily, we have set up a bank account with the following details: Bank: CIMB Branch: Subang Jaya Account Number: 1261-0002228-05-3 Account Holder: GROWING EMERGING LEADERS CENTRE ---UPDATE!! --- Because it is a two day event, we realized some of you can only come for 1 day.

The GEL (Growing Emerging Leaders) team is mainly comprised of young adults aged between 18 - 26. GEL began its life in August 2006. It is a group of youth, gathering every Monday to study how to apply leadership and value based principles in their lives. GEL was started to address the needs of our youth when they integrate with the workforce. One of the principles we expound in our lessons is to be externally focused - i.e. to always give back to society / community. Resulting from that, the EPIC Project was born. EPIC (Extraordinary People Impacting Community) is a project that is predominantly focused on the plight of our Orang Asli and how we can assist to raise their standard of living in the long term. Whilst this toilet-building project is the first, it is our hope that with the awareness generated by this project, we will be able to garner support for the next project which will be to help the Orang Asli children integrate into government schools.
