A 3-day 4-night trip to Melaka was recently organised for the Handicapped and Disabled home in Gunung Rapat, Ipoh. Seventeen handicapped and disabled inmates with six volunteers enjoyed the fellowship amongst themselves while visiting the River Cruise, Planetarium, Duck Tour, Menara Taming Sari and the crocodile farm. The organising chairman Manin Singh said the purpose of this trip was to give the inmates a break from their daily tasks of making baskets and envelopes and to boost their moral while demonstrating that society cares for them. All inmates were enthusiastic after the trip and wished that more could be organised as it fostered closeness amongst themselves.
