MOVE is a NGO developing international workcamps in Malaysia which co-organizes projects with NICE Japan since 2005. As planned, MOVE will do everything by itself from 2010. KSS was founded in 1964 and has about 200 students of mentally challenged children. We aim to stimulate their life and improve their communication skills as well as supporting the teachers.
Work:
We will assist the teachers in the school by helping their lessons as well as organizing workshops with songs, games, drawing, handicraft, exercises, etc. We may also help in the maintenance of the school such as improving the vegetable garden and orchard made by the past workcamps. The school starts a new unit for adults called Shelter Workshop.

« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
