Project SHINE (short for Sanitation, Health/Hygiene, Impact, Nutrition & Education) in collaboration with Clinical Research Centre, Sarawak General Hospital & Penan Women Project. The medical outreach service is limited due to accessibility, lack of human resources & limited medical supplies. This 7-days project will be 100 Penan households (equivalent to 300-500 Penans from mixture of villages with & without access of primary medical healthcare)The project details are as follows:-This is an annual trip organised by PWP to the remote Penan villages spread around Ulu Baram River, which are only accessible via logging roads with 4WDs. In 2017, PWP had similar trip with few medical doctors & realised that this initiative should continue & further expand to other villages. In essence, the 2018 trip, the medical team (consisting of multidisciplinary healthcare professionals, allied health and field researchers) will be giving medical healthcare treatment, consultation, healthy lifestyle education and disease surveillance on the Penans.

Hi ! Make a difference with us ! We are raising RM 30,000 for Project S.H.I.N.E to support the Penan Women Project (PWP) Project S.H.I.N.E is a medical outreach initiative where 15 pax of medical team & volunteers will be travelling to the Penan Settlement in Sarawak in late October 2018 to provide medical assistance, medical supplies ,offgrid solar panels & clean water filteration system to the Penan community for 7 days. How Success Resources got inspired by Project S.H.I.N.E Initiative & decided to assist on the fund raising ? While attending the Video Zero to Video Hero Video workshop recently, we met Laura, Project S.H.I.N.E Coordinator. We were asked to contribute to a cause via creating a video about it and Laura spoke up about the project that she is currently involved in and the rest is history!She shared her presentation with Justin Teoh workshop participants and highlighted that the indigenous people in Sarawak have been marginalised because they do not have MYKAD - they do not have access to healthcare and schooling and are not able to get jobs. She then started Project S.H.I.N.E to raise funds and awareness of the Orang Asli plight as she came across a young girl Jasilia who wanted to go to school but was not able to because she did not have a MYKAD (Identity Card). Without a MYKAD, you cannot have access to schooling, healthcare or get a job. Jasilia's school has refused to accept her unless she has this document. In addition to that, Jasilia has experienced chronic eczema due to lack of clean water where she stays and no access to healthcare. Laura tried to contact people to help resolve the problem but unfortunately 2 years later Jasilia is still not in school.Laura was inspired to help more kids and families hence Project S.H.I.N.E was created. What is Project S.H.I.N.E ?Project S.H.I.N.E stands for (Sanitation, Health & Hygiene, Impact, Nutrition, Education)Right now, Project S.H.I.N.E goal is to raise RM 91,000 to impact 400 Penans in 7 days as the project will also be bringing the following items :● Logistics for 15 pax of medical team & volunteers for 7-days RM31,000● Medical supplies RM30,000● Offgrid solar panels RM 20,000● Portable clean water filtration system for 100 families RM10,000Full details of the project is available at this link : https://www.simplygiving.com/event/projectshinebypenanwomenproject

I did a portrait photoshoot for Laura Chella in Kuala Lumpur recently. I got to know her better during one of the conversations over a lunch break. She spoke passionately about her social enterprising work in Sarawak. She even brought a beautiful hand-made weaved bag by the Penan women. Her Project SHINE goal is to raise funds by promoting and selling the hand-made weaved bags and most of the proceeds will go back to the Project Shine. Project Shine aims to help educate 100 Penan households and families about sanitation, clean water, health, personal hygiene, and nutrition. Her passion and commitment to this project moved me to help her in creating a short video which will be coming soon after we returned from the expedition. I will be following her and her team of 10 doctors and 5 volunteers to document the expedition. We will be going to 100 Penan households in Sarawak for 7 days along Ulu Baram river which can only be accessible via logging roads with 4WDs.The estimated project cost is RM91,000 which is broken down to the following:RM30,000 medical supplies RM31,000 logistics for 15 pax of medical team & volunteers for 7-days RM20,000 solar panel RM10,000 portable clean water filtration system for 100 familiesI created this page for the purpose of inviting all of you to donate towards one of the costs for providing a clean water filtration system for the 100 Penan households and families. Currently, they don't have clean water and water is the basis for overall health and proper personal hygiene, they are suffering from diseases that they do not have any knowledge about.Let's do this together, everyone. Your donation will go directly to the Penan households and families for a healthier and hygienic daily living. Please donate generously with all your heart.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Even more details below.Project SHINE (short for Sanitation, Health/Hygiene, Impact, Nutrition & Education) in collaboration with Clinical Research Centre, Sarawak General Hospital & Penan Women Project.
