Hi, I'm Ee Ching. I'm a volunteer as a Malay teacher for the Year 6 students in the project "Light A Refugee's Dream". 

I am so lucky that born and raised in my own country. Our government provided free education up to high school. When we are kids, we don't have  to work, no need to be afraid of the war... Most of us know that education is a privilege for kids in Malaysia but did you ever know that some of the kids do not have basic rights to be educated just because they are refugees.  They are not granted the right to attend government schools but allow a basic education in refugee centres. 

They have dreams too. The student I teach told me that he wants to be a chef because he likes cooking and another girl told me that she wants to be a ballet dancer. This is the reason why I'm here and volunteering on this project to light up their dreams. I wish education brings hope to them. I hope their future can be bright. We cannot choose where we want to be born and which family we want to be in. It is the same thing for child refugees. They can't choose to be born in a country where war will not happen and where peace will always be there. They might come from Myanmar, Philippines or Sri Lanka. They need ours help that's why they are here. 

Education is the only way to empower them. Knowledge is the only thing that can save child refugees from the darkness. Unfortunately, education for refugees is not easily accessible and lacks sufficient resources and dedicated teachers. So, the "Light A Refugee's Dream" project of AIESEC at Taylor's University is here to voice up for them. The donation we received will be used to buy technology devices for refugees in Manna House Learning Centre. For example, tablets, laptops and WIFI. 

We appreciate your help in lighting up a refugee's dream. Every child has the right to be educated. 

Thank you for your donation to light up refugees' dreams.
