24 CMS employees came together on 19 January 2017 to help build a
new covered walkway for SK Kampung Nyalau in Bintulu. Our volunteers
together with the Parents-Teachers Association and villagers laid
concrete for the walkway and planted flowers and trees around the
school compound.
CMS sponsored materials to build the 66-meter covered walkway which
will provide shade for the students and teachers when walking from the
school entrance to the classrooms.
Over 100 CMS employees volunteered to rebuild the Carmelite
Monastery in Kuching on 5 February 2017. The building was infested
with termites which caused it to rot. CMS also donated 5,000 tonnes of
quarry waste worth RM55,000 used to fill the monastery’s foundation
and compound area.
Solid Foundation for Carmelite Monastery
CMS employee volunteers based in Bintulu and Miri helped with the
preliminary works for the construction of an outdoor toilet for the
longhouse folks of Rumah Jangi, Ulu Sebauh in Bintulu. On 26 February
2017, our volunteers cleared the site of debris before mixing cement
and laying the bricks to build the toilet wall. The much-needed facility
will be used by the longhouse folks and visitors during communal and
festive activities.
