Brief:When shopping, movies and clubbing sound too ordinary to you, why not try on something more challenging and enticing?
Youth development NGO, Raleigh International Kuala Lumpur will be organizing an Introduction Weekend (IW) from 18 to 20 December 2009. All Malaysian youths aged 17 to 24 are welcomed to join us at the 3 days 2 nights camping event.
Introduction Weekend serves as a prerequisite and training ground for potential Raleigh International Expedition Venturers. During the Introduction Weekend, participants will be exposed to different skills and activities that are similar to experiencing an expedition.
What is an expedition?
Being a UK-based charity, Raleigh International inspires youths from all backgrounds and nationalities to discover their potential by working together on adventure, community and environmental projects. The 10 week long expedition is an eye opener for youths to meet people with different backgrounds and work in challenging conditions.
Since 1984, over 300 Malaysian youths have been taking part in Raleigh International Expeditions, be it local or international. Even HRH Prince William went to a Chile Expedition in 2000 as part of his gap year.Expedition countries this year include Costa Rica / Nicaragua, India, and Sabah. The next expedition will take place in February 2010.
Who is eligible to join IW?
If you are between the age of 17 to 24 and is able to converse in English, do not miss the opportunity to meet up with other youths who share the common interests as you. Participants are preferably able to swim 200 meters unaided. A minimal fee of RM 50 will be charged, which covers insurance, transportation, food and accommodation expenses over the weekend.
We look forward to meeting young and vibrant adventure enthusiasts at the event!
Get Out There!

ReplyDeletehi there,
ReplyDeleteyes, the minimum age for expedition is 17 years old, so at very special cases then only we will accept IW applicants whom are 16 years old. No worries though, you can join the IW when you turn 16, and then go for an expedition straight after spm!
You are always welcome to join our monthly meetings, do watch out our space for updated details of that activity! Or better still you can sign up to our raleigh kl yahoo group mailing list, to get updates of our events and activities!
cheers,

hello!
ReplyDeleteI am so into this IW but I've got a holiday job on my hands. Can I still join other activities despite skipping the IW?
Hi Carmen,
ReplyDeleteAhh, what a waste you cannot make it for this forthcoming IW! Yes, definitely you can join other activities organised by Raleigh KL!
The next one coming up real soon is our monthly meeting at Batu Caves - the Raleigh way. More details here: http://www.raleighinternational.org.my/2009/11/raleigh-kls-last-monthly-meet-of-2009_28.html
Look forward to seeing you in a week's time!

Hi Kar Lye,
ReplyDeleteI received a forwarded email on this opportunity and it got me excited! Tried to download the form a few times just now but the link didn't seem to work. Is it ok if you could send the form to my email?

Thanks a lot! (And hopefully there are still some spots left for the IW)
I know this page may expire soon but congrats and well done to the Team of people who organised it for us. You work tirelessly to make us suffer and have fun at the same time. It was an awesome experience. So claps to you all. Haha. And an extra dedication to Kuna, if she gets this, thanks for the care when I was allergic to something that I didn't bother until this camp. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteHi ShenQ, no problem and hope you had lots of fun despite being allergic to insect bites and having rashes all over. Your spirit is commendable and hope you'd join the expedition soon. Keep us all posted :)
