Overall, it was a great experience. This is not the typical community service. This is indeed a fun one and I did not once regret joining it. All our worries did not come to waste for this amazing trip. Thank you to my Global Leadership mates Amani, Kimah, Mai, Syabil and Aiman Su! We make a good team.
Thank you to Ustazah Ain and Abang Z for their upmost effort in handling this activity. We hope that we can go to Bintan, again and again.
