AFS-YES : My teacher gave a key to start my American Journey

In 2008, all what I made to change my life is..
  • GO AMERICA WITH AFS!!
  • thats all what I have!! :D
Firstly, I would never forget my Techer (Cikgu Rohaya) who encourages me to join this program and everything changed in my life. Also thanks to my Bahasa Melayu teacher (Cikgu Aminah) who tirelessly helping me out to process my application form and make everything `smooth`.
My american journey starts at ASL Camp as the first camp for the Deaf organized by American Fileds and Service
Malaysia, AFS (Antarabudaya Malaysia) and the idea of this camp was contributed by my awesome volunteer in Indianapolis (Jim Frenchik).
