Care-A-Van

Two weeks ago, I volunteered for community service with my company's community project called Care-A-Van.
Went to Banting on the 4th Sept and to the "orang asli" settlement in Seremban on the 10th.

That was the first time I join Care-A-Van after 2 1/2 years with the company. But it's never too late.

The most interesting of the two was the "orang asli" settlement in Seremban. We reached there about 10.30am and greeted by Tok Patin, something like Ketua Kampung to them lar.
I volunteered to do the blood sugar test and cholesterol test. The overall result of the "orang asli" cholesterol level was really good, could be due to their diet.

But the highlights of my trip this time was that I needed to help this young 18 years old lady with a baby (in hand) to do her blood sugar test. Only being alarmed by one of the volunteer that she is a HIV positive patient.
Initially, my feeling was "indescribable", not that I'm afraid of anything or discriminate her, but it was the first time I met with someone who is HIV positive.
Anyway, nothing big deal happen.

Learnt that she has monthly routine follow-up from Seremban GH. It's such a pity at the age of 18.
