27 & 28 February 2010
Myanmar Refugee Dental Outreach held in Kuala Lumpur
“There are now close to 60,000 Myanmar refugees who have made
Malaysia their home after fleeing the oppression of their own
government, they are living under poverty as well as oppression
and fear of being caught and be sent to prison or worst, be sent
back home.” It was the words of Mung San, a Seventh Day
Adventist Myanmar Volunteer who work tirelessly alongside UN in
order to better his fellow countrymen & women.
Seeing their need, the Health Ministry of PEM together with Penang
Adventist Hospital and Dr. Ang Dental Clinic conducted a
1-and-a-haf day Dental outreach on 27 & 28 February 2010. A
Dental group consisting of 2 Dentists, 1 Nurse & a Dental
assistant travelled from Penang in order to help in rendering
service to this group of people; working tirelessly together
with the Medical Missionaries who are currently under training
at the Adventist Community Health Centre. Aside from this event,
the church has also contributed their medicines and a regular
supply of rice for the Myanmar Volunteers. “I am glad that our
church in Malaysia are supporting our fellow brothers and
sisters in Christ as there are about 200-300 Seventh Day
Adventists in the Zomi tribe alone,” says bro. Mung San.
Praise the Lord for the wonderful opportunity to serve Him during
that day. Everyone in the team felt blessed by their good act of
love.
