Volunteering at the community was an amazing experience! The staff, co-volunteers, and interns were so fun/light to be with. I loved all the weekly activities, outreach program and learning about textile waste, which also gave me a deeper understanding of the textile waste industry. I Highly recommend the community for anyone looking for a unforgettable volunteer journey!

This was a very impactful and unique volunteering experience. the community is the largest textile recovery program in Malaysia and it was a very valuable experience to learn and see how it works. The volunteer living area is very nice, and even though it is in a more industrial area by the port, they provide a company car for the volunteers to use! I had a great time learning about textile recovery here and definitely recommend it to others.

My experience was excellent. The staff is very friendly and kind, always attentive to our needs and creating a very welcoming atmosphere. The facilities are top-notch: comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, making you feel truly at home. The food is delicious and varied, which is definitely a highlight. On top of that, you'll get the chance to learn a lot about textile recycling and take part in workshops that are both fun and useful, giving you new skills and plenty of inspiration. Overall, it was a very enriching experience that I would absolutely recommend.
