Change Your World

Change Your World Impacts a student in Australia

I was deeply moved and inspired by the I Love Kluang project!

“…and in this day and age where many of us are simply cynical that our country will ever change, I came away inspired that a bunch of young Malaysians were willing to step out humbly with a heart that said, I will do my part to change the world.”

“I think it’s important for young people to learn to love their country, be proud of where they come from, and come back, eventually, to serve their community and their nation. Life is not just about getting the most comfortable lives for ourselves”

The same exact words resonate in my heart. This email was a good reminder of why I am becoming a doctor and why I want to go back to home, my country to serve!

I LOVE Kluang Project – An Interview with Pastor Jit Pang by Jasmine Yow

November 5th, 2009 » No Comments » CYW BLOGS

A wave of Change has been launched in the little town of Kluang, Johor, as a result of the Change Your World venture that began with Change Your World Quest in August 2009.  The Change Your World Event on 23 August 2009 inspired many youths to start loving their city and nation, and as a result, the I LOVE Kluang project was born.

I caught up with Pastor Jit Pang, the guy behind the I LOVE Kluang initiative today to find out what has been happening in his city, and in this day and age where many of us are simply cynical that our country will ever change, I came away inspired that a bunch of young Malaysians were willing to step out humbly with a heart that said, I will do my part to change the world.

1. Why was I LOVE Kluang started, and what is it about?

It actually started off as the Railway Line Project in April when some youth in the youth group I lead alerted me about a poor family eating only one meal per day. I wanted to love the community in a practical way, so I thought, why not we start feeding the one household we knew?

The next month, we discovered there were families living in a squatter area along the whole Railway Line and low cost housing areas in Kluang that lived in abject poverty, and we quickly multiplied our help to a dozen households.

After the Change Your World Event, a hundred over youths pledged to do something for Malaysia, and we decided to turn this into the I LOVE Kluang project because loving Kluang is exactly what we want to do…. (Click here for more of the interview)
