From Kenong To Raub

From the jungles of Kenong to the charming small town of Raub, last year the Star Brats Year End programme was a memorable one for the participants.

The jungle itself had its charm of course. It was not just the usual camping and campfire sort of stuff. It has got to be more exciting than that. So they got down and dirty in waist length deep water hunting for frogs after dusk. Along the way we also got to see a 10 feet long cave racer perching menacingly on the cave rocks. Among other things, we immersed them in several jungle survival skill scenarios where they had to build shelter, fire and perform first aid on injured victims.

Our short visit to Raub town was a gastronomic discovery of small town delicacies. From the fruit orchards to the factories to the quaint coffeeshops strewn along the main road in the town. The participants also learned about the people behind the scenes - the owners of the shops, food factories and orchard. Learning about them makes this small town all the more interesting - that there is so much more about their lives and it is not just about what is served on the table.
