Kyalie's at Bethany Home

Kyalie (from NSW) has arrived at Bethany Home to begin a 3 month placement. Bethany Home in Malaysia is a centre from children and young people with physical and intellectual disabilities. She will contribute really well, especially since she can speak some Malay words with the children.

Kyalie joins 3 Australian volunteers - Jess (from SA), Rex and Myra, and 2 German volunteers: Daniel and Julia. Three new volunteers from Finland will start by the end of August, and 1 German and 2 Swedish volunteers in September. So Kyalie will be exposed to not only the multicultural people of Malaysia but also the international community of volunteers in Bethany Home. It will be an enriching experience for her and for the other volunteers as well.
