Being a mentor in Malaysia has many duties. Most of them are centered around education (such as mentoring, co-teaching, providing workshops, etc). However, some of the duties of mentors include community outreach and becoming part of their new communities. These duties are aimed at helping the foreign mentor adjust to and enjoy living in Malaysia.

Some of our mentors from Temerloh (Jimmy Ma and Martina Gilmartin) and Maran (Tom James and Sarah Higgs) spent this weekend doing some community outreach with their community this weekend.

These four mentors joined the Temerloh Hash House Harriers and Harriets organization in an inter-Pahang meeting in the Cameron Highlands. The event took place at SJKC Brinchang in the Cameron Highlands. This gave our mentors the opportunity to get closer with their community, visit one of Malaysia's most scenic and historic areas, as well as visit another school.

As you can see from the pictures, the mentors were able to meet a lot of people and had a great time!

On our way to the Cameron Highlands, we made a stop here just outside of Raub. It's durian season in Malaysia. Can you spot the durian in this tree?
