In early 2017, I wanted to connect students in Malaysia & the US to help make learning English more relevant to young Malaysians & share the wonders of multiculturalism in my moderate-Muslim-majority country with young people in the US. I considered all of the barriers for such an undertaking & figured that the best way to do this was to run a video exchange project targeting teachers as they would be able to provide mentorship & support to their students. First, let me congratulate SMK St Thomas (Cikgu Khor), SMK Batu Lintang ( Cikgu Ho ), Youth Guidance (Mr Oommen), & Operation Breakthrough (Mr Rowles) for completing the project! In this blog post, I will share publicly available pictures & videos from the participants as well as what I have learned as the coordinator of the project.
