During my gap year, I made the decision to devote my time to community and social work, with a hope to make a meaningful impact in the lives of the less fortunate. It was serendipitous that I came across Global Peace Foundation Malaysia, prompting me to take a chance and apply as an associate intern. Now, three months into this journey, I am thankful for the opportunity to grow, serve, and connect with incredible individuals. Despite working remotely, I have immersed myself in the organization’s operations, learning extensively about the Orang Asli community through reports and updates. Witnessing the impact and relief brought to the community has been truly heartwarming.
My time at Global Peace Foundation has not only honed my design and writing skills but has also instilled in me newfound confidence and professionalism when engaging with stakeholders while representing the organization. I firmly believe that these invaluable skills will undoubtedly shape my future, and I owe it all to my exceptional mentors. Thank you, Global Peace Foundation, for embracing me as part of your family. Being a member of your team has been a true privilege, and I am immensely grateful for the experiences I have gained here.
Interning at Global Peace has been an incredible journey of professional growth and personal development. From the moment I planted my first sugarcane at the head office and the first time I stepped into the field office in Muadzam Shah, I was welcomed by a passionate team dedicated to driving positive change. Through my involvement in various initiatives along with the Education, Technical, Chicken farming and Syntropic Farming team, I witnessed firsthand the importance of collective action. The connections I built with the villagers, my fellow interns, and the Global Peace team will forever hold a special place in my heart. This whole experience has not only enriched my understanding of community advocacy but also ignited a lifelong commitment to creating positive change in the world. Thank you, Global Peace, for an exceptional internship experience.
My experience with Global Peace has been truly life-changing and invaluable. Choosing this internship over a substantial amount of money was an easy decision because of the transformative impact it had on me. Previously, I lacked ambition and direction, but now I am driven and goal-oriented, eagerly tackling tasks and responsibilities. This internship has given me a sense of purpose and a newfound understanding of the meaning of life.
As my time in Malaysia comes to a close, I find myself yearning to learn more about Orang Asli communities, diverse cultures, and beyond. Joining Global Peace has been the best decision I’ve ever made, as the experiences and knowledge gained from real-world engagement surpass anything I could have acquired through a computer screen. It’s not always about the money, but the things you learned that are more valuable than a piece of paper (money).
My internship taught me a great deal about the Orang Asli community. While growing up I had limited knowledge and understanding of their way of life.Visiting the kampung and seeing their living conditions gave me a deeper understanding and helped me form a personal connection with the community.
My most cherished experience was the Born To Be program’s Nature Sports Day event, where I saw firsthand the happiness and satisfaction of the children participating in the activities. I also had the chance to immerse myself in the local culture and try unique local foods and activities.
The projects helped me to build self-confidence, giving me courage to take on new challenges, such as overcoming my fear of public speaking and the motivation to push myself beyond my comfort zone and improve my communication skills. I now have a more defined vision of my future career path and feel more confident about what I want to achieve.
Exposure to a different culture and lifestyle can be a healing and life-changing experience. If you are intrigued by the stories of the Orang Asli and wish to immerse yourself in their culture while also giving back, this program is a great option to explore.
It was an invaluable experience interning with Global Peace, and I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of this wonderful team, making meaningful contributions to the Orang Asli communities. It was indeed one of the best decisions I have made, both professionally and personally, as it helped me learn about myself, my personal abilities, and professional skills that I never knew I had. I also met a lot of amazing people here, and I miss all of them!
Being my first official work experience in the non-governmental organisation (NGO) sector, I came in wanting to learn more about the process and planning behind the project implementation of an NGO. Fortunately for me, I leave GPF gaining so much more than just that. I leave as a far more sensitive and aware individual, having been introduced to a whole new world of selfless individuals who devote much time and energy in improving the lives of the Orang Asli community as well as the history, culture, traditions and plight of the Orang Asli community here in Malaysia.

The Orang Asli communities are considered as one of the most underprivileged communities in the country.
