| Fun day for migrants | 4:53 PM, Oct 30 2008 |

19 October 2008 KAMPAR: Migrant Sunday was celebrated at the Church of the Sacred Heart on Sept 28. The day before, many of the migrants spent the night at the parish hall. After reciting the Rosary, they tucked into Indonesian food, prepared by one of the members. After Mass on Sept 28, 24 migrants together with a few members of the Love squad and PHDC members went on a trip to Sg Klah Hot Water Springs. It was an enjoyable trip for them as they swam, played games and had a really relaxing day. To quote one of them on the journey back, “Today is such a change from our usual routine of work, work, work. We really enjoyed the day and thank you.” It was the same feeling with the others.
