CHECK OUT PAST VOLUNTEERS! NAME: MOHD SYAFIQ BIN ZAMRI � I changed, I became a different person from before. I met a lot of people, different kind of people to work with and I learnt how to think from their perspective on what we can do, what we can't what are their common behavior and stuff. Now I see the world as a developing and repairing entity. Even though there's a lot of wars and others problem such as political, pollution, poverty and even low literacy issue, I still can see the light from youths such as from AIESEC organization to change the world. I love to say this 'If you want to change the world, you can start from your self.' �
