Maiden camp at KKB site
The 25 participants of Sabha’s first
camp at the Kuala Kubu Bharu
(KKB) site for the International
Sikh Centre made history. The
participants of the Sikh Explorer
Camp set foot at the campsite on
June 23, 2012. A small step for the

Malaysia.
Back in 1963, something similar
took place. Then, some senior
Panthic sewadars had organised

This camp was facilitated by the
InSPiRE Team who brought in
their two versatile trainers,
Rajinder Singh and Perthpal
Singh. They took the participants
through various experiential
learning activities that kept them
enthralled throughout both days.
The Sabha exco was represented
by Jathedar Amarjit Singh, Meet
Jathedar Jagdev Singh and exco
members Habhajan Singh and
Simret Singh.
