Another milestone in PRS




With the counsellors and PRS at the sale of my books desk during the seminar in Unisza 110311













With PRS of UMT and Unisza. Women's power!! 110311










It's gratifying to know that Program Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya(PRS) is gaining momentum again in our school system and in institutions of higher learning. The link in Facebook gave me insight of PRS activities in certain schools and the challenges faced by the counsellors. It's heartening to learn that many counsellors are really involved and interested in the growth of these young people. Thank you.
I was honoured to be invited to talk about the historical development of the program to a group of PRS of Universiti Malaysia Terengganu and Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin in Kuala Trengganu. I hope these young people will remember how the program came into existence and the people behind it who gave me much support. Though I am acknowledged as the founder of the program, I wanted them to know that I was not alone and that without the support of people who mattered, the program might not get the platform it deserved. Those people will not be forgotten and I owe them much gratitude for supporting me. My handouts and talks and my books will testify to this when I am not around anymore.
Thank you to Puan Rosni of Unisza for organising the seminar and for inviting me. The irony is that, I should be talking too to all counsellors and trainers of the program but have not the opportunity to do so. They are the ones who should know how this program comes into existence so that it can be conveyed to their PRS.
Before I retired, I made a promise that I would go, if invited, anywhere for program PRS and so far I have kept my promise though I have stopped getting involved in the training programs. Program will always be in my heart and I will always be proud that in some way I have contributed to some aspects of growth and development of young people in our beloved country.
To all PRS, no matter where you are or what name you use, my warmest regards and wish you with success in your life.
