INTI x Hopes Malaysia: Sustainable Farming Empowerment Volunteering Visit

INTI College Sabah, in collaboration with Hopes Malaysia, successfully organised the Sustainable Farming Empowerment Volunteering Visit at Kampung Bokilong, Kadamaian, Kota Belud, on 23 June 2026.

The visit aimed to support and engage with the local community while providing volunteers with a meaningful opportunity to experience rural life and sustainable farming practices firsthand. Throughout the programme, participants interacted with villagers during a meet-and-greet session, fostering connections and gaining insights into the community’s way of life, culture, and agricultural activities.

Volunteers were also given the opportunity to participate in farming activities, allowing them to gain valuable insights into traditional farming methods and understand the importance of sustainable agriculture. One of the highlights of the visit was the harvesting experience, where participants worked alongside villagers and experienced the rewarding process of harvesting fresh produce.

The villagers warmly welcomed the volunteers and generously hosted a traditional lunch featuring local Sabahan cuisine, allowing participants to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the Kadamaian community.

The programme served as a meaningful platform for community engagement, cultural exchange, and experiential learning. Through this initiative, INTI College Sabah and Hopes Malaysia continue to promote volunteerism, sustainability, and social responsibility while strengthening relationships with local communities.
