Venue: Kg. Jabang, Seria
Time: 2.15pm
This afternoon we visited the house of a 66 years old converts, Dyg. Hasnah bte Abdullah. This is another story that's shed tears in our eyes. Her husband passed away a month ago and she has no children or relatives. Currently, living in a run down house in the middle of an illegal squatter area in Kg. Jabang, Seria which she called home. The house has no electricity or water supply.
In order to support herself, she works as a cleaner (7 days a week) at Gerai Salera, Seria with a small salary of B$10/day. With no fixed income and no support from family ,gov't agencies or NGOs, she has to live 'on' what she has.
