Keeping Me Safe, Babagon, St.Peter & St.Paul







Dawn breaks, already these ladies:Anne, Amy,and Evelyn are on their way to the village chapel, crossing the wobbly suspended bridge while scratching their mosquito bitten skin. Muddy paths, steep hills, I salute you ladies, and the view is worse at night time. The chapel was a good 15 minutes walk from their homestay, probably 20-30 minutes in the rain..


Nothing I can describe about the sceneries here, just the normal fallen piece of
heaven on earth. The morning mist, the river, the hills,
the buffaloes, the people, not to mention the riped fruits that are everywhere, I had a taste of Babagon's own pineapple, man those things are good. Babagon is one of those forgotten camping spots, that no one wants to mention anymore, paradise right on our own backyard. I sure hope people will forget about this place, so that I can have it all to myself, hehe.

Anne, Amy and Evelyn are those ordinary individuals who are doing extraordinary things for others. In this case, the young generation of Babagon, the three of them came to teach the kids
in this part of Penampang about "keeping me safe".


I won't go into details about this Camp that The Good Shepherd Sisters are organizing, for that you need to find out yourselves thru anne, look her up in facebook, its very easy. Or you can always drop by at the Youth Prep Centre, in Alamesra, the centre is just below the Sabah
Credit Corporation office. There you can get all the infos you need.


What I can say about these events: most of the participants will not go home empty handed, or how the kadazan saying "balik rumah barait penuh" with the same meaning. Barait or in some parts of Sabah Kadazans call Wakid are 'backpacks' made of fine woven rattan. abit of cultural info for you guys, just in case.


The generation of today are developing fast, whether if it towards positivity or negativity, thats another story, Truth is, our younger bros and sis are being fed with information that most of the time are misleading.
Dangerous informations that can turn their lives upside down.. Like it or not, today, it's okay to have sex before getting married, today it's okay to have abortions done. Today, raping children is 'normal'...

I hope those statement disturbed you. If they did, do something...


The kids playing some of their games...
