ATC Serian-Bukar Sadong organized a blood donation drive at Dewan Masyarakat Kg. Triboh. Many non- Bahá’ís participated and we donated about 23 pints. The Bahá’ís from Mujat, Serian Town,Triboh, Remun and Belimbing participated.

From 17 till 27 November, Auxiliary Board Member Mr. Bunsie Tunton made a ten-day trip to the northern region by driving the family van all the way to Rh. Ansok, Sg. Kelabit in the Bakong area. He was accompanied by wife Bari and their three children. For Bari it was more like a happy reunion after a long separation. In her report about the trip, Bari wrote that their visit coincided with the Reflection Meetings organised by the Area Teaching Committees. At Rh. Ansok, representatives from ten communities in the Bakong-Tinjar Cluster attended the reflection meeting held on 19 Nov. The friends studied the 26 Nov 2001 document from the International Teaching Centre and the 2002 Ridvan Message.

Friends, the NBYC of Sarawak is working on a big programme for the upcoming school holiday. There will be Ruhi courses for youths all over Sarawak. We know that our youth do not have much money so the plan is to allow them to attend the courses in their own communities in rural areas. The NBYC has discussed with ATCs in several clusters regarding the programme. Clusters that have confirmed they will be organising a programme are Serian, Lundu, Sebuyau and Simunjan. We are contacting ATCs in other clusters such as Sibu, Niah, Bakong and Limbang to study how we can collaborate.

91 believers of all ages turned up for the cluster reflection meeting held on 28 September 2003 at Kampung Mayang Tea. This is the first time we have a good turn up for the cluster meeting and every community present took part actively in the meeting. We registered 44 people pledging to organize devotional meetings in their homes once a week and go up to higher level of institute courses within the period of three months.
