Big shout out to Sheila and her people for the job they are doing. Amazing!!!

The above photos shows various people benefitting from the money we collected this year. It is truly heart warming to see that we can make a little difference for some people in the community where we play our ARB tournaments.
A warm thank you to Sheila and her team for a the fantastic job they do for the less fortunate people in Langkawi.
