18.3.09-School Holiday SKYTREX ADVENTURE outing
10 RPX lads had an adventurous and exciting 1st term school holiday as they were so fortunate to be invited to the SKYTREX Adventure on Wednesday 18.3.2009. The SKYTREX ADVENTURES provides an organized outdoor ‘eco-recreational cum educational’ activity which will take the participants from tree to tree via a series of aerial obstacles suspended at 3 meters to 22 meters in the air.
The first of its kind in Malaysia, SKYTREX Adventure (www.skytrec-adventure.com) is located within the Taman Pertanian site in Shah Alam. It is a place where you can enjoy jungle trekking from a height never reached before – via a long tree climb, test your agility, challenge your fear, walk, crawl, glide and swing through their different challenges in the sky, in total safety while appreciating the wonders of the Malaysian Tropical Rain Forest.
All 10 lads, our French MEP Volunteer and also the Home Administrator successfully completed the course and were overjoyed to be able to experience this rare feat.
As personal safety was paramount, clear instructions were given by our host and instructor Mr Julien Repellin who is the also the Director of SKYTREX SDN BHD. The lads were first taught how to harness themselves and then how to use the pulley and the carabineeries be hook correctly onto the thick wires used throughout the course. Then the lads underwent the first set of obstacles which enabled them to put into practice all the safety requirements that they have learned. Only then were they allowed to proceed to the next higher level which also meant that they would have become so motivated that they want only to go forward to the other more challenging obstacles with the main objective of completing it and not to capitulate.
After the lads came back to RPX and were shown the photos taken, they were also asked to recognize the various aspects of their successful tree high adventure which have a parallel with the efforts in helping them to develop a positive character as they give their all to better their studies. As was explained it boils down to them having a goal, being attentive, be committed, be hands on, practice more to be perfect and enjoy the tasks ahead.
There are many people to thank for making this outing possible. For so kindly hosting the lads and providing the necessary logistics, we wish to record our sincere thanks to Mr Julien Repellin, Mr Jean Pierre and Mr Ho Fatt. We also wish to thank Mr Pierre Antoine Joly, our MEP Volunteer who have helped to introduce RPX to members of his French community present in Kuala Lumpur/PJ.
