  Descrição

  Hey there! As a marine engineer sailing the seas, I'm thrilled to share my latest project with you: building a cozy house with a small boat repair workshop. But here's the best part - it's not just for me, it's also to lend a helping hand to the amazing fishermen community in Batu Pahat!
  
  Nestled by the picturesque Malacca Strait, this village is craving a proper boat repair spot. Sadly, fishermen often get the short end of the stick from the maritime industry. But fear not, together we can change that narrative!
  
  So, how can you help? Well, I'm offering free accommodation, plus the chance to swap languages and share cultures. And while I can't promise meals, trust me, you'll be welcomed with open arms by the wonderfully generous locals.
  
  Join me on this adventure, and let's make waves in supporting our fishermen friends and brightening up Batu Pahat together!

  As I am building a workshop to help the fishermen community. Any kind of help is needed even though you are not skilled. Cleaning the area and cooking for us is considered a help.
  
  If you are handy and know diy stuff will be very much appreciated and will be prioritized.
  
  When i am around, we will improve the workshop facility and do most of the boat project.
