KUCHING, Sept 15: Registration for the first Virtual International Youth Communication Camp organised by the Kuching Toastmasters Club is now open to Malaysians and youth from abroad.

The one-day camp which is scheduled for October 9, is an offshoot of the club’s annual series, first initiated in 2012 and put on hold for the past two years due to the haze and the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Previous camps, covering Speech Writing and Presentation, Team Building and Talents Showcasing were held over three days and two nights in face-to-face environments.
