A Heartfelt Appreciation to Michelle Fong

After 16 years of dedicated service with UNHCR Malaysia, we extend our deepest gratitude to Michelle Fong for her invaluable contribution to the protection of communities, especially in the areas of Child Protection and Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

Throughout the years, MEWRO has greatly benefited from her guidance, expertise, vision, and strategic planning. Her strong leadership, professionalism, and deep understanding of field realities have made a lasting impact on our work and on the lives of many in the community.

On 22nd April, we also had the meaningful opportunity to share a meal with her, a moment of appreciation, reflection, and gratitude for her journey and continued support.

We sincerely thank Michelle for her years of collaboration, trust, and mentorship. She will be deeply missed, and we wish her all the very best in her future journey. 🌿

Pause, Reflect, Recharge

On 25th February 2026, 10 Executive Committee members of MEWRO gathered at the Lisu Refugee Committee (LRC) for a meaningful Well-Being Retreat.

As leaders representing our respective CBOs and communities, we carry many responsibilities. This retreat created a safe and supportive space to pause and reflect:

💭 What is making me tired?
💛 What do I need at this moment?
🌸 How am I feeling right now?

Through open sharing, relaxation moments, and light snacks, we reconnected with ourselves and with one another.

Caring for our well-being strengthens our leadership and our commitment to the communities we serve.

Special thanks to the Lisu Refugee Committee (LRC) for generously sharing your space and partnership.
