THIS SITE gives viewers a glimpse of the beautiful but unsung parts of Malaysia. As a social aid movement, fund generated from activities and adverts helps sustain OO’s operational cost and fund community projects in the Malaysian countryside.

OO is a nominee of 2008's Geotourism Award organized by National Geographic and Ashoka Changemakers. The award identifies and recognises organization that enhances the geographical character of a place: its environment, heritage, culture, aesthetics, and the well-being of its residents.

OO is listed in Hati.org.my, a resource and platform for people and organisations that are involved in community work in Malaysia.

OO is the regional partner of Survival International based in UK, an organisation that helps tribal peoples defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures.

Voluntary simplicity is living a life that is outwardly simple but inwardly rich. With less consumerism lifestyle, our ecological resource suffers less impact.

Advertisers make our mission possible.
