Project Coast2Coast, under the umbrella of the Ayer Rajah-West Coast Citizens' Consultative Committee (AR-WC CCC), was initiated in January 2005, shortly after the tsunami. It was a community-based overseas humanitarian expedition programme aimed at providing good overseas learning opportunities to local volunteers so as to inculcate in them a sense of public spiritedness, global social responsibility and also to enhance their inter-personal, project management and leadership skills.
