CHUKAI, KEMAMAN, Malaysia (NNS) -- Students from a Malaysian elementary school laughed and played games with U.S. Navy and Coast Guard personnel during a Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) 2008 community relations project July 9.

Delivering 30 soccer balls, volleyballs and basketballs, personnel from USS Tortuga (LSD 46), USS Jarrett (FFG 33), USS Ford (FFG 54) and USCGC Morgenthau (WHEC 722) engaged in a morning of sports activities with some of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kijal Elementary's 953 students. Project Handclasp supplied all the sporting goods.

"These kids aren't as privileged as us, so it's good for them that we come out and play with them," said Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Andre Batts of Tortuga. "It's also good for us."

U.S. Sailors and Coast Guardsmen, along with Royal Malaysian Sailors assigned to the corvette KD Lekir (F 26), joined forces to challenge the school's soccer team to a game. The students, ranging in ages from 11 to 12, used the game as practice for an upcoming Malaysian national match where they will represent the state of Terengganu.

The children trounced the military personnel 5-1.

"I love being out here, I love doing volunteer work, anything that makes a difference in their lives and makes a positive impression," said Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Dorcus Mitchell of Tortuga. "Some of the kids are kind of shy, but when you show them it's okay, they break loose a little bit."

In addition to the sporting goods, the U.S. delivered a pallet of hygiene supplies to the school.

Concurrent civil action projects also brought free medical and dental attention to the same site, while Seabees worked to build additional facilities for the school.

Capt. Mohd Izani of the Royal Malaysian Army Religious Corps noted that the local community appreciated the humanitarian and athletic events.

"This is their first time seeing people from the U.S., and they can say, 'Oh, this is the U.S., this is the Navy,'" Izani said.

CARAT is an annual series of bilateral maritime training exercises between the United States and six Southeast Asia nations designed to build relationships and enhance operational readiness.
