Great news! Thanks to all who donated (Aunt Beatrice, Uncle Pat, Florence, Cammie, Bruce, Christine, Joe, Benjamin and Laura), I have raised enough to pay off the deposit!! It's not much but at least that's one payment out of the way *celebration dance*
My next goal is to raise another £500 by the 15th of March to pay off the first installment. So I'm doing a lot of convincing and talking!
Another exciting news to share, I just got the detailed itinerary for the whole programme.
Here is the summary:
Days 1-11:
Kuching
- Renovation works
- Teaching English
- Surveying for future ecotourism activities
Days 12-13:
Gunung Mulu National Park
- Learning about BATS!
Days 14-22:
Plantation Village School, Tawau
(will be working with Borneo Child Aid)
- Creating infrastructure in a school
- Help with cooking & after school activities
Days 23-24:
Sepilok Orang Utan Centre
- Reuniting with my distant relatives
Days 25-31:
Lupa Masa Camp, ie the Rainforest
- Learning to survive on basic necessities
Days 32-40:
Mantanani Island
(will be working with Blue Life Eco Services)
- Setting up sustainable fishing methods
- Cleaning up the beach
- Building greenhouses
The only thing that scares me would be the 5 day trekking as I wiill be sleeping in hammocks in the jungle! Daunting but thrilling at the same time.
All in all, the whole plan sounds so exciting and I cannot wait to share this journey with you!
p.s. to all my family and family friends:
All my angpao is still going to this fundraiser!
