Welcome to all the participants!

All the participants have finally arrived and have just completed four days of non stop skills training whilst trying to acclimatise.


Wendy and Nancy went down to the airport with some of the staff to welcome them. However, when they arrived it did take quite a few minutes to reassure them that they had arrived at the right place...and they eventually agreed to get on the bus and head off to jungle camp to meet the Malaysian participants who were already waiting for them there.




This summer we have 5 participants from Bermuda, 13 from Malaysia, a group of 10 from Scotland and another 27 from various parts of the UK.
When they arrived, the participants were split into their project groups and have spent the last four days getting to know each other.





















Each of the groups spent a night in the jungle (some in the rain), to practice their newly acquired skills and to have a taste of what is to come…(without the leeches!) The participants now know where they are going to spend the first phase of the expedition and after the official opening ceremony this evening, will be heading out to all corners of Sabah as dawn breaks tomorrow.
We wish them all the best of luck!
