Welcome to our new staff!

We would like to give a very warm welcome to our three new staff members who arrived today and who will be with us now until the end of the programme.
Miriam Bord, a medic from the UK arrived this morning, followed a couple of hours later by two unannounced and rather unexpected Americans – Nancy Pants and Wendy Bond.
Whilst Miriam was settling in, Nancy and Wendy made themselves at home on the verandah and spent most of the afternoon telling anyone who would listen about their lives back home in Datona Beach.
“Our flight over, you know like, was so long, but you know like really long, like you know, not short at all, ever so long” informed Wendy when asked about the journey over here. “We were in first class though, so it didn’t matter too much, but it was really long and we couldn’t get out,” added Nancy when she was able to butt in.
Coming from very different backgrounds, Nancy a dolphin trainer and Wendy a trainee taxidermist, they told of their “hearts bleeding” when they heard that there were villages in Borneo without cable tv. To this end they have brought with them enough cable to supply every household in the Malaysian state of Sabah with the 487 channels they feel is a basic human right.
“We have just come here to help, to help the children and really help them any way we can”, said Nancy with tears forming in her eyes. “We just want everyone to be given the same chance that we had when we were growing up”.
They left field base shortly after 5pm to go and speak to the Manager of Macdonalds in Kota Kinabalu. They mentioned something about the supersize portions they were given at lunch not being up to standard and they had to rectify this before an outbreak of malnutrition hit the city.
