Our first trip for the year to Chagar Hutang was made from 27 Feb – 2 March. This was to check out the monitoring work started in January, to plan renovations to the ladies quarters to accommodate for the increased volunteer intake this year and to see how our outdoors posters (designed by our Canadian volunteers) could be displayed.
We took to the road from 16 – 120th February to visit the Sam Poh Tong and Kek Lok Si Temples in Ipoh and Penang to inventory turtles kept in the temple ponds.
Apologies for my rather long absence from this space. It is not due to the want of activities to report, but rather, its been too many activities keeping us busy all the time.
Goodbye 2008 and Hello 2009!!
I have just returned from Chagar Hutang after an absence of more than 2 months. The days spent (28 Sept – 2 Oct 2008) were action-packed, as always.
I have been away from 14 Aug – 23 September 2008, attending conferences, visiting turtle project sites and giving seminars along the way from Brazil, Nova Scotia in Canada and finally to Arizona in the US.
