| Report | Our group of 17 members went to Pak Chong Thailand and helped in the construction of a single-family dwelling made of interlocking, concrete bricks. This was the fourth such trip for the Keiwa International Volunteers, having started in Fiji, then went to Philippines, and Malaysia last year (2006). One of our members has been on all four projects and several have been on three. For some of our members it was the first time for them to participate in this work and, indeed, the first time to travel abroad. Everyone participated actively and our supervisor told us that we worked faster than any other group he had worked with. In addition to construction work, we also visited a school where our members demonstrated a Japanese dance, getting the pupils to be involved as well. After the general assembly, we all separated and went to each of the different grade's classrooms where we conducted other activities of cultural interest to the students. In our free time on weekends, we had a number of interesting excursions, taking in some ancient ruins, a shopping mall, a silk shop and manufacturing shop and other places of interest. A meaningful time was had by all. |

| Report | We went to the Malaysian island of Borneo to work with the Kuching Affliliate at the Kampong Sigok worksite. We were the first of 3 teams to work on this particular house. Later in the month, teams from Hong Kong and Duabi would arrive. The Habitat carpenter had already put up the roof on the house. We were pleased because we could work in the shade it provided. During our build, we mixed cement, made the floor, and started to make the walls. We had 6 days of building. We did not have an R&R at the end of the build. Instead, we arranged time in between the build to spend one night in an Iban longhouse. It took about 4 hours by bus to get to the longhouse - we then took a 30 minute ride on a longtail boat. At night there was dancing and interactions with the local people. We went for a hike in the jungle and the locals showed us their homemade traps for hunting, how to use a blowpipe for hunting, and how to tap rubber from a tree. We took another day trip to Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and to the Sarawak Cultural Village. On the last day, we visited Limkokwing Institute of Creative Technology and showed the students and faculty there how to drink Japanese tea. We spent about 3 hours there as they had ice breaking games and refreshments for us. Our hotel was fine - the staff were very friendly and the rooms we clean with air conditioning and hot water. |
