The past few weeks.....

Been very busy the last 2 weeks, especially after the symposium, we met all the people we wanted to meet there and it was a fruitful event for us :) Julian Hyde and of course our friend Zarinah were happy to assist us with reefcheck training. Dr. Jamili (Deputy Director of Sabah Parks) & Dr. Liz (Marine Consrvation Society) were also very supportive with our project. Eric (Treasure Images) gave us some good ideas on how to make our education programme more attractive and it was very nice of him to give us his underwater footage DVD to be used in our programme for the kids :)

Since KK Reef Watch's ultimate goal is to become a Foundation itself to support small local conservation projects, raising fund is a very important skill for us to have. Ken (WWF) will give his support by guiding us on how to go about and raise more money as he's an expert in raising funds, thanks Ken :) After the symposium we met Susan (EPD) as adviced by Datuk Sue and helped us to get in contact with Department of Education.

Salha will be going to Lankayan Island to set up another marine education program starting this mid-february for Reef Guardian. Our first 'I see, I care, I save' program will be held in May, since we're both going to be busy with our day job, we thought maybe it would be a good idea to have an intern to help us out with some of the paperwork and meetings. We are still thinking about it....

KK Reef Watch is now in the process of being registered with ROS (Registrar of Society) and LHDN (Inland Revenue Board).

Thanks again people for your support!
