Special Edition: Flying the Wau

We were back again to Kampong Mangkok after spending a few days of R&R at Pulau Redang. upon arrival at Pink House, we realized that Abang Lan had finished up with the whole railing for the front porch!

Both railings are online!
Today, we got to try out the wau that we made a few days back. But before that, we need to attach the lines to the wau.

After attaching the lines, it was time to try out our creations!

Ready.. Set..

GO!!!
And finally, after much trying..

Waqiu's wau made it to the sky!!


Sijie's wau soared to the clouds as well!!

We will be departing from Kampong Mangkok and head back to Singapore in a few hours' time. Much has happened within this short span of 2 weeks, and our attachment with the village has grown to a point where we feel like a part of the local community. Despite the urge to stay on longer, we have to go back to our duties and responsibilities in Singapore.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our partners, the Singapore Scouts Association for its support, World Wide Fund for Nature Malaysia for providing the assistance needed to carry out our project, and to the Perwanis for playing host to us and helping us out in many of our requests. 

We would also like to extend our gratitude to our sponsors, Lee Foundation, Tan Chin Tuan Foundation and Henderson Security for their kind support to fund the project. And to Benje Marketing Pte Ltd, for sponsoring their insect repellent products to keep us safe from mozzies and other creepy-crawlies, and for the mosquito patches for the children in the village.

Do stay tuned for more, as there will be updates as well as a post-project event coming up!
