Summer 2009 kicks off with Project Malaysia
And we're off! The start of Project Malaysia on May 30, 2009 marks the beginning of a series of 8 SEALNet projects this summer. Project Malaysia, organized in partnership with the Malaysian Nature Society and the Kuala Selangor Nature Park, seeks to develop a community of local service leaders who will champion the cause of the environment. For more updates on the project, check on Jing's blog (Project Leader of Project Malaysia). Preparing for Summer 2009!
Our project leaders are currently evaluating project applications to our summer service leadership projects. Each of our 8 teams will be composed of roughly 15 university students from around the world. Please review the projects planned for this summer.
We are also very excited to know that one of our high school student groups in Southeast Asia, the University of the Philippines High School Cebu Student Council - Cebu City has won the TAYO Award for one of the ten most accomplished youth organizations in the Philippines from the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Congrats to all the high school mentees and SEALNet leaders, participants, sponsors, and friends!
