First Wave !

Dear visitors !

The fabulous and fresh new team of international interns from Korea, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and the UK are proud to welcome you the HOPE Project for the months of July and August 08-09 !!!

We have been adapting to Malaysian lifestyle and very much enjoying the weather, the food and the smiley locals! Last week was our first training by other international students who have been running workshops on HIV/AIDS before us. They were really friendly and their training was very informative and useful as they managed to keep it informal but relevant. We also met two Dutch Ambassadors, Rutger and Nard, who are awesome. They gave us training on personal goal-setting and marketing.

Yesterday was another big day for us as we had our first meeting with everyone split into different groups to contact the schools. We’ve got a massive list of more than 200 schools!! The plan is to get in touch with as many of them as possible between now and Monday, when we’ll meet up again.

We will keep you updated on our progress.

Watch this space.

Much HOPEfull love
