Date:          Tuesday 26 March 2019

Venue :     Islamic Information Centre (Lower Baruk)
                 Jalan Ong Tiang Swee (behind Swinburne University)

 Presenters
Daniel Kong and Rose Au are both long-time members of MNS Kuching Branch .When there was a call for volunteers to take on the task of surveying the waterbirds  of Sarawak a few years ago,  they came forward to help. The survey took more than a year.
It has been an adventurous experience they will always remember-the many long miles of walking along the coastlines in the hot sun, the lovely coastal people they met and lots of home-cooked  fresh seafood had made it all worth it.
