Mama @ Work: Water Water Everywhere....

I'm so happy that my Mama and her team have delivered another portion of their water and sanitation project. It would mean less time spent elsewhere and more time spent with me....errr....not quite but that's not the point.

What I'd like to say is that about 3,000 inhabitants of an island in Sabah are now enjoying the fruits of Mama's labour, first, in the form of clean drinkable water, second, modern latrines and third, electricity from solar power. The project was featured in The Star where the reporter also interviewed Mama. The scanned pages are as the following.




Happy moment for Mama (& gang) on  project delivery day.
The children can now enjoy going to the toilets!
Solar is power....for the children....!
Completion of the project, however, doesn't mean that Mama will stop visiting the island as "we will continue with the upkeep and maintenance for at least another three years," she said. Hmmm...does that mean we'll relocate there, Mama?

At present, Mama is working hard to convince some corporate sponsors to fund several additional projects that will benefit the islanders in the long run. Among them, skills training for the young people and income generation for the families.

Angelina's note: Will I achieve my dream of becoming an island cat? purrr....meow!

Hibernate No More!

One.....(still zzzzz.....)
Two.....(half awake)
....and Three....(fully awake!)
Angelina's note: As you can see, I'm done with hibernating as it is now officially spring in Australia. Not that it matters now that I live in the Northern Hemisphere, am still a Down Under-er at heart. 
First things first: what's this I hear about a certain AmeriCat called Katie voted as Ruler of The World? And MY Brad Pitt having the hots for her? On top of that, William had the cheek to bring his Kate visit MY country while I hibernate? 
As of now, call me Most High Empress Angelina the Dictator. Need to put my paws down on stuffs. purrrr....meow!
