OB Sabah brings smile to the children

This event was organised by Outward Bound Sabah (OBS) before the staff went for a break late last year! I thought it would be wonderful to write something about this event as OBS intends to organize another one this year and maybe much bigger scale!

Twenty children from Kinarut area were sponsored by OBS to attend this awesome party. A lots of games and gifts were presented to the children. The event started at 3 pm and finished at 7pm just right after sunset. 

   
The event were supposed to be held at OBS beach but due to rain, we have to transfer everything to the boathouse. OBS Executive Director Datuk Gabriel William was present to present the gifts to the children.

It is great to see the smiles of the children as they played with "newly found friend". Their parents watched from the corner thinking what a wonderful world it is to have a genuine friendship among people.

OB Sabah welcomes group from Hong Kong

Hello and how are you all? It is the new beginning of another journey for OB Sabah. Last year was a year to remember for OB Sabah as we surpassed the 28th year of existence. As  an independent organisation, it is probably a good thing because we can have a lots of freedom to steer our direction.

The operations at OB Sabah reopens soon after the new year celebration. About 20 youths from Hong Kong Baptist University attended a 4 day adventure leadership program. Their program never missed out going into the rain forest of Borneo! Perhaps this is one of our main attraction for international clients to come to OB Sabah apart from our friendly and well trained staff.

This year OB Sabah plans to implement various strategies to improve the centre's facilities. No doubt that without financial backing from anybody, it is extremely difficult to raised the funds for capital improvement as the revenue is hardly enough to cover the operations cost. 

Our commitment to the local students and youths remains priority as we continue to offer a highly subsidized rate for them. Many schools have started booking their programme with us as programme from overseas are also starting to fill our small capacity. All the best OBS!
