Opening Ceremony 3

On Friday we had our final opening ceremony - of a library that we've built in a tiny community in the North of Sabah. It was sponsored by HSBC so we took a car full of banking types up there to cut the ribbon. HSBC are the main sponsors of the next expedition here so we need to keep them sweet.

It was pretty amazing to see all the kids in the village pulling the books off the shelves and starting to read them (most of them are illiterate).

Today is the last day of expedition, and all 96 venturers are due back in about an hour!! Can't believe it's over... we've now got 3 days of parties and tearful goodbyes.....
