Good bye Malaysia

We cannot believe that one year has passed since we started out on this most wonderful adventure in Malaysia.

We have been very busy finishing our lessons, meeting with staff and consoling students who did not make the final grade to come to Canada. There were a few students who worked so hard during the year but missed the cut off 80% that their sponsors needed to sent them on scholarships to a Canadian University. These students were heart broken. We are very happy to hear that most of them have been given wonderful educational opportunities in Malaysia that may lead them to Canada or the United States in a couple of years or others who are in wonderful University programs in Malaysian Universities. We wish each of them success.
The Taylor's University College graduation was a lovely affair. There was a great deal of pomp & ceremony that was planned for these very deserving students.

It was extremely difficult to say good bye to the ICPU staff. We had a magnificent time with all of them. They were warm, friendly and very helpful. We miss them dearly. We would have loved to stay for another year to continue to work with them.

On June 13th we were packed and ready to return to our family and home in Bolton, Ontario. They 24 hour flight was long but our excitement about seeing our family sustained us through the hours. Our reunion with our loved ones was beautiful. It was wonderful to hug & kiss each one and know that they were safe and prosperous.

Malaysia, the people, the staff, the students and our travels throughout Asia will forever remain in our memories as one of the best years of our lives. We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to experience this wonderful adventure. It was truly a magical year!
