Arriving into the Arkitrek office on my first day I really had no idea of the technical challenges confronting me during my internship in Sabah. After the initial briefing I was presented with the impossible Mantanani Kindergarten construction task. Story by Arkitrek volunteer Nick Nearchou, a graduate from Bath University School of Engineering

Arkitrek’s Ian Hall will be talking to the Sabah Society on 4th January about ‘Green Building; Mantanani Style’

battling severe weather, Arkitrekkers Tan Zhen Ron and Nick Nearchou oversee the successfull raising of the roof on Mantanani Kindergarten. This landmark stage in the project was enabled by volunteers from Chevaliar College, New South Wales and as always, the whole construction operation is propped up with lashings of wry humour and hard work from Albi, Hashim and Jai of Camp Mantanani

In which we thank Huddersfield University student Michell Martin for her contribution to the Arkitrek Volunteer Program, specifically the design and build of the Mantanani Kindergarten

Eoghan Hoare, a student at Dundee University, was the first Arkitrek Volunteer to be placed with our partner Camps International in Borneo. He became an unwitting ambassador for Co Cork – Kudat international relations, helped no doubt by the fact that he learned not to say no. Allow Eoghan to explain.
