Photos + personal stories
You will receive eight chosen photos showing special moments of our project - with personal notes written on the back of the photos. Again these photos will show our time on the containership and in the rainforest, working there and living with the indigenous communities. The personal notes perhaps will give you an insight into the background story of each one of the photos.

Local souvenir
You will receive a local souvenir from one of our project locations, which is handcrafted by local communities. We will make sure that our souvenirs are unique and support the local communities. For example, the Penan in Borneo make wonderful backpacks out of rattan (a palm tree). There are many other handicrafts also from Laos and Malaysia, so it will be a surprise!
