Visit from Pak Max and Jueni
We had Pak Max, our newest addition to our Medan team, come up to Banda Aceh with our project manager Jueni for some training and refreshing. They got to see our operations in Banda Aceh and also learn the new computer program.
It was a great time of refreshing for them and a chance for all the team to finally meet up!

Team Retreat - Sabang, 27 - 30 Sept
The team had a great time learning how to snorkel at the Marine Park out at Sabang Island as well as doing some sight seeing around the island.
The guns were donated by the Portuguese Navy and are to commemorate the events from WWII that took place at Sabang, which was occupied by the Japanese some 60 years ago.
We all felt recharged and ready to start the work again after Ramadan.
