167. And....Award goes to.......

The institute gave an award to one group as the best product.
This year, it went to Group 2!!

Of course, the efforts shown by the other groups were to be admired, we all know.


I hope the new participants in our institute to be more motivated in environment conservation.

161. Bon Voyage! 再見！

The participants of IEC Training Course completed, and left here today.
The evaluation meeting was almost smooth, thanks to the participants.


When I got to their dormitory to see them off, I was pleasantly surprised to meet two participants from 07dvp, namely Erik and Dayza. I appreciate their way to show "Ichariba Chode" spirit.
We all know the difficulty the participants will face in China, but nothing can be improved without effort.
Good luck on everything you will do!
