A huge leap forward!

IAPWA Co-founders, Nicky and Lynsey, met with the State Local Government and Housing Minister, Datuk Hajiji Noor during their trip and presented their proposal for a humane solution in dealing with the stray animals. The meeting was extremely positive and Hajiji welcomed our assistance and requested that we conduct a briefing with all of the district council officers throughout Sabah on how to deal with stray animals in a humane way. He said it was important that international bodies point out what needed to be addressed in Sabah to minimise bad reporting of the state in other countries. Details of the meeting made front page news in the Daily Express which highlighted our aims and spread our message throughout the local community. We are in the process of organising the next set of meetings and will keep you updated with our progress.
