It was a truly an
overwhelming experience exploring Pulau
Aman for its unique culture, nature and biodiversity as well as meeting the
community. It was an awe-inspiring opportunity to be part of the community
development in Pulau Aman. It is hope
that this project will become a stepping stone for ISDEV and IRM in
collaborating into much more projects in the near future.
