Media Here's what Michael Royce, Executive Director, reports from his February 2003 trip to Asia. He traveled to Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines to visit Green Empowerment partners to review the progress of our projects and to investigate potential new endeavors. You can also read the trip report and see photos by Walt Ratterman from Knightsbridge International, who accompanied Michael on the first leg of the trip Dear Friends, This has been a very interesting trip that is now rapidly coming to an end. So I thought I would put down some of the highlights in this brief morning off before some final meetings and my trip home. It seems like each country has had some special visit or experience which was "the best." I have visited 1) Indonesia; 2) Sabah; 3) Negros, an island in the Visayas, Philippines; and now 4) the Davao City area in southeastern Mindanao. It has been very interesting seeing the view of the US and the pending war in Iraq from the standpoint of a part of the world, which in part is Muslim and everywhere will be adversely affected by the war. In Jakarta while we were doing village site visits, tens of thousands demonstrated for peace in Jakarta. The Sabah and Malaysian papers were full of news how a war would impact their economy- decrease tourism, disrupt the world market and transportation system for the textile trade, and generally cause economic chaos. In the Philippines their is growing resistance to American unilateralism. In today's Philippines Enquirer, the banner headline is that "It is Combat, Not Exercise" for Us troops in Basilan and Zamboanga in the Islamic section of Mindanao to the west.

Malaysia Country and Travel Information GENERAL INFORMATION Malaysia is located in the heart of Southeast Asia. Consisting of 127,000 sq. miles (330,200 sq. km), Malaysia is divided into two main regions: Peninsular Malaysia, which lies just south of Thailand, and East Malaysia, which can be found north of Indonesia on the island of Borneo. These two regions are divided into thirteen states and federal territories. Although East Malaysia occupies the larger portion of Malaysia's total area, it is primarily comprised of undeveloped land and jungles. Malaysia is a land of fascinating sights and attractions. Rich in colour and contrasts, her multi-faceted charm provides intriguing images that leave visitors to the country in awe. The natural warmth of Malaysians is legendary; wherever one goes, the friendliness and hospitality of the people would prove to be a very special experience. Malaysia is paradise. Its sun-drenched beaches, enchanting islands, diverse flora and fauna, forest retreats and magnificent mountains are among the best in this region. Many visitors have discovered Malaysia's other attractions: a shopping haven, a versatile conference venue, an incentive destination, an adventure land and much more. WEATHER CONDITIONS With temperature that fluctuates little throughout the year, travel in Malaysia is a pleasure. Average temperature is between 21 to 32 degree celcius. Humidity is high. Rain tends to occur between November to February on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, on western Sarawak, and north-eastern Sabah. On the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia the rainy seasons is April to May and October to November.

Malaysia: Borneo trekking, kinabalu, kota kinabalu, jungle trekking, rainforest adventure, trekking in malaysia, borneo mountain Malaysia's cultures More than fifteen hundred years ago a Malay kingdom in Bujang Valley welcomed traders from China and India. With the arrival of gold and silks, Buddhism and Hinduism also came to Malaysia. A thousand years later, Arab traders arrived in Malacca and brought with them the principles and practices of Islam. By the time the Portuguese arrived in Malaysia, the empire that they encountered was more cosmopolitan than their own. Malaysia's cultural mosaic is marked by many differences, but several in particular have had especially lasting influence on the country. Chief among these is the ancient Malay culture, and the cultures of Malaysia's two most prominent trading partners throughout historythe Chinese, and the Indians. These three groups are joined by a dizzying array of indigenous tribes, many of which live in the forests and coastal areas of Borneo. Although each of these cultures has vigorously maintained its traditions and community structures, they have also blended together to create contemporary Malaysia's uniquely diverse heritage. One example of the complexity with which Malaysia's immigrant populations have contributed to the nation's culture as a whole is the history of Chinese immigrants. The first Chinese to settle in the straits, primarily in and around Malacca, gradually adopted elements of Malaysian culture and intermarried with the Malaysian community. Known as babas and nonyas, they eventually produced a synthetic set of practices, beliefs, and arts, combining Malay and Chinese traditions in such a way as to create a new culture. Later Chinese, coming to exploit the tin and rubber booms, have preserved their culture much more meticulously. A city like Penang, for example, can often give one the impression of being in China rather than in Malaysia.

Kinabatangan River, Home of Borneo's Exotic Wildlife Exotic species abound, including the unique Proboscis Monkey which is found only in Borneo. Over 200 species of birds call this region home as do the endangered Orang Utan, crocodiles and several other species of monkeys. You will also not want to miss the fascinating Gomantong caves, known for the large caverns that are home to the Black Nest Swiftlet, whose nests are collected and sold to be used in the famous Chinese Birds Nest Soup. These nests are collected by the local people from the ceiling of the caves which can reach a height of 90 metres. The caves are a series of complex tributaries and chambers which also house an estimated 2 million bats. It is quite a site to see them leave the cave at dusk to begin feeding on the plentiful insects of the jungle. Gomantong is one of the most unique cave systems of the world and one of the highlights in any of our Eco Tours.

The immense Sahara acts as a natural barrier, separating African cultures to the north from those to the south. Although there has always been some intermingling of peoples on the two sides of the Sahara, differences in history and culture are pronounced. This article primarily discusses the art created south of the Sahara, a region known as sub-Saharan Africa. For information on the art of northern Africa, see Islamic Art and Architecture; Egyptian Art and Architecture; and Coptic Art and Architecture. The history of African art and architecture spans a vast period, beginning as early as 25,500

It is most especially this undeniable presence of religious diversity which motivates the task of inter-faith dialogue and which led to the setting-up of the Inter Faith Network for the UK. The Cambridge Inter Faith Group, meeting monthly at Wesley Church, is a member organisation of this national body. So what is inter-faith dialogue? Put very simply there are two basic approaches which may be adopted by religious people in their relationships with each other, either individually or communally. The first is an exclusivism which effectively shuts the door to neighbourly contact. This is a sectarian reaction. It may be held through fear of the strange or, for example, be the position of those who are convinced that, since their own beliefs and practices alone enshrine the Truth, there is no need to listen to or learn from other religious traditions. In this case contact, if it happens at all, may be limited to the attempt to convert their adherents from error. The alternative to such a closed solution is characterised not simply by a passive tolerance of others' beliefs or ways of living, but by an active attempt both to be in contact with people of other religions and to begin and sustain dialogue with them.
