We all had an absolute wonderful time at TAC last week, and I’m already looking forward to next year. I was so impressed with the facilities, the program, the catering, but, most of all, you guys as instructors. You were so much fun, built a great rapport with the pupils in such a short space of time, and everything was organised so efficiently and safely. We really look forward to bringing the next Year 4 group next year.

I just wanted to drop a quick email to say how utterly impressed we were this week. The team on the ground worked relentlessly to ensure the group had a fantastic time. The project was well planned, achievable and safety was clearly paramount at all times. You are clearly all complete naturals with managing students of this age. The group adored and respected you all. We shared the flight home tonight with another group from the school and it was really lovely to hear our group bragging about how amazing they felt the trip was. This really is down to you guys. Thank you so much!

2019 ABILITY EXPERIENCES
OCTOBER. As we enter the final quarter of the year we should be starting our final busy phase of school expeditions for the year. Alas it has been a very different 2020 for us as for most people around the world. It has been a very challenging time for us since March as we have not been able to do what we do best; organizing educational expeditions to Borneo for students and youth groups.
UWCSEA Year 9 Bio Diversity & Conservation Expedition: Kinabatangan, Borneo.
The geo region that hosts this program is the Sg. Kinabatangan, and specifically Batu Puteh (this is the closest marker that is available on any map for DGFC - Danau Girang Field Centre), KOPEL (the community cooperative eco-tourism project and Sepilok, home of the Orangutan and Sun bear rehabilitation centers. All three of these form the basis of this incredible expedition. The Kinabatangan is Malaysia’s second longest river, its source is the Mountains of South Western Sabah and it flows then 560 KM to its mouth and out into the Sulu Sea at Sandakan.
South Island School - Hong Kong
September 2017
Ability Expeditions once again welcomed South Island School, Hong Kong on a 7 day long Service Adventure Week. Despite arriving late and waking up early the next day, their energy did not waver! The twelve 15-16 year old students excelled!
The first three days of the expedition lead the students to Sekolah Rangalau Lama and through the service portion of the week. Day one commenced with some weary eyes, but strong hearts. The team quickly got to grips with the tasks and fought through their need for slumber and by far exceeded all expectations! Creating not only a concrete walk path for the school, but doing it to a truly professional standard!
