Our Past Intern Diaries
INTERN 01
3-4 buckets of water, is it enough?
In 2015, three social science students from UNIMAS did their internship with us. They spent three months in Long Jaik. Here were some pictures that they took.
INTERN 02
We can do this!
Our intern was tasked to write everyday during their three-months internship. Here’s an excerpt from her journal:
“20/9/2016 Thursday. Pagi tadi saya tidak mandi sebab sangat sejuk. Malam pun sangat sejuk walaupun kampung tiada elektrik. Hari ini kami mengikut orang tanam padi. Orang kampung berduruk bersama-sama. Lelaki ‘nugal’ dan perempuan ‘nenih’.”
INTERN 03
We survived!!
In 2016, we sent two UNIMAS student for an internship to Long Palai. Here’s what written in one of our intern’s journal:
“18/8/2016. We went to Apdon’s house and met with Ukun Kuleh and family. They greeted us with opened arms. Ukun Kuleh showed his masterpiece of wooden birds and dried bird’s head and legs. “
INTERN 04
We nailed it!
As our intern spent three months in Long Jaik, they learn a thing or two about the culture and customs of the villagers. In our intern’s journal, she wrote about Pantang of Penans.
“The sound of a bird, U’at, is one of the most scary sound for them. it is actually a type of owl and it sounds similar to a puppy. To them, this bird signifies there is a tiger behind as it always fly in front of the harimau.”

INTERN 06
Where is everybody?
Excerpt written by our intern in their journal:
“It was pouring rain today. So cold. The water was ice-cold than the usual but still the view of the foggy forest was majestic this moment. It rained the whole day and so the road was all muddy”
Photo was taken by our interns during their internship in Long Lawen in 2018.
INTERN 07
How do I do this food intake survey?
