Stephen’s Farewell Party

About us

Category: Orangutan Foundation Staff, Uncategorized | Date: Apr 21 2009 | By: orangutanfoundation

We held Stephen’s farewell party on Saturday night, and various representatives from local NGOs and government stood up and described how much they enjoyed working with Stephen over the past years, and also what they’ve learnt from him. Stephen tried to hide a tear or two, but we noticed

Bye Stephen and good luck, I’ll miss your stories and blog posts, they were always very interesting and fun to read. Whatever you do next I’m sure you’ll do it with as much passion and enthusiasm as you did with the Orangutan Foundation and it really did show through the blog and your writing. Good luck
