告别黑暗 At Last, there is Light

Ba Puak 本南长屋居民终于告别黑暗。

Ulu Baram 内陆地区的 Ba Puak 有约20户本南人，多年前从森林迁到此，一直住在非常简陋的破屋，过着原始的生活。最近才获得非政府组织盖了两座长屋，勉强有了家。

长屋没有水电，夜间一片黑暗，蜡烛和手电筒是唯一的光源。

伟庆通过一家公司获得两台发电机，一台送到这里，我们一伙人漏夜和长屋居民，在走廊安装了5盏灯。发电机启动后，长屋终于告别了黑暗！

我们知道，汽油和维修将是个问题，我们会做后续跟进和帮助他。

特此要感谢美里的陈伟庆，萧特财和梁绍钧先生。

About 20 Penan families settled down in Ba Puak in Ulu Baram district some years ago. Initially they stayed in a small huts barely enough for shelter. Until recently they moved into long houses built by NGO but without water and electricity supplies.

The Penans can get the water supply from a river nearby, but at night it is complete darkness.

My friend Tan managed to get 2 electricity generators from a company, one unit was sent here. The Penans were so eager to see light in their long houses that they want us to fix it on the same day when we arrived.

None of us have much knowledge about electricity and wiring works, but we managed to fix it.

At last, there is electric light in the long house!
