Visiting a kampong* near the hospital (Keningau Cottage Hospital), Borneo

“The babies always smelt dusty. The lady stood beside me is Gloria Waters, who was a VSO with her husband, who was something to do with the water industry. The natives always respected you, both in Borneo and in the Solomon’s. We were always treated well”.
