Sarawak's cultural artifacts travel the world. Most are in the collections of those who appreciate the value, as well as the memories associated with them. Iif the family of the collectors do not understand the meaning of the artifacts, some can be seen at car boot or garage sales, hoping the artifacts can go into new 'homes'. I have the opportunity to meet one gentleman who took the trouble to return some artifacts he acquired during his younger years when he served as a volunteer teacher in Three Rivers School in Mukah in early 60's. He intended to repartriate the artifacts so that they will go to where they belong, where they came from.We hope to see these artifacts 'pulang' to where they belong.
