Kg.Toboon is a very small isolated village with a population of about 200. It is located in Ulu Kimanis, 75 kms from Kota kinabalu. I visited this village on Wednesday to witness the officiating of the Gravity water supply ceremony. This project was a joint effort between the Lions Clubs International Foundation of Ichinomiya Higashi, Japan and the Lions Club of Kota kinabalu. The completion of piping to the villagers' homes has ended their hardship of carrying water from the nearby river for consumption for the past 60 years or so. 
To get to this kampung, we had to drive through a 2kms gravel road. 
The ceremony was attended by some 60 + "lions"
Kampung folks welcoming them with their traditional "gongs". 
A buffet lunch "Kampung" style.
I went around the kampung and saw this river. It has crystal clean water running. There are not many of such rivers left in Sabah. Most of the rivers are muddy because of excessive logging. 
It is an ideal place for an outdoor get-away - to enjoy the nature or perhaps a good picnic.
