Visit Lombok, Indonesia

In February 2011, I visited Lombok, Indonesia, to recce for possible community projects for the local community; to meet with local staff to discuss scope of projects and make necessary arrangements to accomodation for future trips.
We visited Lebuan Pandan and viewed a demonstration farm plot which is experimenting drip irrigation farming.






























Next, we visited  Rembitan where a Sasak couple who provides Batik making skills training for young people in an Art Gallery. We discussed possible projects such as building vats for dyeing and washing of batik and teaching of conversational English.















Finally we visited Senaru to discussed possible projects in surrounding villages including building of volleyball court, particiapting in a biogas project and accomodation at a traditional house.
