2009 here we come!

I am so excited about this upcoming season on board the Indo Jiwa in Nias and the Banyak Islands! We are currently designing our Holidays with Purpose programmes for this year and there is so much to look forward to. We are planning on running home health and first aid courses for village women; organic gardening workshops; spend more time in the Orphanage ( Pondok Rahmat) in Nias as well as continue with our Coconut Kids clubs, canoe building and coconut oil production. Our relationships with the communities will deepen as we discover the unique ways in which each of our groups can work together to improve their living situations. We are also looking forward to those long tropical days, full of fun and adventure....then watching the sun set over the ocean, enjoying a meal and sharing stories....looking forward to seeing you there!
