This
is a project that is very dear to me and I would love for anyone to
share this. Forgotten Children of Lombok: These are photos taken over
the last 2 weeks & we are digging up a lot of really sick children
who have never seen doctors and are
working on government paths to get them to government doctors, some
sadly may not be able to be helped - but my goal is that they should not
pass hungry or in pain. These kids and their mums and dads are the
poorest of the poor and I am setting up $28 monthly food parcels or
'less than a dollar a day type funding for a years trial. $28 buys a
huge food parcel that includes a gas bottle for cooking. The food, soap,
gas etc is delivered monthly to them for free on a small truck by some
very very caring Indonesian young people so we can get 100% of funding
to our children. Thanks to new technology & face book we can also
create a very transparent feed back loop with photos, videos, messages
etc of their activity so that donor's can get monthly thank you's &
feed back. One of my past problems has been that in sending a $28 per
month donation had a bank transfer fee of $25 leaving just $3 - I will
soon have our trust set up and we will be able to send blocks of
donations across which attract a only one off $25 fee for all. Love to
hear from anybody or work groups who would like to trial this for a year
with our new organisation. The last photo came in 40 minutes ago which
has prompted my post. Message me here on FB or email petehoney@gmail.com
Thank you

NEVER SEEN A DOCTOR
Discovered yesterday.
Our new NPO Projects.org manager - Michael arrived ahead of me a month
ago and found Sasha yesterday. While working on our Outbound Rinjani,
Gili T Base, Blind Orphanage, Pira & Sumbawa and our many
other projects, he has discovered many kids who are in similar or worse
situations as Sasha who's parents are too poor to see a doctor. At last
I am off in 1 week for 3 months to set up our bases.
in time we will soon have accommodation for you or friendswho may want
to join us on our new NPO Projects Gili T Volunteer Resort &
Projects Coordination Base. ICFW
