Support families in need in Bali with a water filter to help them save money and improve their health in this time of crisis.

Social Impakt, a Bali based organisation has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support local families in need with a water filter to help them save money and improve their health.

As you know, with COVID-19, most of the local people in Bali have lost their jobs and livelihoods have disappeared.

There are no tourists anymore, families struggle to make ends meet and every penny saved makes a huge difference.

So join the movement Social Impakt launched to give access to clean and affordable drinking water to the underprivileged families in Bali.

Make a positive impact on income and health and donate, there is no small amount. Thank you for your support and please share on your social media and with your friends.

GARDEN DOCTOR Sustainable and Practical: All-Terrain Bamboo Wheelchairs Grass on Clay

Indonesia lacks services and infrastructure for people with disabilities.

This means that many children and ‘Dear Garden Doctor, adults,you andknow particularly those livingway in villages where Would what is the easiest to prepare clay the rough terrain is not suitable for normal wheelchairs, soil or improve it before planting my buffalo turf grass areaconfined to theirarea? homes. try to Irectify for small courtyard My To wife and for the this pastdire two situation, Eco Living Bali, a supplier of sustainable years have been struggling with getting the grass to fully products made from natural ingredients, and East Bali take in the front courtyard.

Start with a light tilling to break up the clay, then apply some topsoil/compost. The key is loosening up the clay and spreading organic matter/compost throughout the area that you intend to plant. Some people use sand or gypsum to break clay soil up. I highly recommend using organic matter instead, it supplies the nutrients that the newly planted lawn will need.

As bamboo is found in abundance in Bali and throughout Asia, a bamboo wheelchair could be easily repaired by a bamboo artisan in a village,” Brad says, adding that each wheelchair has to be custom made to fit the beneficiary’s requirements.

Up to date, Eco Living Bali and East Bali Bamboo Bikes have funded and built three bamboo wheelchairs. The first wheelchair, or the prototype, is currently on display in the Eco Living Bali shop in Kerobokan. The two other wheelchairs have been handed over to those in need.

Nasrudin, who was the inspiration behind the project, received the second wheelchair, while the third wheelchair was donated to 15-year-old Nengah Macika, the son of one of the East Bali Bamboo Bikes craftsmen from Ban Village.

“We have a growing list of underprivileged children and adults in Bali and Lombok who require all-terrain wheelchairs, and we are currently seeking funding to make them,” says Brad. “We are initially only targeting Bali and For an existing lawnwe thatplan is suffering on to clay, gypsum worked Lombok, however, to expand other islands soon in willthen alsohopefully help.

It is always best to have a prepared soil laid before the lawn is planted whether on clay or sandy soil. For final preparations always top dress with a thick layer of compost over the area and work it through the soil. The best way to improve any soil type is to add large amounts of organic matter or compost.

Add anything available such as compost, manure, seaweed, dry leaves, even shredded newspaper, then fork it in and work it into the soil.

Bandit Saints Java by George Quinn Marlboro Man...

Goodbye HollyofGolightly, Goodbye When Islam first arrived in Indonesia in the 15th C., it One ready-packaged of the more solitary small pleasures I enjoy came in a mystical doctrine that was widely welcomed across Java.

Apart from the cringingly ghastly “Hownot to disappear.

Since the FT content is behind a pay wall and I have no interest in the weekday newspaper itself, it’s not worth my stumping up for a subscription. Fortunately for me the weekend print edition is usually on sale at Periplus bookshops around Bali.

On one occasion, seated at a table on the deck of the Starbucks in Renon Plaza, engrossed in a good read trying to control the flyaway pages of my newspaper I was enveloped in a cloud of smoke. I was partly aware that a dapper Indonesian man in his early thirties had arrived and sat down at an adjoining table, put down his coffee, opened his lap top, and positioned his handphone together with some other device alongside. Preparing to be irked and ready to rustle the pages of my broadsheet ostentatiously enough to attract attention for a warm-up death glare, I realised that the smoke didn’t actually reek of tobacco, as I had automatically assumed it would.

As I was registering this, the man raised a small expensive-looking rectangular black and silver object to his mouth and took a toke. Upon exhale an astonishingly copious cloud of vapour billowed forth, was taken by the wind toward and past myself, on to envelop other tables nearby, onlystruggle dissipating on the side of the Researchers who today to trace thefar dynamics of religious change in modern Java are unanimous in onecloud, thing: I deck.

The saint’s graves are havens of refuge and respite embedded solidly in the practices of everyday life for scores of millions of people. The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism reported that 12.2 million people visited the tombs of the Nine Saints in 2014.

A few of the sites, like that of Sunan Bonang in Tuban, host up to a million visitors a year. In the final months of the Ramadan fasting month, 20,000 pilgrims a day visit the tomb of Sunan Ampel in Surabaya. The popularity of local pilgrimages has given rise to a highly profitable services sector called wisata ziarah (pilgrimage tourism) in which pilgrims are whisked around by chartered bus to as many as 9 tombs in 6 days. Run on a shoestring, the tours are composed mostly of women who wear like-colored t-shirts, sleep in the bus, mosque or rest pavilions, eat takeaway food and shop for religious souvenirs. So relentlessly popular are the tours that most participants don’t even get close to the small, inner burial chamber but have to sit in dense ranks on tiled patio floors all around the vicinity.

Q Good sense for The Wet

To keep mosquitoes from laying eggs, add a handful of neem leaves to small pond or pools. Neem leaves will help stop mosquitoes from breeding, but won’t harm other pond creatures. Frogs, lizards and fish, especially tilapia fish, will feed on mosquito eggs and larvae. *Excess water in the wet season can be stored in ponds to prevent water laying stagnant on the ground. Rainwater can be stored in tanks, but usually tanks will not hold all of it. Extra water can be stored in the ground, in ponds and by trees that store water in their roots, trunk, branches and leaves. Dig a shallow trench around your house in places where the rain falls, then fill with gravel.

Use the soil from digging the trench to make the ground higher so that the water flows away from the house. This will help keep the house dry during the wet season. Water can be run to vegetable gardens, compost pits, etc. Edges of garden pathways can also function as swales to collect and hold water.

Dig new holes for trees, but leave them empty to fill with rain, which will soften the soil so that when trees are planted at the end of the wet season, they will grow better.

Q Beware the Tick.
