Dragon Fruit

Here is another fruit you most likely have never encountered in the United States. It is the “Dragon Fruit.”

Here in Indonesia Dragon Fruit is common. We belive it is an imported fruit from China. The fruit has an intimidating appearance, but once that is overcome it can be an enjoyable fruit to eat.

Watch the below video to see it being cut, peeled and eaten.

 

New Clean Water System In Operation

Our second water project is compled and is providing clean water for drinking and cooking in the Muarajernih village. This village is located in the Merangin Regency of the Jambi Province.

We enjoy being the intermediaries between the buisness owners and generous philanthropists in the US and the good people in the Jambi Province. Hopefully this relationship can continue to build and we can do many more such projects.

Please watch the below video, as well as click on this link to read about and see a video of the previous water project.

 

Barber Shops in Indonesia

Barber Services are Plentious

Some people think that developing nations are lacking in basic services. That opinion is due to a lack of experinece in other countries.  If you would come to Indonesia, you will find services like Barber Shops and Hairdresers (for women) everywhere. Asians are known for their lack of shyness when it comes to modern styles and their willingness to embrace the latest fashions. So, with haircuts it is no different.

Almost every busy street will have a few barbers, as well as salons for women. The below video will show one such location.

 

Frisbees Were Delivered

Prior to us leaving for Indonesia, we had a school give us Frisbees that were hand colored by the children that attend that school. They asked that we would take and give them to the children in Jambi. We have completed this task and the Frisbees were received with great joy.

Please take the time to watch the below video of the children in Jambi playing with their gifts from school children in the United States.
