]]> Comment on A SELF-HELP MODEL FOR AID THAT REALLY WORKS – THE EAST BALI POVERTY PROJECT (EBPP) by Joan Fulton http://eastbalipovertyproject.org/2012/04/18/a-self-help-model-for-aid-that-really-works-%e2%80%93-the-east-bali-poverty-project-ebpp/comment-page-1/#comment-937 Joan Fulton Tue, 15 May 2012 10:47:37 +0000 http://eastbalipovertyproject.org/?p=2051#comment-937 Dear David, It is almost a month since I was at the EBPP. Yet, the images and memories of our day in the EBPP are so vivid. What is most awesome (or 'wow-some' as I like to say after the visit) is the vastness of the project EBPP has undertaken. Vast geographically and vast technically. The area covered by the project is large, roughly 19km by 5km, but what is not easily seen or understood is the difficulty to get from one point to another. The steep hills and ravines are tough and savaged by weather on top of it all and thick, thick with jungle. The issues tackled are so many and so integrated: basic health, education, changing mindsets or more appropriately showing the result of certain mindsets (e.g., getting married at 15, boiling water during childbirth, etc), physical plant (e.g., roads, water piping, sanitation), sustainable livelihoods, social integration, communication, and more and more and more. The beauty is that the issues are dealt with comprehensively, they are not dealt with on a stand-alone basis. They are all linked, integrated. This is what is amazing. The coordination, the anticipation of the issues and potential solutions and all this done in the end by the communities for themselves=empowerment=hope=confidence=future. This is not to say that many other projects and communities do not do good work, far from it, every step counts, but I have not seen to date the application of solutions on such a large (geographic and topical) scale and in such a cost-effective manner. This vist left me in awe again of the power of individuals' visions and the power of their desires. The EBPP is certainly such a project and all I can say is "Wow". One has to see it to even begin to understand it. I encourage those who seek challenges and want to see excellent results to visit the EBPP, sooner rather than later, the world needs more of these projects! Thank you again for sharing this world with us, I shall be back! Dear David,

]]> Comment on About Us by My trip to Bali | Brittany Bloomer http://eastbalipovertyproject.org/who-we-are/about-us/comment-page-1/#comment-879 My trip to Bali | Brittany Bloomer Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:48:11 +0000 http://eastbalipovertyproject.org/#comment-879 [...] In late November last year I travelled to Bali to celebrate the end of schooling. I found myself exposed to a completely different life style and culture. I was quite shocked when confronted by humans living in poverty, as well as stray dogs and cats wondering the streets. The people in Bali supported themselves by either running their own stalls in the markets or physically walking around with baskets selling different types of food and handmade bracelets. It was a huge shock at first when I was confronted by a young boy, shaking a bunch of bracelets in front of me. I instantly bought a few of them (which worked out to be 50 cents each), then was later told by a friend that these children are recruited by adults as a manipulative way to attract customers. On a more positive note, I did my research and was relieved to find out that there is an organisation called the East Bali Poverty Project which aims to help thousands of people who live in absolute poverty without water, sanitation, roads, schools, health facilities and electricity. Although I was not exposed to the worst form of poverty in Bali, I was still quite shocked at some of their living conditions, especially those of the beggars. The East Bali Poverty Project holds the philosophy of “helping people to help themselves”. To find out more information about this organisation and how you can help out – Check out their website.

I happened upon your website and got very excited as I think you might be just the right enterprise to help me. Could I come down to meet you and discuss what I'm looking for? I'm leave on Wednesday and have some other meetings so perhaps Tuesday would be a good day? Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon. Duncan Hi, I’m here in Bali sourcing Bamboo musical instruments.
