2010 Program

September - October 2010

Experience daily village life and work alongside community organisations who are implementing fresh thinking in sustainability.

CERES provides a fully supported program including pre-trip information sessions, Bahasa Indonesian language lessons and post-trip debriefs. We organise flights, accommodation, and food and facilitate projects with the groups we visit. We will even help you raise funds to get over there.

Sukunan Village, Jogjakarta
This farming village of 800 is setting an example for much of the developing world. Starting with home composting and the separation of waste in the kitchen of each household, they have begun a village program of recycling and re-greening. The village has since become a pilot village for surrounding villages.

PPLH Puntondo, Makassar
PPLH Puntondo is a non-government organisation which was established in response to the destruction of the natural environment in South Sulawesi. Located in the coastal village of Puntondo, the organisation delivers a range of marine education programs. Promoting the conservation and the reforestation of mangroves and coral reefs is a strong aim of PPLH Puntondo.

Whilst in Indonesia you will have the chance to contribute to local village communities by sharing your skills in a range of areas including, but not limited to:

  • Health
  • Environmental Education
  • Marketing and Promotion
  • Engineering and sustainable technologies
  • Conservation
  • Agriculture
  • Waste Management
  • Organisational Management

All projects are set up and run in collaboration with the local organisations and community members.
