The rise of the Eco-warriors

Yesterday, we're awaiting curious for the webcast of Cathy's TedxTalk about the DeforestAction project that was to take place during the afternoon (here in Indonesia). After she talked about the 20 days, the 15 Eco-warriors, the Youth movement that the DeforestAction project represents, she shared with the world the short movie over the first 20 days of the Eco-warriors in the Jungle of Borneo. Cathy and her team did make a wonderful and passionate job! Congratz to all.

I believe that these minutes of intense emotions will touch and inspire YOU to be part of a change that we all urge.

Meeting with Cathy day

Selamat malam! Today the children and me met a very enthusiastic woman. In the end, Li said she would like to go and visit her in Australia, where she currently lives. Cathy is her name and she is the producer of the EarthWatchers action movie. Pak Edu, Cathy and others from DeforestAction Project had been together for the last 4 days in the area of Sintang, West Kalimantan (the land area of DeforestAction) to talk with the local population about their situation in their forest. From what Pak Edu told us their stories are quite sad to listen to for their feeling of helplessness and their only request was letting the world know what is happening to their home. (I believe Pak Edu will post about his adventure in the jungle soon). But as I was saying, Cathy was very interested in knowing where was the office of Pak Edu and Pak Budhi and so came to Bogor for a quick visit. We toured a bit in the city center and end up in a restaurant which is a tipical long house of the Dayak people (the one they met in the jungle). We had a very pleasant lunch together. We shall meet again, so we hope.

Sampai nanti everyone!!
