  • Goodbye Indonesia: Last day at Work

    My last day in YCM was a great day. Several events fell together. There was the movie-making, the Music Festival and of course my Goodbye Party. While the first two parts would be already enough for a blog post each on its own, I decided for now to only tell you about my goodbye. Many…

  • YCM Activitites: Green Earth Indonesia

    One of these days Green Earth Indonesia visited us. Their main work field is renaturation of former mining areas.

Normally renaturation happens on its own, but not under these circumstances.…

  • A new Home
