North Sulawesi,
Indonesia
Come learn about the history, language,
culture and environment of the world's fourth most populous country.
Based in and around the city of Manado on the northern tip of the island
of Sulawesi -- one of the largest of the some 17,000 islands comprising
Indonesia -- this world encounter project will introduce student travellers
to some of the diverse peoples of Indonesia, their ways of life, and their
interactions with the ecosystems that surround them. |

IRI's Fishing
Boat Donation Program
IRI
is pleased to announce that a portion
of the proceeds from our Encounter
North Sulawesi program will go towards the purchase of fishing boats
that are in short supply among the villagers of Lembeh Island. For
each person that joins us for a World
Encounter here in Manado, or for every $1000 we receive in donations,
IRI will buy one complete traditional fishing boat and donate it
to a local fisherman who has either lost his own boat, or needs to replace
the one he has. People who help to support this program will receive
complete reports by email, including photos and fishing statistics for
the boat that their money purchased. This project is just one of
the ways that IRI is helping to support sustainable
endogenous development.
