 PROJECT
ASRI
Webb's vision is now a reality: PROJECT
ASRI combines health care, conservation,
environmental education and medical training in Sukadana,
Indonesia."Saving Forests ~ Saving Lives"
is the motto under the Health in Harmony logo, and it
explains its mission. The ASRI Klinik is providing affordable
health care and training local health workers; Health
in Harmony is in the midst of its biggest fundraising
challenge to build a new hospital with more sophisticated
facilities. Local families are learning how farm organically,
using manure to build the soil and increase yields and
sustain their families; both children and adults are
learning about the importance rainforests and reforestation
is now appreciated and practiced; widows can apply for
a goat to give them a way to build a sustainable business,
trading milk and manure or even a kid goat for health
care and daily needs. teach them sustainable agriculture
so they can feed their families, and educate the children
about the beauty and interconnectedness of the forest
and the world. .

KLINIK
ASRI No
one is turned away and people can pay for their care
in any way possible - working for the clinic itself
or the community as a whole: learning to farm organically
and save or even sell manure from goats or other animals.
|
ASRI
workers are helping villagers understand the damage
done by illegal logging and the "slash and burn"
techniques. They are teaching the value of rebuilding
the depleted soil with organic agriculture methods
and replanting areas as funding allows.

NEW
HOSPITAL
Health in Harmony is seeking funds to build a larger
and better equipped hospital to extend medical possibilities
for the communities around the forest.

DONATION
PAGE
Check out the specific needs for these and other projects.
CHC decided to support a new summer
education program for children to learn about the rainforest
as well as the other areas noted in these projects and
we were able to donate $800 toward next summer. |
GOATS
FOR WIDOWS A
special program for widowed and destitute women is particularly
imaginative and proving to be very successful: a single
goat will provide one widow with milk and manure for a
small garden. As the goat delivers offspring, the woman
can pay ASRI back with one of the "kids" and
then expand her herd to support her family.

KIDS
The goal of the ASRI Kids program to educate local
children about forest protection, technology, and provide
the opportunity to visit un-logged, amazing rainforest
and see the orangutans up close along with so many other
species. These pictures came from the blog developed
by two young volunteers, Ana and Lucia: ASRI
