Inauguration of Pemimpin Idola

My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed the adventure of traveling around from one island to another in Indonesia, the largest archipelago in the world. During these very same travels, we met many underprivileged children who touched our hearts.

Moved to provide opportunities for some of these children, we began “Gilbert’s Camp”, dug a community well and connected with several whom we are mentoring and one who is now living in our Indonesia home and attending the university there. Sharing these stories with our friends, we saw an interest on the part of others to join in this type of effort to reach out to those in need. And so…… another story begins, that of expanding our outreach by telling others and accepting donations for our cause, Pemimpin Idola. With this new step, the excitement of adventure travel has now been replaced with the fulfillment that comes when one can make a difference in the lives of others.
