They have abandoned shoes for a year and are raising money for Mobile Medical Clinics and ‘Health and Safety Education and Sport for a Brighter Future for Children in Indonesia.
As the SOLE MEN INDONESIA they plan to walk 500km around Bali, and another 500km in Java, before going on to Australia where they intend to walk 1000km. The project has been inspired by UK’s China based film maker Arthur Jones who is doing similarly in China.
Throughout the SOLE MEN INDONESIA’s year of living barefoot, these two men will be working to raise US$ 1,000,000,- in the first year of the project to help the children and raise the profile of the children’s situation in Indonesia. The project is supported by Rotary District 3400 (Rotary Clubs in Indonesia).
Robert is looking for support in the form of donations, sponsorship, hotel accommodation etc.
President Bruce thanked the guest speaker, wishing the very worthwhile venture every success. He indicated the board would discuss ways in which RCBND could assist.
