The Village of Kulu and her people

The Village of Kulu is very small city and positioned in a strategic location, situated on a bluff overlooking the ocean.

Landscape in Kulu

We went to the very poor village of Kulu, a few miles from where Likupang in Indonesia, from the promontory where lies this small town, you can enjoy this nice landscape, that makes you want to dive into the ocean from the distance.

Here we met the people in the church at the center of the town and where the welcome was warm and wanted to know our school and our Sunflower Association and they put their problems in our hands, looking at the sky and saying that God, help us and protect us. 

I entrust them to you all and hope we can do something for them too.

Feivi loves animals

Feivi watching us

Feivi lives in a poor family and loves animals, has in the house a rabbit, two dogs, one cat and several chickens.

Feivi is 4 years old, he attended the play group and every morning arrives with great enthusiasm and desire to participate and play in all the activities we offer.
His family is very poor, the father is the painter and did not always work and the mother takes care of her two children and washing clothes for the various families.
They built their house with some sheet metal and a bit of plywood, on a ground that we donated as an association.
There are young family, but they have a lot of good will and they do everything with great joy and passion and I'm sure that will be able to get a lot of satisfaction.
