The Ethical and Green Foundation, building a school




Harry Clements-Shepherd and Helen Bryant, the owners of English Explorer Pty Ltd recently launched The Ethical and Green Foundation, for assisting with education in developing countries.
As a part of this initial launch an investigative working group from FACET headed by Colin Ingram from Global Resolve recently spent a week in Les village NE Bali working with the Village Council, to formulate a plan for self sustaining community based tourism. Additionally they looked at a plan for the development of a Junior High School facility in the 'top village' where currently education does not go beyond Primary level. Parents have begun the building work, supported by a seed injection of funds by E&G and purchase of 3 hara of land by a Les village based retired academic Charles Jacobs. Much more has to be done though before these new classroms can be used and considerably more funding is needed to complete the work. All building materials, right down to the last nail, have to be transported by hand over several kilometres up gradients of 30 degrees plus. No easy task to transverse with no load!
