On Monday 28 April we will meet at Olims Mercure Hotel and hear from Pam Davis, a traveller and adventurer who has been bringing education to remote places. Sulawesi Serendipity Pam has been visiting Sulawesi 10 years before COVID, volunteering as an education support person and as a child psychologist. Thanks to John Lawrence she now has an extra iron in the fire, Teacher in a Box (TIB) Teacher in a Box brings educational resources to remote areas, and Pam sure does 'remote'. She is the Indonesian facilitator for TIB. Recently she has been to some of the more remote places in Indonesia, starting with Bali. Yes, Bali. It isn't all beaches and bikinis. It has an underbelly, and its own remote areas as well. She has sought out the needs of people, providing education in places you may have been to and many you probably have not. She often sails the high seas to carry out research and deployments. Come with her on a voyage of serendipity to some of the remote areas she has been to. P.S. Pam self-funds all her travel and accommodation during all deployment trips! All donations are 100% used for supply TIB Servers. |
