Below please find a video documentation which we took on April 21st, 2017.
Address: Br. Telaga, Sibetan Village, Bebandem, Karangasem Regency
Coordinates: 8°26’44.8″S 115°31’02.2″E (View on Google Maps)
We have visited Made Rawan 2 times, on 17 and 20 June.
Made Rawan I think has a strong willing to survive, has a very basic life but does not complain.
We brought sembako, pillow, vitamines and gave 200.000 rp.
Although there was heavy rain when we were there, the roof was not leaking, but the house is in very bad condition. When the neighbours go to the market, they ask him if he needs anything and bring it. He cannot go himself because he almost cannot walk.
Very special man!
Best regards, Marja de Jong.
