On January 10th we visited Lapinu for two days, a remote village in the middle of nowhere to the east of Sumba Island which is also one of the poorest regions in Indonesia and in Asia.
As you know, we have a small program to celebrate Christmas with the children and residents of this village, as long as we work at the place. We are indeed three programs that have started almost at the same time in East Sumba.
For the Christmas party at Lapinu, we have prepared a festive meal: spaghetti and homemade Italian sauce, prepared by all of us. The village has neither clean water nor electricity facilities, which is a real challenge for all of us, but it is turning quickly into a real success.
