Stage 2: An Island Base & Nature Park for Humanity & the Environment
Our Island base is also about seeding & empowering local & international people to spark Community & Environmental projects & new foundations, to do this we place a big importance on 'doing' and like the business community we see modern I.T technology and communications as fundamental to 'getting things done in a fast and easy way' . To build a resort like foundation facility to host & empower people who have 'compelling projects' that help people and the planet.
2. to establish a beautiful & informative nature park for local & tourist day visitors that Komodo is proud of. 3. to build a base to hosts skilled and knowledgeable mentors /professors etc who can help grow & empower local and international young people who need assistance growing Humanitarian/Marine/Environmental start up projects. 4. To offer bungalow use to universities/other foundations/startups etc who do humanitarian & environmental projects/innovations /research on various planet protecting topics. also for local projects to be backline and support & work with trustworthy frontline locals. Our Lombok Earthquake experiences and
why we train Disaster Preparedness Outbound Komodo for Disaster Relief Training:
The people of Indonesia are constantly victims of Earthquake, Tsunami, Flood & Volcanic disasters. Also the 'international tent camp model is a failure & their are better ways in getting people quickly off off Aid, back to the village & back to normal. We are proven & have done this for tens of thousands of people. The people of Indonesia are continually victims of Earthquake, Tsunami, Flood & Volcanic disasters.
A strong activity focus will be to train effective Disaster & Emergency Relief & Earthquake Survival & Preparedness and to do so with proven methods from our humanitarian & disaster relief experience. During the Lombok Earthquakes a huge amount of the suffering was extended & unnecessary, the on the ground kaos and lack of basic implementations. The leadership & decision makers were mostly made up elderly people who came from privileged backgrounds and lacked practical experience & mindset. We were the only western project working with the Army & BMPB emergency services but they were bogged down and the coggs to get real things happening were stuck. Our Lombok Earthquake Hero's - 45,000 Temporary Home project was significant in reducing the suffering of tens of thousands of EQ victims. We empowered & set up hundreds of teams supplying some 10,000 big hammers & tools that rolled over from village to village. The tools ability to break down their earthquake flattened homes, clear their existing house pad recycle the materials, Our project supplied 10,000 big hammers, set up hundreds of village teams Where: Komodo - Flores - Indonesia
A long term goal is to also incorporate into the park an island resort eco base & incubation centre to empower & drive humanitarian, environmental & marine non profit start ups.

Below is my school camp which seems so much like OB Rinjani, this camp has endeared tens of thousands of city school kids to self confidence & a love the Great Outdoors.
1. Every kid in Lombok dreams to climb their iconic and sacred volcanic mountain. Sadly most Lombok local kids are too poor to ever achieve their dream. Our intention is to set up OB Rinjani Mountain Base with a numbers up - prices down approach, to host kids for next to nothing. We will put a program in place where local businesses can sponsor their village kids & parents to do "The Rinjani Challenge!" For the kids & parents of Indonesia, we are convinced an Outbound Rinjani Adventure will be remembered for a lifetime!'
2. Sparking a love for nature; Indonesia is in trouble and the rate of decay of Indonesia’s land, air, sea, fresh water & resources is critical. Everything seems to be destroying any chance of a sustainable future for them. Our second purpose is to get Indonesian kids to fall in love with the forest, mountains & animals and instill some common sense environmental DNA into them. Once achieved, our second goal is to have these kids & parents go back to their villages and homes and saying, "it's not ok to burn plastic every day on top of the soil next to the well that they we get our water from, because people will be poisoned & could even lead to cancer." Thank you for joining the Outbound Komodo adventure dream
