Make Earth Day Useful – support Bekandze Farm School

Earth Day is coming soon and is an important day for us at Bekandze Farm, as it marks the end of our crowdfund to support Balienze small holders to switch to organic methodz. Already, we are helping them to do that as a basis for re-localising and regenerating the rural economy. But to establish ourselves as a viable training centre, with a lasting impact locally, and to communicate that globally, we would greatly benefit from your help. 

You can learn more about the daily activities at Bekandze Farm by visiting our Instagram account. That is where we are posting pictures of trees planted as thanks to our supporters. We also produced a couple of short videos to tell you more about the project. The first one below is a summary of why and what we are doing.

We made a video of the blessing ceremony that marked the opening of the farm. Our efforts are in respect and support of the local culture.

We would like to make another video. About our future farm delivery vehicle. No, it’s actually interesting! We want to purchase an electric scooter and get it converted into an electric tricycle for zero carbon farm deliveries (as it would be powered by our solar panels). We believe it would be the first such vehicle in Bali, perhaps Indonesia. If we do it, then we would make a film about the process of scooter conversion and deliveries. If one donor provides us with a gift of 5000 GBP for this vehicle, we will name it after them, painting their name on the side, before making the film (unless the donor asks for us not to do that). Given the resource constraints on planet Earth, we believe this is the appropriate use of EV technology, not fancy private vehicles. Id you have a spare 5K can you help us show the way?
