Right now I'm staying in a northern lombok village in Indonesia. I was invited by my friend Adi who is presenting this video about a traditional and natural remedy to sooth itchy mosquito bites. I've been using the paste today and has been soothing the bites a lot.
He calls the herb he uses in local language 'imba' in Indonesian 'Daun Mimba' biological name azadirachta indica known as Neem in English. This is ground with tumeric and a little salt.
Adi is very passionate about sharing his culture with foreigners and tourists. This is one of the reasons he has invited me here to Bayan region on Lombok, to help him create videos about his local culture and also to work on some ideas to boost income for his community.
The posts we make about Adi and his community will go towards funding Adi's Vision to create a retreat for tourists near to his village on a beautiful plot of land over looking the sea and Rijani volcano. By making a retreat he will be able to create jobs for more members of the community. He has already built a restaurant but its barely being used at the moment, until he is able to make some cabins. This will allow him to offer treks and tours of the local natural wonders, which offers him and his team a good income.
We are also working on creating a small scale organic farm on the plot of land to promote sustainability and we are hoping we can build the cabins off-grid.
