ATTACK OF THE TIGER

Thursday was an interesting day. I traveled North about an hour and a half to do a survey for a water source up in the jungle. The Jungle Trek was about a half hour hike through some of the thickest bush I have ever seen! We surveyed the source and have decided to do a gravity flow system to meet the water demands of the village. Despite the annoying leeches, yes I got two stuck on my bum, the TREK went smoothly. We returned to our home town, to find out that the same day a local hunter was mauled by a tiger only a 10 minuite hike into the jungle! So far he's alive the tiger didn't kill him, but still, kind of scary. So far the only dangerous thing that I have seen are wild boars. One took a run at us as we walked home one night, then headed for the bush as soon as he got within flashlight range. I've started carrying a pocket knife for the walk home. Indonesia is a great place, exciting, warm, friendly people, and interesting wildlife...until next time...

HUNTING AND FISHING IN INDONESIA

Well most of you know that I'm working in International relief with MEDAIR in Indonesia. It is a passion of mine to work with people who need assistance, and as a Christian I feel called to this line of work. However, some of you might not be too familiar with two other influences in my life...hunting and fishing. I have always been interested in wildlife and all the little critters that creep and crawl. When you hunt and fish, you can get up close and personal with some animals, and they taste good on the BBQ. While I'm here in Indonesia, I will try and keep you updated on these two hobbies when they happen. Stay Tuned...
