Go Indo’s social work
Thanks to your contribution!
In August 2018, the island of Lombok was hit by massive earthquakes. Go Indo set up a successful fundraising campaign, via Dutch social media. Our team was able to provide isolated villages with necessary basic resources such as medicines, water, food, blankets, school materials and more. In total we went out with a fully loaded truck 8 times. Our team personally delivered the resources by truck, and when the infrastructure was too damaged, we continued by motorbike. Go Indo's team also handed out water purification buckets to villages to overcome the drinking water scarcity at that time. For the children, Go Indo organized a local trauma team consisting of nurses, social workers and an animation team to brighten up their spirits. The fundraising has already ended.

Fair verblijf
Ecologisch verantwoord & maatschappelijk bewust.
Wij streven ernaar enkel samen te werken met lokale bedrijven en individuen. Zo verblijven Go Indo reizigers in hotels en homestays die in bezit zijn van lokale Indonesiërs in plaats van verblijven in grootschalige resorts. Onze lokaal geselecteerde accommodaties garanderen u een schoon, prettig verblijf in authentieke sferen.
Daarnaast zijn activiteiten tijdens de reizen gericht op het stimuleren van de zelfredzaamheid van locals. Niet alleen dragen we zo bij aan de gemeenschap, maar u leert zo ook de lokale mensen en hun culturen en gebruiken beter kennen. Go Indo wil deze kleinere bedrijven en initiatieven bijstaan door hen klantenbasis te bevorderen als wel door het ondersteunen van hun projecten en ideeën.
Udin & Priska met hun twee kleine kinderen zijn hun familie homestay gestart in 2018. Het stuk land waar de homestay is gebouwd was al in hun familie voor generaties lang. Udin werkt al sinds hij 17 is als gids en chauffeur. ‘Ik merkte dat toeristen het leuk vonden om vrienden en familie van mij te ontmoeten. De contacten die zo ontstonden waren geweldig. We fantaseerden altijd over een homestay waar toeristen zich als familie voelen, want zo verwelkomen we onze gasten. We zijn allemaal één.’ Zo kwam hij op het idee om een bescheiden homestay op te bouwen. Een homestay waar toeristen in rust bij kunnen komen van hun wandeltochten op de nabijgelegen Kelimutu vulkaan. Een homestay met het comfort van een hotel maar met het gevoel van thuiskomen. Go Indo reserveert kamers in Udin’s homestay wanneer gasten Moni en Kelimutu bezoeken.
Voor duikinstructeur en free diver Faldy is de oceaan zijn thuis. Hij benoemt een van de ideeën van minister Pudjiastuti: geef lokale mensen snorkelmaskers zodat ze met eigen ogen kunnen zien hoe mooi de oceaan met haar koraalriffen en exotische zeeleven is. ‘Zodra we zien hoe waardevol het is wat we hebben, geven we er misschien meer om. Ik zie als duiker iedere dag de schoonheid van mijn eiland en zou nooit afval in de natuur kunnen gooien. Het bewustzijn vergroten van de impact van plastic afval beschouw ik als één van mijn taken als local hier.’ Samen met Go Indo organiseert Faldy met lokale scholieren wekelijkse schoonmaakdagen om diverse stranden in Labuan Bajo van afval te ontdoen.

English class
Go Indo's team organises weekly English courses in kampung Nekang, Ruteng. Because of Go Indo's support, the kids have access to educational toys, learning and teaching materials. Homestay Kampung offers a safe teaching space & healthy snacks for the kids. For the youngest kids the English courses focus on learning through playful lessons. This way the kids experience learning as a fun thing to do! For older children, the lessons aim at increasing self-confidence in speaking English. If in Ruteng, it's possible to join the teachers during the English course.
