  • ROYAL CAMBODIAN RAILWAYS. The journey from Phnom Penh to Battambang is the last working route. A passenger train, operates only at weekends. A Czech made diesel locomotive, leaves the capital Saturday morning, arriving in Battambang 22 hours later in the dead of night, and returns on Sunday. Max speed is about 30kmh, often slower due to the track's terrible condition. Carriages are dilapidated, with holes in the floor and only spaces for windows. Passengers sit or sleep on hardwood bench seats, hammocks, or on the floor of cargo carriages. The drivers, controllers & guards add to their small monthly pay by charging for local passengers and cargo; from motor bikes and local produce to timber loaded aboard at the 30 stations along the route. This together with other trains and farm vehicles further slows the journey. In rural areas, the track is a lifeline, and used for local transport on 'bamboo trains' powered by belt-motors, or pushcarts. Boom towns, with a 'goldrush mentality' near the rapidly depleted rainforest, are a hive of activity, with logging as their resource, where children workers even gamble away their earnings on cardgames. In the city, the railway has a life of its own, where people live and work nearby or on the track itself. Market stalls, restaurants, chairs and tables, are removed only briefly, when the infrequent train passes!///A large family group stand across the track to have their photographed taken

  • FISHERMEN MEKONG RIVER. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh, Mekong River. The Cham fisher people live in various desolated villages along the banks of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. The fisher families live like river gypsy nomads, working and living on their boats, sleeping under a sprung bamboo frame, all their worldly goods stored below deck. They live in extended families, with numerous boats, together for safety. Their diet is rice, vegetables and fish. Their sleek wooden boats are powered by petrol outboard motors with batteries or generators to supply lighting at night. Their fishing technique is laying nets twice or three times per day, which are weighted well below the surface, using old paint aerosal canisters as buoyant floaters, hanging just beneath the surface. These particular fisher families, living at the junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, overlooked by Phnom Penh, sell their catch at the Vietnamese market, on the banks of the river. Their life and fortunes are controlled by the cycle of the river. As the river levels drop, so the quantity of fish decreases, until after the heavy floods of the monsoon they fill the river again. They are poor traditional Muslims, marginalised from mainstream society, living a third world life in the immmediate shadow of the first world. The Cham, originally a people of an ancient kingdom called Champa, are a small and disenfranchised community who were disinherited of their land. They are a socially important ethnic group in Cambodia, numbering close to 300,000. The Cham people, live in some 400 villages across Kampong Chnang and Kampong Cham provinces. Their religion is Muslim and their language belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian family. Their livelihoods are as diverse as rice farming, cattle trading, hunting and fishing.///Cham children, silhouetted against the nightsky, play near the shores of the river Mekong

  • John Hardy the founder of Green School explains to a group of visitors about the Hydro-electric Vortex which takes power from the Ayung River running next to the school to provide a renewable energy source<br />
<br />
<br />
The Green School (Bali) is one of a kind in Indonesia. It is a private, kindergarten to secondary International school located along the Ayung River near Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. The school buildings are of ecologically-sustainable design made primarily of bamboo, also using local grass and mud walls. There are over 600 students coming from over 40 countries with a percentage of scholarships for local Indonesian students.<br />
<br />
The impressive three-domed "Heart of School Building" is 60 metres long and uses 2500 bamboo poles. The school also utilizes renewable building materials for some of its other needs, and almost everything, even the desks, chairs, some of the clothes and football goal posts are made of bamboo.<br />
<br />
The educational focus is on ecological sustainability. Subjects taught include English, mathematics and science, including ecology, the environment and sustainability, as well as the creative arts, global perspectives and environmental management. This educational establishment is unlike other international schools in Indonesia. <br />
<br />
Renewable energy sources, including solar power and hydroelectric vortex, provide over 50% of the energy needs of the school. The school has an organic permaculture system and prepares students to become stewards of the environment. <br />

The school was founded by John and Cynthia Hardy in 2008.

  • Batak family group sitting on the doorstep of their traditional home..Batak Indigenous Christian people living on Samosir Island and nearby Lake Toba in Indonesia. There are some 6 million Christian Batak in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country of 237 million people, which has more Muslims than any other in the world. Though it has a long history of religious tolerance, a small extremist fringe of Muslims have been more vocal and violent towards Christians in recent years. ..Batak religion is found among the Batak societies around Lake Toba in north Sumatra. It is ethnically diverse, syncretic, liable to change, and linked with village organisations and the monotheistic Indonesian culture. Toba Batak houses are boat-shaped with intricately carved gables and upsweeping roof ridges, and Karo Batak houses rise up in tiers. Both are built on piles and are derived from an ancient Dong-Son model. The gable ends of traditional houses, Rumah Bolon or Jabu, are richly decorated with the cosmic serpent Naga Padoha carved in wood or in mosaic, lizards, double spirals, female breasts, and the head of the singa, a monster with protruding eyes that is part human, part water buffalo, and part crocodile or lizard. The layout of the village symbolises the Batak cosmos. They cultivate irrigated rice and vegetables. Irrigated rice cultivation can support a large population, and the Toba and the Karo live in densely clustered villages, which are limited to around ten homes to save farming land. The kinship system is based on marriage alliances linking lineages of patrilineal clans called marga. In the 1820's Islam came to the southern Angkola and Mandailing homelands, and in the 1850's and 1860's Christianity arrived in the Angkola and Toba region with Dutch missionaries and the German Rheinische Mission Gesellschaft. The first German missionary caused the Dutch to stop Batak communal sacrificial rituals and music, which was a major blow to the traditional religion. Dutch colo

Roma Gypsies left Rajasthan in India a thousand years ago, in the ninth and tenth centuries. They were pushed west by the Ottoman Muslim Empire as it moved through Persia towards the frontiers of Europe. They entered Europe in the foutrteenth century and were slaves in Romania and Moldavia until the mid 1850s. There are about 15 million Roma gypries in the world, about 12 million who live in Europe. they are Europe's largest ethnic minority. They have rich traditions and culture, their own language. They are renowned for their prowess in music and dance; they are also skilled craftsman, metal roofmakers, silver and goldsmiths. Their traveling and nomadic lifestyle which grew from a necessity to find work, and because they were often moved on from one place to the next, has given them both a liberty but also marks them as different and they are often feared by sedentary peoples, who label and scapegoat them. They are hardy survivors and live in the brunt of racism and prejudice, often marginalised, living in poverty, without proper human rights afforded to them..
