The last weeks we have been screening families, that need our support the most. Families have been asked to contact Wicked Good Indonesia to apply for aid.
Out of all applicants, we have selected 80 families, to be supported with food and essentials for a month.

And, fantastic news! Labuan Bajo Airport has opened up, slowly flights are coming in. Most are locals, spending their last Rupphia's to come home to their kampungs.

Thank you, all that have supported, and have helped us taking care of our community 🥰👏

Quotes from our founder Paul Landgraver in the Newsletter.

The lack of tourism has impacted every industry and most families. The taxi drivers, the dive guides, the boat captains and crew, the snorkel guides, the restaurants, the cleaning staff, the hotel staff and all those supporting them.
COVID-19 has now has gone from an inconvenience to a disaster.

We are not asking for help with our business. We are asking for help in the 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆

We can make a difference, and so can you. The simple essentials are not expensive - $50usd/40Euro can actually provide the basic necessities for a family of 4 for one month!
𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘂𝘀, 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀!

Because of you you, we have been able to collect 1000EUR for the people of Flores. With this money we have started a food bank through our NGO Wicked Good Indonesia and have been able to feed more then 20 families in Labuan Bajo.
Please donate and share to help another 20 families

We need your help!

Please help feed the boatboys, the taxidrivers, the vegetable lady, the reception staff, the captains, the rangers, the ojek drivers. Help us feed Flores.

As the Corona virus hit, Labuan Bajo came to a standstill. Luckily there is no virus yet in the gateway town to Komodo National Park, but the National Park and all businesses temporarily closed and an entire community lost their jobs and thus means to provide.

Together with our NGO and under the watchful eye of our Community hero we have started a foodbank to take care of the most vulnerable. We provide food, water and cleaning materials.
Support the people of Flores, help us with providing food. As little as 10EUR or 10DOLLARS helps them a great deal.
