Specific projects

Specific projects needing funding

computers (The Indonesian government recently provided a grant for 10 computers. This equates to one computer for every 70 students at SMK PGRI Payangan High School of Tourism)

Internet connection (the PEP Foundation funded the connection in March 2010 and is paying the 300,000 IDR each month for continued access. A booster is needed to enable students to use WiFi)

Teacher training (Indonesians who teach for the PGRI Foundation are paid around $2 a day (or 1 cent per student per day). As this is much less than teachers working in government schools, the majority of teachers in the foundation schools have other jobs to supplement their incomes and are rarely well-qualified. An incentive system whereby the foundation schools could provide professional development and better wages would benefit the students as well as the teachers.

Toilets need to be upgraded (the school only has two septic toilets for 700 students. The septic system needs to be replaced so raw sewage is not entering the nearby stream)

Hydro electricity generator (there is a strong waterfall at the back of the property which could provide adequate clean energy for the entire school and training center. Permission has been granted by the local community to install a hydro electric system in the waterfall).

Solar panels (Bali is often experiencing power shortages as the coal powered generators struggle to cope with the 2.3 million plus tourists who visit each year.
