Request for small donation for HIV clinic Bali Peduli Event for Bali expats ·

By Ralph R. Klemp
[When] Today
[Where] BALI PEDULI
[Description] Dear all, Yogi of the Bali Peduli , hiv screening klinik in Kuta, sees quite a number of patients with large, fungating masses of anal warts. (I can send disgusting pictures if you want..) We can treat with meds but the process is slow and requires many, many visits to paint the mess with wart meds. We could speed up the process with an electric cautery to debulk the mass by cutting away large portions all at once and then use the meds for clean up of the bits. This would be good for the patients and reduce the number of follow-up clinic visits. The cost of the cautery is 9,5 million. While not absolutely essential for our work, it would be added value for patient care. We are challenged a bit with funding at the moment and for that I put it out for group consideration. please if you care, any donation is most welcome from 10.000 rp to 10 million, ... you may either transfer to my paypal account at klemp.ralph@gmail.com or directly to Bali Peduli: CIMB Niaga-RP acct# 4890100130005- USDollar acct#4890200008001-swift code BNIAIDJA . http://www.balipeduli.org/

SPEAKERS ARE:

STEPHEN LANSING J.
Stephen Lansing is a professor in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona, with a joint appointment in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He is also an external professor at the Santa Fe Institute, birthplace of complexity theory, and a senior research fellow at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. He has been a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, the Institute of Advanced Study at Durham University, and the Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology in Jakarta. As a Wesleyan undergraduate, Lansing spent six months on the Indonesian island of Bali, and promptly changed his major from physics to anthropology. In the 1980s, Lansing and ecologist James Kremer showed that Balinese water temple networks can self-organise. Later research showed that over the centuries, water temple networks expanded to manage the ecology of rice terraces at the scale of whole watersheds. In 2012, Bali’s water temple networks were recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. As the pieces of the water temple story were falling into place, Lansing became interested in self-organising processes elsewhere in the archipelago. In 2000 he began to work with Indonesian geneticists, linguists and public health officials to study the co-evolution of social structure, language change and disease resistance on 14 Indonesian islands. In 2013, he will be a visiting professor at Singapore’s new institute for complexity research, and an adviser on the governance system for Bali’s World Heritage

RUDOLF DETHU
rudolf Music journalist, writer, radio DJ, socio-political activist, creative industry leader, former band manager and librarian-in-progress, Rudolf Dethu is heavily under the influence of punk rock philosophy. Often tagged as this country’s version of Malcolm McLaren—or as Rolling Stone Indonesia put it: the grand master of music propaganda—a name based on his successes when managing Bali’s two favourite bands, Superman Is Dead and Navicula, whom have become two of the nation’s biggest rock bands. Currently based in Sydney, and busier than ever, the author of the first ever history of modern music in Bali, Blantika | Linimasa, is in the midst of writing a script for a music documentary movie and will soon release his second book, a band biography. Not only did he used to be the chairman of a non-governmental Dutch-Indonesian music foundation, OneDollarForMusic, he co-founded one of the biggest creative-industry events in Indonesia, Bali Creative Festival, and a few months ago Dethu and his buddies started an independent online radio, Rebel Radio Indonesia but, having produced his own alternative music program since 1998, he’s hardly a new face on the anti-mainstream radio scene and the success of Rebel Radio Indonesia is proof. Now, while regularly writing his own columns in The Beat Bali and The Beat Jakarta, he constantly upgrades his academic qualifications. Having successfully chaired ‘Building Communities Through Music’ at UWRF 2011, Dethu returns to the festival, bringing with him his unquantifiable knowledge of music, publishing and politics in Indonesia
