Program Details

Hi Everyone! We are Edy and Husni. We both are painters that focus on turning plastic waste into arts. By using plastic waste as our main material in painting, we believe that it can help to voice out the negative impact it would have to our beloved earth.

Before going further, perhaps let me explain a bit about myself. I’m Edy Suranta Ginting from BERASTAGI MEDAN NORTH SUMATERA. I have been traveling around Indonesia to make campaigns about education in environment, arts, organic farming and home industry to all Indonesians in the areas I visit, for over 21 years. And at the moment, I’m currently residing in CIGUGUR with my close friend Husni, who is also a painter and a local from CIGUGUR village.

At the moment, we have two private rooms which you can use whilst staying with us.

Activities & Shift

Here, we have plenty of activities to do that include:
1. Waste management in turning organic and non organic waste into arts
2. Making documentary films about nature, arts and anything that is fascinating around us
3. Cleaning all kinds of trash or waste at the closest beaches and rivers.
4. Learning about farming without using any pesticide or any chemicals
5. Planting mangrove around the beach areas.
6. Camping, hiking, surfing, and even fishing in the sea or river.
7. Lastly, you will be also participating in building our tree house which will be made entirely
from all types of waste! :) (non medical waste).

Rules

Here we can do fun activities and we don't have time for wake up or working. I hope you can enjoy staying here.
