We had the opportunity to fly to Solo (central Java) last week and visit the clean water project the church has almost completed for several villages outside the main city. I hiked for about 45 minutes and stopped, but Gale and the other men went further to a holding tank. The church has also built 22 public bathrooms.
It was all hillside, and all the land was being farmed by local people. By hand. No tractors or other mechanical equipment anywhere! Most of it was terraced.
This is a young mom carrying her 2 yr old and her sleeping 10 month old up the hill with lunch for her husband.
This is the goddess of intelligence at a temple about half way up the hill. It is visited twice daily by devoted followers.
