Recyling Used Cooking Oil with Yayasan Lengis Hijau (part 2 - end)

Dear Greensters, 

Patricia here! :)

I am attaching a video about our visit to Yayasan Lengis Hijau, a place in Denpasar - Bali to recycle used cooking oil into biodiesel. In this video, Mr. Tri Hermawan said that you should not throw away the used cooking oil,but it is better you collect and give it to the biodiesel producer like what we did.

Dear Greensters,

Visiting a school for deaf children was one of our inspiring moments. We make friends with them. They are so clever. In one video, you can watch how Mrs. Dede (the teacher) greeted us with "today, let's learn together" and "thank you" in a sign language.

Volunteering: The School for Deaf Children (Part 1)

Dear Greensters,

 It's me Javier.  A couple of months ago, we went to a special school that is for people who cannot talk. They also cannot hear well. Both disabilities make them cannot speak well. They use a sign language when they communicate to each other. The name of the school is SLB-B Jimbaran - Bali. The school was opened since May 7th, 1984.
