I flew directly from Jakarta, Indonesia to Balikpapan on the island of Borneo, to do school visits at an international school. The island of Borneo consists of Kalimantan, the Indonesia portion as well as Brunei and east Malaysia. I’m struck by how clean everything is: streets are continuously being swept by city workers with tiny bundles of branches. I don’t understand how people, especially the children, stay so immaculately clean while living in shacks and walking dirt roads. The children wear bright white socks, school uniforms starched and pressed, hair all combed and perfect. Yet all around is dirt and dust…En route to the airport, the taxi driver comments that there is a lot of unemployment since logging of the rain forest became illegal. Has that really stopped?
