Lombok earthquake: meeting the oldest man in the village
I'd never experienced a major Earthquake before, neither had anyone under 40 years old in Lombok. According to the local people the last memorable of earthquake was sometime in the 80's and even for this old man he said there was never an Earthquake as strong as this.... And that was the first 6.2 earthquake, only a week later we felt the force of a 7.0 earthquake.
Meeting this old man during such an alarming day was really calming. This man maybe well over 90 years maybe even 100 years old, he is regularly smoking tobacco yet is still in good health for his age. This just goes to show how long healthy people can live, that people from a previous generation, who didn't use pesticides or eat modern connivance food are a lot healthier later in life. He does not have an ounce of fat, he walks and is able to comfortably sit on the floor. Now young people are getting cancer from all kinds of toxins they are experiencing through 'modern' living.
One thing I noticed is that ‘modern’ food often sold on road side stalls and village shops sell lots of food packaged in plastic, sweets that do not degrade. These products are some of the cheapest and kids like to spend their pocket money on these item. I also noticed a lot of kids going around with a plaster on there cheeks, apparently because of tooth ache…. Which is a shame. On the postive side I also watched the kids forage for food, climbing papaya trees, and shaking other fruits trees, collecting as much as they can. By creating an organic farm intiative and sustainability project, we hope to encourage more of this! We want to see more people all over the world but especially our friends in Lombok to eat free food and wave baby to plastic wrapped convenience food. For their health & the environment.

@celestialcow, Hope that this Earthquake didn't hurt anyone. And people who face these kind of events they know the power of nature and power of calamities. And in my opinion that old man is still reflecting as super enthusiastic and for sure good to go through from this video. Keep up and stay blessed. 🙂

Yes it's true! No one got hurt in this village but family members of some of the ppl in other places did, which is very sad. Everyone is still on alert and the shaking continues a little all the time, it's way of life there now, the people are learning to cope with it and these donations help alot. Thank you for your kind words! :)
Welcome and hope that situation will turn into pleasant soon. Have a great time ahead. 🙂
Wow, that was really cool. He still looks pretty strong for his age. He doesn't even wear glasses. Good for him.
It's pretty incredible I must say, just goes to show when you stay active, don't over eat and don't worry and stress too much the body can stay fit for a long time!

Hey first I hope that no one was hurt by the earthquake and secondly I want to thank you for creating and maintaining the fundition campaign to help the people with the help of the blockchain!
I hope you will receive a lot of support with this campaign.
I supported it of course because I think we all should help in the way we can. I am living in Europe, have the opportunity to work in a full-time job and I am able to donate something for helping others.
I admire your engagement and I really liked to see the oldest guy of the village. How comfortable he is in front of the camera is just cool. And how active he seems for such an age. Wow.. I want to be as active as him if I ever become 100! I prefer other toothpaste and I prefer not to smoke cigarettes but we all are different :D What counts is that we enjoy what we are doing!
Thanks again for your work! I am following you now because I want to see more updates on your fundition and about the life there.
Much energy and peace!

Agreed on how different the generation of today is
We have given up health for convenience
I have never heard of plaster to help with toothache
That's interesting
I wonder if it helps ....
Thank you for sharing this with us
Haha yes I don't think the plaster helps just to protect the childs face a little. I also thought it was a bit weird!
