The future of Raja Ampat.
The site of the new Dunia Baru learning center in Raja Ampat. Right off the dock you can snorkel with intense concentrations of fish, turtles, soft coral and even harmless black tip sharks. The first center will be ready in November and serve as a community space for offering broader access to education. We spent the whole day with the kids and villagers and had all 268 come on board. I can’t wait to come back with my own family and kids.
Welcome aboard 👌🏼
