A Fresh Shot at Life, After Jail
|
| More than 3,000 of Indonesia’s youth end up in prison each year. Those released often find it difficult to find jobs. Dian Sasmita started Gerobak Kopi Onjel, a program that provides youth with professional barista training and an internship in a coffee shop. Once their three-month internship ends, they move onto the second part of the program where they are given a cycle wagon that is a mobile coffee shop to go sell coffee at various events. The purpose of the program is to provide these juveniles with a chance to gain skills and a job after they are released as well as increase their confidence in their abilities to tackle difficult tasks. |

Author Jay Griffith experienced the value of ritual expressed in canang sari while on a trip to Bali and realized that, “Tiny, everyday rituals are a hand-crafted prayer to domestic order, beckoning the divine to step inside a moment.” She explains here how she saw traditions in every culture with new eyes, and realized how rituals can give life a depth and sacredness we all need. { read more }
