Stress free from water coming in and no more snorkel into your mouth. 

We have not tried yet in the water but the French guest was so so happy with the mask and andrecommended.

Book Bound Bunaken Team arrived!!

Book Bound Bunaken Team has arrived!!

The first "Book Buddy" up with children of Tanjung Parigi village on Bunaken Island, supported by Bunaken Cha Cha Nature Resort.

Book Bound Indonesia run in Jakarta with two mobile Libraries serving about 600 children, and they also operating in Pakistan, too.

Briefing session.

Look for your "Book Buddy" with Treasure Hunting game style in the jungle...?

This activity caused great excitement for the local children and village people.
In near future, the idea is the Tanjung Parigi village will donate a building to BBB, an empty small school building that needs renovation, if they do then BBB will donate the money for restoration and put books in there, they will hire a person in there and open the BBB Library to children to come and read books there, once a week the person will go, by bike to other villages and stay there at the Heads house and children can come and read the books and discuss.

Bunaken Cha Cha Nature Resort will be honor to be a supporter of this BBB project.
