WOW Borneo Seeks Help From Subud Members
Harris Madden writes . . .
You may be aware of WOW Borneo, the Subud Enterprise led by entrepreneur Gaye Thavisin, which provides riverboat tours into the rainforests, wildlife and villages of Central Kalimantan. You may not be aware that after trading successfully for over ten years, this pioneering enterprise has been without customers for the past 18 months. We are now at the point where we either need to raise capital or probably close down within the next month or two.
WOW Borneo is offering shares to Subud members in an effort to urgently raise USD 50,000 which will see us squeeze through at least 12 months on a tight budget and until the market returns. We’re doing that with the investment funds held in escrow by an independent third party and returned to investors if we don’t reach the minimum amount we need. I joined the business as a shareholder and director last year and am working with Gaye to turn things around. We are hoping to find a way through until tourism resumes. Perhaps just as importantly, we are also keen to open up WOW Borneo (PT Kalimantan Tour Destinations) to become a collectively-owned Subud enterprise that goes on to use its existing business and experience as a platform to do other things in Kalimantan. Investment is of course risky but maybe you’d consider joining us?
If you’d like more information on how to participate, feel free to contact Harris or Gaye directly by email: harris.madden@gmail.com or gaye.thavisin@gmail.com.

LOOKING FOR YOUNG TALENT…
I was at the Basara Youth Gathering in Central Kalimantan over New Year. In all the time I was there, I don’t think I saw anyone with a book or a magazine, but I saw everyone with a mobile phone which they consulted many times a day.
It’s time for Subud Voice to start communicating via social media… so we are looking for a young person to co-edit SUBUD VOICE on FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER ETC… Contact Harris at subudvoice@gmail.com
