Raising up female leaders defining the future of our planet through their ideas, talents, actions and inspiration.
We're so thrilled and excited that one of our leader at Youth Act Kalimantan Sumarni Laman is being highlighted as one of the women leading the earth's restoration on #internationalwomensday2021! 🌳
“We have this saying ‘Penyang Hinje Simpei,’” she says of her motivation for her work. “It is from the Sangiang language, a language that is usually used when carrying out rituals of communicating with ancestral spirits and means ‘unity and oneness.’ I think in the context of restoration, this saying encourages every one of us to always work hand-in-hand together to protect our Mother Earth and walk in the same direction.”
