A truly remarkable and unforgettable adventure!” – Ann, Globalteer Indonesia volunteer About Globalteer Globalteer was founded as a UK non-profit organisation in June 2006. Globalteer is a registered charity in the UK (registration number 1119706), which means that Globalteer is legally required to ensure that 100% of all monies received are used to achieve our charitable objectives. Our Strategies • To work with projects that meet genuine local needs, as identified by the communities they serve, and that meet our criteria for sustainability and responsibility. • To work closely with our partner projects to ensure that all volunteer placements are of genuine value to the project and are in keeping with the projects’ short term goals and long term objectives • To place suitably experienced volunteers within approved partner projects on tasks where there is a local shortage of necessary skills. • To encourage the transfer of volunteer skills to local staff wherever possible. • To help fund the continued development of partner projects. • To help all our partner projects to become fully self-funded and locally managed with minimal requirement for external support. • To continually assess the needs of the communities with whom we work and identify new partners and new initiatives as necessary. Getting out and about This section of the orientation guide will give you more information about what to do in and around Sulawesi. Our travel partner can advise if you wish to book excursions before you leave home and if you do book through them, they will make a small donation to Globalteer. Please visit our website for details of our travel partners However, don’t forgot to ask project staff for recommendations once you arrive, especially regarding any local upcoming festivals, or places to visit near your project site. There are many things to do during your free time, including relaxing, reading, observing the animals, exploring the area, socialising with other volunteers, and learning Indonesian. The project also has a TV and DVD player that are available for use during certain hours with a large selection of movies. There are also a variety of games available. On days off, volunteers sometimes choose to take a taxi to the capital city of Manado to spend a night or two. Manado has many restaurants, bars, markets and shopping malls, and is approximately 60 minutes from the rescue centre. You can spend the day there shopping, sightseeing or getting a well-earned massage. Alternatively, you could do a day tour of Manado and its surroundings, including Tomohon Market and Mount Mahawu. The rescue centre itself is situated on a volcanic beach next to a coral reef so many volunteers choose to spend their time off relaxing and snorkelling. Sulawesi is a beautiful island and you may wish to explore via hire care. Please note that you should obtain an international driving licence in your own country if you wish to drive in Indonesia. Day excursions from the project Mount Klabat Hike 35-40 minutes drive from the project The highest peak in the Minahasa region (1,995m) with a spectacular view to the coasts and islands all around, Klabat is a popular hike for local residents as the trail is in good condition. It is possible to complete the climb as a day hike, although the 1,750 m elevation gain with a steep and steady climb makes this quite challenging. Four to six hours are required for the ascent and approximately four hours for the descent. Tangkoko-Duasudara Batuangus Nature Reserves 1.5 hour drive from project Tangkoko is particularly attractive as its unique wildlife can be observed roaming free in the forest on easy level walks, such as the critically endangered Macaca Nigra – also known as black crested macaque – the nocturnal Spectral Tarsier, and various bird species, like the Sulawesi Knobbed Hornbill. Masarang Sea Turtle Project 1 hour drive from the project This project provides the unique opportunity to support sea turtle populations from a small beach in North Sulawesi. Visitors will not see turtles held captive in tanks or have any opportunity to touch turtles, as the programme is focussed on increasing wild populations that already suffer too much human disturbance. If you do a night safari, there may be the chance to witness hatchlings emerging from the nest and going to sea. It may even be possible to witness turtles nesting during March-September, but this is often difficult as the presence of visitors can deter the turtles from coming to shore. Minahasa Highlands 1.5 hour drive from the project This is an excursion of breath-taking scenery heading through the city of Tomohon, known locally as the ‘city of flowers’. It sits at about 900m in elevation in a saddle between two volcanoes: Mt Lokon and Mt Mahawu. You can visit the local market and see the traditional Minahasa wooden houses, or stroll around the sulphurous Lake Linow near Lahendong Village, or visit Pulutan Village – the centre of local pottery. Easy climbs up to the crater rim of Mahawu volcano are possible for views to Lokon-Empung and beyond. Useful local contacts You will be provided the essential project contact details in your travel confirmation email from Globalteer. Here are some general phone numbers and addresses for your stay in Indonesia. The project will be able to provide recommendations for health care clinics and hospitals if necessary upon your arrival.

You can read more about getting your visa on our website. Travel insurance Insurance is not included in your volunteer placement fee. Travel insurance is only a boring subject if you are unlucky enough to get sick or injured, or find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere on your big trip. Being uninsured in such situations can work out much more expensive than the cost of an insurance premium and can also be dangerous. In developing countries reliable healthcare and emergency treatment can be hard to find, and extremely expensive for foreigners. This is why we strongly recommend that all our volunteers take out suitable travel insurance.

Vol. 12(2), p. 543-554 Isolation and Identification of Thermophilic Bacteria, Producer of Amylase Enzyme, from Lake Linow, North Sulawesi Suddin Simandjuntak1 and Mokosuli Yermia Samuel2 1Professor of Microbiology, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Manado State University, Tondano, Minahasa, North Sulawesi. 2Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Manado State University, Tondano, Minahasa, North Sulawesi. http://dx.doi.org/10.22207/JPAM.12.2.13 (Received: 11 April 2018; accepted: 10 May 2018) Thermophilic bacteria live at temperatures above 450 C. Many investigations focused on their potential as sources of highly active enzymes ‘termostable enzyme’ and other products such as antibiotics and compatible solutes. Lake Linow is an active volcanic lake located in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Lake Linow becomes the habitat of thermophilic bacteria. A study has been conducted to obtain isolates of thermophilic bacteria and to screen for the potential of thermostable amylase enzymes produced by thermophilic bacteria, Linow lake isolates. Stages of research that have been done are bacterial isolation, thermotolerance test, morphological analysis, biochemical test and amylase activity screening. The results of this research were obtained six isolates that can survive at 450C and three isolates that can survive at 550C. Two bacterial isolates showed amylolytic activity at a temperature of 550 C - 60 0 C. Thus, isolate thermophilic bacteria from Linow lake, potentially as a source of thermostable amylase enzyme.

Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province. [email protected], E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. Keywords: geothermal, education, strategy ABSTRACT Development of Lahendong Geothermal Education Park as an area for tourist destination and study about geothermal has been repeatedly presented in various national and international scientific forums and even in informal discussions and exhibitions on geothermal. It is known that the Lahendong geothermal field is located in the city of Tomohon North Sulawesi Province. Today it has a production capacity of approximately 80 MW, capable of supplying approximately 40 percent of the electrical energy in the province. The problem faced by geothermal development in North Sulawesi or even in Indonesia is a deficiency of skilled employers capable to work professionally. Many parties have been committed to building the park, but the fact to implement the commitment that has been made is not enough just to give a statement, but it is a start and working on it is a really difficult thing. Geothermal potential in Tomohon has been proven, supported by a convenient location, so the area is ideal for a Park and to become a geothermal educational and information center, in Indonesia, but unfortunately this dream is far from reality to come true.

The results of the study show that Linow Lake is a natural tourism object which is potential to be developed to support local government revenue and local community welfare. Linow Lake is a geological phenomenon having high natural resources and biodiversity thus; its development needs to consider the nature preservation aspects. The local government has developed an incentive system in order to accelerate sustainable tourism at Linow Lake. However, local community feels that the system does not run well. The local people think that non-physical aspects, such as management, need to be improved more professionally. In addition, intensive training and education related to the management of tourism objects, like Linow Lake, is indispensable.
