Piter Panjaitan is a father of two and the Director of BaliLife Foundation/ Yayasan Bukit Kehidupan Ungasan in Bali-Indonesia alongside his wife Lyna. He likes boxing, surfing and guitars, and helping people reach their maximum potential. BaliLife is focused on educational empowerment for underprivileged children, and giving hope, dignity and purpose to families. Piter is proud of BaliLife’s work and their ability to respond to disasters – after the tsunami, they were able to help 2,000 in partnership with GlobalGiving.
Piter is excited to share his specific expertise about disaster response in archipelago landscapes and is looking forward to learning from other Fellows about how BaliLife can go beyond disaster relief and into disaster recovery.
