David Booth worked in at least 8 different countries. In 1989 he decided to settle in Indonesia. The British engineer chose to live here because this country, and especially the people, stole his heart: 'the Indonesian people are good from the heart, generous from the soul and care for others'. He founded the East Bali Poverty Project (EBPP) with all of his life savings. He has been executive director ever since and has designed many projects for this foundation together with a team of 104 local people.
