Flores findings
Flores is an island that is different from most other parts of Indonesia. Unlike the majority of Indonesia, the main religion is not Islam but Catholicism. More than 80 % of the population are Catholics.
The Church has a strong role in most peoples’ lives, but still the old traditions are very strong and with a significant impact on societal development. This became quite evident for us as we split into three groups to cover main areas and cultures of the island, in the districts of West Manggarai, Ngada, and Ende.
