My Scholarship entry - Seaweed farmers Nusa Lembongan

A woman carries seaweed from the main farming area on Nusa Lembongan.The seaweed is farmed to be sold to huge wealthy cosmetic companies, yet the farmers are very poor and live in basic shelters. Only two kilometers away on the other side of the island thousands of tourists sun themselves in fancy resorts. They are possibly using the expensive products the seaweed is farmed for, oblivious to were it comes from.
