Faced with difficulty in finding references to learn the Sasak language, Jason Kelly, 55, and Andrew Friend, 34, were inspired to compile a Sasak-Indonesian-English dictionary. They explored villages to absorb a wealth of vocabulary.

Jason, who is an Australian, discussed his first visit to Lombok in 1997 on a honeymoon with wife Anne Kelly. The experience prompted him to pray that someday he could return to Lombok and learn the Sasak language. Five years later, Jason’s prayer came true when he enrolled in a teacher exchange program in Lombok.
