Komang Sarira returned to the Rotary Club of Bali Lovina to update us with details of “Yayasan Bali Sejahteraâ€, a foundation set up to help disabled people to learn life skills.
He thanked our Club for a donation that helped start up a library.
He reminded us of the Vision, Mission, and Programs that he had told us about last time he visited as a speaker on March 11 this year.
Here are the slides from Komang's talk. (8.8 MB somay take several minutes to download)
He told us that while they were getting valuable help from other groups, this was mainly the use of facilities and the time of people helping. So far they have not been successful in getting financial sponsors. This means that some objectives have not yet be realized - for example, their hope to provide computer training has not made progress yet because htey don't have the funds for a computer.
President Robbie said that the Board had decided to donate50% of the funds raised at our Xmas party to Yayasan Bali Sejahtera. At this stage we don't know how much we will raise, but hopefully we will be able to help with a computer.
