Upcoming Launch for Projek Bali Kids
Children at Blimbinsari Orphanage, Bali
15 February 2012
Bali is an island deeply embedded in the psyche of all Australians - known for cheap holidays and our worst terrorist attack. But most people are unaware that very few Balinese benefit from tourism dollars. Most are Hindu peasant farmers struggling to survive, feed their families and educate their children.
Now Anglican Aid has begun a partnership to care for the orphans of the Indonesian Island. The partnership is with Widhya Asih, a development arm of the Protestant Church of Bali, which provides family and pastoral care and education for almost 500 Balinese children at its seven orphanages scattered throughout the island. The project is called Projek Bali Kids.
The Project aims to help the orphanages develop greater sustainability through a range of income-generating activities plus water purification, bio-power generation and agricultural development initiatives.
As it is linked to Anglican Aid's Overseas Development Fund, donations to the project are tax deductible. Anglican Aid is aiming to have more than 1000 Autsralian donor partners within the next four years.
On Saturday, 10 March, Anglican Aid will launch this exciting new project . Come along to learn more and enjoy quality Balinese cuisine!
6:30 for 7pm at Annandale Anglican Church, Cnr Johnston and Booth Streets, Annandale. $50 per person. To book, please call (02) 9284 1406.
