YKIP BENEFACTOR VISIT
From April 26 – 30, ALF Dirctor Mark Weingard and his colleagues Phil Bergman and Kurt Heck came to Bali to attend the Annual General Meeting of the YKIP board as well as visit many of the projects that they fund. Mark plans to come to Bali 3-4 times a year to see how his sponsored projects are progressing and to provide input. This was a fantastic opportunity for donors and grantees to get together and discuss their plans for the future.

Yayasan Kuta International Disaster Scholarship (YKIDS) consists of all the children of those who perished or were injured in the Bali bombings 2002 and 2005. Once a year, we gather all the bomb victim families together for a fun outing. In 2008, we chose the Desa Budaya Kerta Langu in Tohpati, Den Pasar which is a “cultural village” that sports a fishing pond), ceramics, candle making and glass blowing studios, an organic market, and a jogging track around ricefields. We took over the stage and restaurant area and the children made candles, played with ducks and participated in a quiz created by the COURTS volunteers.. School supplies were distributed; high scoring students were acknowledged, birthday gifts given out to all the children and lunch was served to all. Mas Purwanto, Marwata and Nanang were there with a spate of volunteers from COURTS INDONESIA and kept up the pace of the event. YKIP and COURTS have worked hand in hand with KIDS for five years now. YKIP would like to give a big thank you to all their volunteers for the work they do for the bomb victims.
