Annika Linden Foundation

Mark Weingard, the founder of the ALF, and the team at RESET Pte Ltd have generously donated to YKIP projects and administration since its inception. Funds for emergency relief for the victims of the October 1, 2005 bomb were also given by ALF and RESET. Annika Linden died in the Bali bombing on 12th October 2002 along with 201 other innocents. The Foundation was set up as a tribute to their lives in the belief that positive action is the only way to counter the negative impact of this event.

The ALF has donated over US $1,000,000 to YKIP over the past five years and has committed to an additional US $1,000,000 over the next three years. This funding makes it possible to support our on-going programs continuously and gives them the freedom to strengthen their current projects and work on new ones.

We are extremely grateful for their continuing support.

To commemorate our work, Mark Weingard has published the book YKIP'S JOURNEY: FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE 2002-2007, designed by Dream Digital of Singapore. This work showcases all of our past and present projects and is given out to our special donors as a thank you.



OUR NEW LOGO

Gilbert Quek of Dream Digital of Singapore has made our new logo. Retaining the helping hands theme, the colors have been changed to the earthy brown and stone grey to reflect the solid foundation we have grown into since 2002. Thanks, Gilbert!

YKIP is a foundation dedicated to improving the lives of the needy in Bali through Health and Education Projects. Established only days after the Bali Bomb Blast of October 12, 2002, YKIP's founders were business people, doctors, officials and volunteers who assisted during the crisis. It soon became evident that in order to accommodate the tons (literally) of medical supplies and monetary donations from well-wishers around the world, a transparent and responsible organization needed to be established. As many of our founders are members of Rotary International, we were able to establish YKIP as such an organization in the eyes of potential donors. We received endorsements from the Australian Ambassador to Indonesia, the diplomatic community in Bali, and the Governor of Bali. Our members come from a variety of faiths and from many different nationalities.

The founders set up and helped to organize the Bali Recovery Group which coordinated the work of the NGOs in the first six confusing months after the blast. All of YKIP's projects in 2002 and 2003 were related to the direct victims of the blast. However, most of their needs are now provided for. Based on the success of our initial projects in 2003 (Children's Education Fund, MREC or Medical Resource and Education Centre and the Wayang Kulit Trauma Counseling), YKIP has turned its focus to Health and Education issues--those projects that can improve the lives of the poor who live on Bali.

YKIP's role is to raise money for targeted projects on Bali and provide easy access for institutions and individuals to respond to as well as a trustworthy and transparent system to work with. Our efforts are intended as a living tribute to the 222 dead and 446 injured victims of the two blasts. read more

Sushrusa Playgroup is the first of its kind on Bali--a pre-school for the hearing impaired housed at LUMINA Clinic in Renon, Denpasar. Children from 3 - 6 are given Pocket Aids-special hearing aids for children--after being tested and fitted for their aids. Special needs teachers have been trained and the colorful classrooms have been in use since July 2007. The fifteen students had never been able to hear before and they and their parents are having a wonderful time learning together. Click here for more
In 2005, Gary Clements and Lucy Walter of Australia began sponsoring 30 children in the KEMBALI project. They started a small business called Bali Dreaming (www.balidreaming.com.au) with proceeds from sales going into the project.Read more.
Damien Thurber of Australia went up to Karangasem in 2007 and was devastated by the poverty he discovered there. He is now sponsoring a number of children there and with proceeds from his CD "Vow of Poverty" (www.vow.org.au) will continue his sponsorship. Details here.
 
ALF and RESET challenged our donors to a $15,000 matching grant for YKIP- YKIDS (education of bomb victim children) last July and we've made our goal! Thank you to ALF, RESET, Hong Kong Football Club Bali Fund, Kalyana Shira Films, the Greg Sanderson Memorial Fund, Tom Chandra, Scott Anderson, and William Ackerman. We still need US $159,000 to send all these children to university, so keep those donations climbing.

A grand time was had by all and YKIP - YKIDS is grateful to the Melia Benoa and their staff for a wonderful time!
