Ni Nyoman Tinawati Back To School!


Dear Everyone,
We are very happy to share a great news of one of the girl in our team, Ni NyomanTinawati who has been back to Junior high school. We are sponsor her for going to Junior High School and now she is studying at SMP Negeri 4 Abiansemal at Bongkasa Village. She is so happy to be able to go to school after waiting for a year to have a chance to go to Junior high school and we are all praying that we are going to be able to fund for her to finish her for her Junior High school and more that we would love to send her to Senior High School in 3 years to come.

We love to acknowledge everyone on the web that education here in our country is indeed very expensive for many families. Tinawati comes from a farmers family and her parents are working for someone rice farm in Ubud, Bali and they share the harvest. Her parents are not making any regular cash income and will definitely never be able to send her to school. Just for information, she has to spend IDR. 1,550,ooo for the entrance fee which the descriptions are as follows; Building/Infrastructure Fee = IDR 650,000. ( It is the money that they use to build the infrastructure of the school like the building and probably also for the maintenance of the school buildings). IDR. 482,500 is for the Uniform. IDR. 40,000 for the writing books. IDR. 27,000 or the school ID Card and photograph. IDR. 12,000 for school Magazine. IDR . 37,500 for the Student Orientation fee. IDR. 300,000 is for a fee to get her in as she was too late to apply for the school.
Anyway, we are so happy to have her continuing her studies and making her dream comes true and wish that we can make more children's dreams coming true for the future, particularly whose coming from a poor family.
We thank you very much for anybody who have been so kind to help us to educate our children of Bali, the future generations of the planet.
