Ni Luh Susanti

I was born in Bali-Indonesia on December 28th, 1995 and right now is studying at the local secondary school which is around 3 kilometers from my home. I am spending my free time before school to bead to make extra money and also want to be creative in my spare time but of course my school homeworks in my priority but still there are plenty of time for me to bead. I go to school at noon as I am still at grade 1 of secondary. It is only the students of grade 2 and 3 that go to school in the morning. I would be using my couple hours free time in the morning to create the beaded baskets.

I am very happy to have an opportunity to have a part time job which is kind of hard here in my country as a student. I love being able to make some money by myself to help my parents who are only a traditonal farmer.

I was born on Monday, May 10th, 1971. I am married with kids and live in Bali-Indonesia. I am a housewife and having another small business opening a little shop that sells food and drink at the local school. I am having some free time while waiting for my shop when the school kids are back in the class room after breaks, so I would my free time at the shop to bead, making extra money for my family and my kid's education.

It is actually fun to hand strung the tiny seeds beads onto the rattan basket to loose my boring and lonely when the kids are back in the class. The school kids are the only customers that I have in my shop where they come to the shop when they have a hreak time to have little snacks.
