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.

Our New Team!

Greetings from Taman Village, Bali! We are having our new teams here and would love to introduce them to everyone on the web. They are all very talented and creating an amazing work of art. Most of them are shortly very happy to be involved in creating the beaded baskets and having mostly one motivation in making extra money, killing their free time from their main job. Whatever that's being their motivation of participating in the crafting but it is lovely to keep their creativity more alive. The school children have plenty of free time after school and very happy to spend their time to create those baskets and making their own pocket money. They all very happy to be provided with free writing books and other school stationaries. We wish that we are going to be able to provide more for them from the works that we are created and it is lovely to be able to do something for others.

Some of our Christmas Collections

I have been quit busy taking people around for tours around Bali so I haven’t got a chance to update our blog. We are all still keeping ourselves busy with our beading workshop and have created more works that we would love to let them go for the upcoming Christmas. We hope that people would consider them great for their Christmas Gift.

Kids have been busy with examination for their graduation and haven’t been around lately as we want them to give all their time for their studies. Our young mothers are still having lots of time to do the beading and they have been coming up with all these beautiful works.

School holiday will be coming soon and we are sure that we will come up with more works as kids will have more time to make their baskets.

Please have a look at our new works! Thanks for having sometimes to look at our blog.

New Pieces-Beaded Easter Eggs

We love to introduce our Easter Eggs that we have beaded on a medium of Balsa wood that grows locally in Bali. It is quit new to us as we normally do our beadworks on rattan woven basketries. The local farmers farm the trees for handicrafts industries for about 15 years now and they grow perfectly with our climates here in Taman Village. It is so easy for us to get the material in our village and we are very happy to try this new works and wish that it is going to have a place in everyone who loves about art and craft. We are so proud to share with you our Beaded Easter Eggs. We make them in size of 2.36 in diameter and the height of 3.15 inches. We know that we have to do a lot of test for this new media but it seems that it goes fine so far and it is much lighter than the rattan baskets. It was hard at first to bead them but we have figured out the way to do it and here is what we have created. We will be very happy to get any feedbacks, suggestions and advice on our new pieces. Happy Beading!
