- Financial support - If you will be going to Bali and are planning a visit to the Orphanage, you can give a donation directly to the Sisters in the Office. They will provide you a receipt for your donation and usually mail you a thank you letter to your home address. If you will not able to visit but would still like to make a donation, you can make a secure online donation through the PayPal link in the right hand column of any page on this site. No administration fees are taken out of your donation, all of the money directly impacts the children’s needs.

Please attach your resume along with a photo of yourself. My email address is charlie@highsierrawoodcarvings.com

Hello I will be in Bali from 16/6/10 until 24/6/10 and would like to visit the children. Could you please let me know a good time to come? Also what could I bring for the children? I am in a wheelchair and will my carers be able to push me around the orphange area with not too much trouble. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Heather Joyce
Heather, After one in the afternoon is a good time to visit if you are coming during the week. As for using a wheelchair- there are cement paths and tiled floors throughout the facilities so it will not be a problem at all. I will forward this to Dewa as well as he will more than likely give you a tour. He can also let you know if there is any specific needs at the moment. Thank you so much for writing, Charlie
