In March, we had a visit from Sahra
Beckham, the manager of Ishka’s
store in Warrnambool, Victoria.
Sahra had the chance to see our BCF
students’ activities and visited several
families in North Bali Communities.
Ishka has been one of our valued corporate supporters
since 2014. They raise funds for Bali Children Foundation
through in store campaigns, including their current carry
bag fundraising program.
Presently, Ishka are sponsoring 45 children in North Bali
communities including a nurse in Tertiary studies

On the first day, Sahra joined the family visit with Calbee
Lim, Elizabeth Foo, and Patricia Ang from Caring and
Sharing, a charity community based in Singapore. They
visited 8 families who lived in Dencarik, Ambengan, and
Tegeha villages.
The families were all very welcoming!
The Village Open Day was also joined by BCF Admin Manager– Tineke Indrajaya, District BCF Manager– Wayan Anggriani, Project Manager – Prima Chandra.

For the second day, the first item on the agenda was visiting the
English and computer classes in Banjar. It was really nice to see that
all the students enthusiastically enjoyed their lessons.

Next, everyone went to Ambengan Bale Banjar to watch performances of Silat and Panyembrama dance performed by BCF
students. We also had a surprise
birthday celebration for our
CEO- Marg Barry!
Dance time! Sahra asked all of the children to dance with the theme to inspire them to dream big and never give up in life. The girls also taught her how to dance to the Indonesian Dangdut song “Sambalado.”

On her last day, Sahra visited a school in
Pegentengan where the EITV is held for children in
the community.
Unfortunately, the school was quiet because most
of the students had gone back home after classes.
One of the students she met was Komang.
Komang’s father had passed away and his mother
has suffered a stroke. He is now the main carer for
his mother because his
brother has to work during the day.
Sahra was amazed by how strong the young
boy is!

The visit was memorable. Every student and the families that Sahra met have different stories to tell and they have something in common: they are always grateful for their life and never forget to smile.
“I am so happy for myself and
Ishka to be part of this amazing
work,” she said.
