hi Pauline,
We sponsor a couple of kids thru the John Fawcett Foundation. They at situated in Sanur and have an education programme as well as medical covering laser cataract, cleft palette in babies etc etc etc.
They have many doctors from all over come and donate their time and expertise to help. $50 AU will pay for a cataract operation on an adult so they can see again....$100 will pay for a child to attend school for 1 year. You are right...it is a wonderful feeling to help and to meet your sponsored child. We have met both of ours at their village...very humbling is all I can say. We, like many people, love Bali and it's wonderful people...probably the reason we just keep going back!
Take care and keep up the good work.
