My JBR
4 weeks Bali,
Arrival at DPS was like coming home.
After a long trip from Amsterdam via Singapore.
Warm, humid, smiling people, the smell of frangipani.
The big welcome of the staff of my hotel in Legian.
Whopper how are you, we missed you so much.
Also a big welcome at the family of my Godchild in the small desa near Tanah Lot.
I was so proud to be invited for dinner.
Ikan bakar( whole fish ), sateh ayam, bumbu katjang, ketimun, tomat, nasi putih,
air besar and a bottle of Fanta.
And for me: a spoon, a fork and a cloth to clean my hands.
Living in a Balinese house (compound) with father, mother, children, uncles, aunts, grandparents etc.
I brought presents for everyone, clothes, pens, schoolbooks, dolls, a big toiletbag with soap, hairgel,
shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, vitamins and a 2nd-hand laptop for the local school.
For grandfather: reading-glasses and for the kepala kampung a watch.
I also donated 50 euro's for a one year schoolfee for my Godchild.
Please, my little big Baliboy, go to school, education is important.
