Hito all BTF's
I have spent the day in Wayan;s company with my family for the 3 trip i brought up these issues today with Wayan and if you could see the look of dissappointmwnt on his face to have people think he is a liar you would know he is telling the truth.
To all his would be knockers these are the facts
1 Wayan did work for bali Budaya tours he doesn;t deny this .
2 Yes he did leave to start up his own company Bali Baik Tours which is totally Balinese owned and run.
3 His sponsorship of his local school is called SD NO 3 Petulu Laplapan correct we have visited and met the Headmaster and teachers and they are so happy with the donations and money towards the English teachers to help better the children and i have no doubts my donations of goods are there as i saw them today.
4 Yes he does have a Canadian friend who offered advice and helped him find clients through their friends NO FINANCIAL BACKING.
5 As for the resturant and western toilets that other companies tell people about about Wayan has all this at his personal home compound NOT at a
public place and you get to see how a Balinese family live in beautiful surroundings.
6 Wayan employs in excess of 15 local people from his village and surrounding areas and i have met them all they do exist
.
I have come to the internet cafe in Ubud as i feel a very decent and honest man is being unfairly judged by people who have not spoken to him to ask his side of the story.
Thanks for your time in reading and contact Wayan if you feel the need he has nothing to hide.
