Day 7: Suwung and Bali Life Open House

Good evening everyone! This is Karah reporting about today, today was an eye opening day filled with some sadness but also fun times and exicitement

We first went to a the Suwung Community School run by Bali Life which was located in the mountain of rubbish in which we the students, were exposed to the lives of the hidden part of Bali and were able to interact with the local community and have a great time completing different activities with the kids.

After a brief break at the hotel we trotted off to the the first bali home for the Friday night open house. We spent the evening playing games and sports building on the the bonds created on Wednesday. We also said our final goodbyes to the kids that we will not see in church on Sunday. What an eventful day for the kids.

Day 6: Kuta Street Centre

Today I over slept again and missed the run with mr johnstone I could tell he was seriously disappointed as he even sent a meme on the group chat about being upset. After this small mishap, we headed off early to do some activities at the kuta with the children. We had some very enjoyable moments playing games and drawing pictures of iconic australian animals, the nutbush even made an appreriance (a dress rehearsal for tomorrows performance). After this we said goodbye and sadly left the street centre. We then headed back for some rest time and then headed out for an early dinner before meeting up with the bali life foundation to hand out food and get to know some of the locals street kids and mothers who where grateful to receive some support. The Bali Life staff also gave their time to promote their Kuta Street Centre in an aim to give kids an education.

Very excited for tomorrow,

Day 5: Meeting Bali Life

Today some of us started the morning with a run along the beach (Vayda, Sam, Gabby, Emily, Lucy and Mr Johnstone). After that, we had breakfast at the hotel and got ready for the day. Today we went to the Bali life foundation and met all the family. We spent time with them learning their games, playing sports, watched a traditional dance and some even got their hair braided. While at Bali Life we enjoyed a lunch together which made everyone feel welcomed into the home.

After getting back from the bali life, we got ready for our activities tomorrow at the Kuta Street Kids Centre and Womens Workshop. We then headed to the beach, where we played vollyball in the water.

After a quick rest we headed out for dinner.
