Hi everyone i was just wondering if any one has volunteered at Bali volunteer house before? i am thinking of doing this for a month just want to know if there is any others like this where you can help out with the kids in Bali
I do not want to discourage you in helping the needy,but there were numerous articles in the press and maybe also on this forum(i will have to check)about the majority of Balinese orphanages where the collected funds and goods do not or barely benefit the children but the family of the owner.Do a google search before committing to a place and keep critical.
Added later:
I found this link.it is linking to an article of "Greenspeak",Ibu Kat from the Bali Advertiser:
The link i pasted is not working,so try this:
http://www.baliadvertiser.biz/articles/greenspeak/2010/orphanage.html
In the list of articles in the baliadvertiser it is not to be found any more,i wonder why?Too controversial?
Once more,for sure there are plenty of honest places,just do not leave your common sense at home.
