balinews Teens who were toddlers when they lost their parents to the 2002 Bali bombings are stepping up to honour them. A commemorative concert in Kuta on Monday night will feature song, dance and poetry from teens who barely remember the terrorism attack that claimed 202 lives. But they have grown up in its shadow, says Thiolina Marpaung, of the Isana Dewata Foundation, which supports 54 victims' families. Among them are nine people like herself, who suffered injuries from the blasts in Kuta's busy nightclub hub. Ms Marpaung says victims and their families want to remind the world they will never forget the incident and those who died. "The story of victims, the story of the bombing, will never fade away from my life, as long as I live," she told AAP. "The children who were only about two years old when their father or mother died - they're now grown up. "Now, they can explain their longing with how great they are at artistic expression." Isana Dewata is also supporting efforts to turn the former site of the Sari Club into a memorial peace park. Negotiations to buy what is now a run-down car park have stalled. Antony Svilicich from the Perth-based Bali Peace Park Association says his group is determined to see a fitting tribute at the site where so many died, including 88 Australians. "We will continue plugging away until we build the park to pay due respects and as a symbol of peace for the whole region," he says. Teens remember parents lost to Bali bombs | SBS News
