Bali Dynasty Resort Sponsors Solemen House

Tuban, 1 August 2017 - Following the success of the Solemen Charity Car (a courtesy car that transports the needy and their families from the remote areas of Bali to the hospital) in January 2017, Bali Dynasty Resort continues to help the disadvantaged by sponsoring the Solemen House in Renon, Denpasar. Officially opened on Monday, 31 July 2017, the house is fully operated by the non-profit charity foundation Solemen Indonesia. The house is a massive help for the poor and their families who live far away from the hospital, and for whom basic needs such as sleeping or bathing are a rare extravagance.

The house features four bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, a living room and a communal kitchen with running water and electricity. To complete the house, the Bali Dynasty Resort has also donated many of the furnishings, including beds, TV, fridges and more. Located on Jalan Tukad Oos in Renon, the house is within close proximity to the Sanglah Hospital, the main and most complete hospital facility in Bali. Transfer to and from the hospital is easily organised at no cost via Bali Dynasty Resort’s charity car, which is operating every day.

In July 2017, Bali Dynasty Resort also funded a project to build toilets and shower blocks for an impoverished community of 26 people in Gerokgak, North Bali. Previously, the families had to use the beach and the sea as a toilet.

Bali Dynasty Resort’s charity commitment with Solemen started in 2016 under the tagline “HELP FRIENDS FOR LIFE”. To date, the Resort has committed to assist five SoleBuddies with their ongoing long term care and education, while at the same time assisting many individuals with one-off donations such as wheelchairs, prosthetic legs and medical treatments, all of which have had a great impact on the individuals’ lives. The money is raised through various fundraising efforts such as everyday poolside games, donation boxes around the Resort, the voluntary $2 donation when checking out, and the twice-weekly Charity Quiz Night at Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub, held every Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30pm, at which everyone is welcome.
