Charity Updates - Cintya needs your help. Care to be her SoleMate?

Cintya, aged 12, is a very bright and diligent student who lives in Sanur with her grandparents and her four-year-old brother.

The family has a very little family income as neither the grandparents work. Her little brother, Kadek Aditya, suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy, her Grandfather suffered a stroke a few years ago. Therefore Ibu Deri (the grandmother) cares for them all.

We have started to sponsor Cintya and Aditya as our SoleBuddies— the ones that the charity effort commits to for an extended ongoing period of time.

Cintya is now in her first grade in SMP Wisata Sanur (a junior high school level). In addition to her studies at school, she wishes to do a private English course as she is keen to maximise her education. She believes that with good education, she will be able to make a difference to her family. The English course will cost approximately 2 million IDR per year.

If you are keen to help Cintya to pursue her dreams, please become her SoleMate. Contact us at gmsec@balidynasty.com for further information on how you can help!
