Welcome to the August Edition of the Bali Dynasty Resort E-newsletter.

August brought the Independence Day spirit to the resort as we commemorated the 71st Indonesia Independence Day. The celebration at the resort was joyful as we organised numerous staff games, a blood donation and other fun activities.

In this edition, we’d like to share the exciting news about the soft opening of Menjangan Dynasty Resort, an exclusive all-tented boutique retreat in North Bali, on the 1st of September 2016. The Ashoka Spa is also offering a special package for dads which will make a perfect gift for Father’s Day.

Since we published in our previous newsletter the request for more QVs and Aquaphor from Solemen to treat those with skin problems, we have received very positive feedback and already starting to receive donations in the resort .

We hope that you enjoy reading through our newsletter and find the information useful. Remember that you can always visit www.balidynasty.com to check our latest offers and promotions. See you soon!

Charity Update

Meet Arini, Our New SoleBuddy

Arini is an aspiring student who aims to become a nurse. She just graduated from junior high school and would have liked to enrol to a vocational school specialising in nurse training immediately. Unfortunately her family has only a very little income and continuing her study would be a big burden for the family.

Therefore, we adopted her as one of our SoleBuddies, our charity that helps people in need for an ongoing period of time. We provide a full scholarship for her three years of nurse training.

Arini has already begun her studies at SMK Kesehatan Vidya Usadha in Singaraja. It is our hope that she can flourish in the school and be a good nurse which later on will be able help many people in need—a ripple effect of kindness.


Bali Dynasty Resort Supported Solemen’s Wheelchair Training

On the 27th – 29th of July, as a part of our commitment to help alleviate the suffering of the disadvantaged, Bali Dynasty Resort hosted Solemen’s wheelchair for kids training in our Staff Training Room.

The training was conducted by a team of volunteers from Wheelchairs for Kids in Perth, Western Australia. Ten students comprised of the representatives from YPAC Bali (the institute for physically and mentally handicapped children in Bali), Global Village and the Solemen were taught how to measure and fit the wheelchairs for the children. This much needed training will enable more children to receive wheelchairs and be monitored regularly as they grow or their needs change.

“10 more trained fitters means more kids with wheels and mobility in Bali,” said Robert Epstone, the founder of Solemen. “Thank you for everyone involved in the training, from the trainers, the participants and also the WFK team in Perth for making the chairs and the training possible.”

Solemen a Bali-based Indonesian registered non-profit foundation working alongside accredited agencies and projects to alleviate suffering and support to the disadvantaged in Bali. Its cooperation with Bali Dynasty Resort was introduced during the Back to Bali Dynasty Party in February 2016 in Perth. Ever since, the resort has actively engaged in adopting SoleBuddies, which are the people that the resort will support for an extended period of time, as well as doing fundraising through the popular twice a week Gracie Kelly’s Quiz Night and fun activities at the resort.
