Charity Update - Another Great Day in Pengalusan

The Bali Dynasty Management team visited Pengalusan recently, one of the hamlets in East Bali which the Bali Dynasty supports through the East Bali Poverty Project.

The occasion was the children’s Indonesian Independence Day celebration on the 17th of August that they put on for all their families. There are fun sports activities between the different schools and each school presents a cabaret show.

From Sanur we headed North East towards Mount Agung on a cool crisp clear day for the one and a half hour journey. The scenery is stunning with the mighty Mount Agung dominating the landscape. The children had set up their sports and stage area at a dry river bed as they do each year.
We arrived just in time for the flag raising ceremony with all the children dressed in their pristine school uniforms standing in orderly lines saluting their flag and singing their national anthem.

All very formal, but very moving. After the formalities the sports activities began with sack racing, cracker eating and a few other traditional games.

Then we all moved to the stage area where we were treated to cabaret shows from the different schools. The children have really grown in both music and dance. Some of the Children’s art was also on display, some of the drawings were breathtaking, so much colour. 
A great day, an emotional day, but to see the kids again was a delight.
