On August 24, 2014 we had the opportunity to visit The Senang Hati Foundation in Gianyar Bali Indonesia. It is a non-profit organization for disabled people living on the island of Bali. It a place where disabled people can live, take classes and socialize. While doing some research, my brother Evan and I discovered that they were in need of some important items. Some of the items included clothing, bedding, cutlery, equipment for activities, and a pig. Since we figured we couldn't get a pig on a plane, we decided to bring clothing and some lacrosse sticks. We were so warmly greeted by the residents. They ran down to the street as we arrived! They were so happy to get the new clothes and they quickly picked their favorite items. Flip flops were a hit! They loved the lax equipment. They had never heard the word "lacrosse" and they kept calling it "motocross." Evan and I showed them how to play catch with the sticks and they had so much fun.
We learned a lot about the Balinese and Hindu culture during our time there. The Hindu people believe in reincarnation and they believe that good deeds in this lifetime produce good karma which helps in your next life. I wish them many happy lifetimes!
Namaste!
