Charity in Lebih Village Gianyar

On October 25th, all team in Private Leisure International departed from our office at Pura Banyu Kuning Street and headed directly to Lebih Village in Gianyar. The village is the spotlight for our charity project this month. Our target is four poor families, families that in their everyday life live just for struggling. Work hard so that tomorrow and the next days ahead they or their children can eat.

The first family was the family of Ibu Siti Aminah and Bapak Haryanto from Banyuwangi. They live in a hut with two rooms, one as their bedroom area and another one as their requirements chamber. The tiny space in their bedroom area is able to accommodate one bed only with no mattress. The next-door room is where they put all their belonging, whether it foods, clothes, anything.

This married couple had two children but only their youngest live with them. Their first-born child lives with their grandmother in their hometown. Their youngest now sit in his first year at local elementary school.

The second family was the family of Bapak Gusti Lanang Santra. He and his wife were bestowed with two little boys. The older brother named Agus and the second one is Dek Nik. They live not too far away from Bapak Haryanto. Bapak Gusti is a farm worker who takes care of his boss rice field and at the same time also raising his boss cows.

Both families received mattress, staple food, and some children toys. There had been several visits to this village asking about what they need or what the children wish to have, that is why Agus got his pair of new shoes.

Those two families just hope for a better life ahead while keep trying hard in these present days. Pak Gusti Lanang also wishes their children could have a proper education. He said that he is able to manage more hard to fulfill their household necessities though it will take differently with their children education. He hoped that his children would be able to have a proper education.

The next family is quite far from these two families so we drive our car once again and meeting the family of Bapak Widarta and Ibu Made Mewastini. They both have three little children. The older daughter is now in her fourth year in elementary school. The other two are a four years old daughter and a 2 years old baby boy. The father of this family is also a labor.

Together with his wife, they are also raising ducks. They have a house but it not theirs, it lend to them.

None of those families we visited owned the land or the hut they lived on, all lent. The same for the last family we visited. It was family of Bapak Wayan Cenik with his wife and his two daughters. When first visited them, this was the family with no electricity but when we went on October 25th, there is a nice neighbor willing to share their electricity access. What make us sad looking this family is that one of the room where the father or sometime his sister in law sleep are side by side with duck coop.

To the last two families, instead of giving them mattress we replace it with dish rack while the remaining are the same staple foods and children toys. We give them so little and they greet us with so much happiness radiating from their faces.

After visiting all those families, we headed back to Denpasar. All this experience nothing but give many to think and to understand about. That we are in a far more better situation with them, that no matter how small it is, our help our and our genuine intend to help others can bring smile, laugh or even tears of happiness. And we who give something for others also at the same time left us with a warm feeling in our heart, an irreplaceable one.
