WHO WE ARE

Adopt a family is a Bali-based community initiative helping families in need, who are unable to make a living during the COVID – 19 pandemic. Life in Bali changed dramatically since the outbreak of the virus. Especially, the impact of no tourism has led to a significant rise in unemployment amongst local people who have no access to welfare. This has already resulted in widespread poverty across the island. Instead of being able to stay safe at home, they are forced onto the streets and into unsafe situations to try to earn some money. Debbie Huang, like many people who live in Bali, was disturbed by what she saw on the streets. Her strong belief in making a difference in the lives of children and their families led her to challenge her thinking on what she could do if she could rally support from those who had the means to help. It all started with her vision to feed Gojek drivers, who often do not earn enough for themselves let alone their families, through a local soto and ayam warong. The aim was to feed 50 drivers and have them survey their families and neighborhoods for those in dire need. A secondary aim was that the warong would be doing enough business to stay functional. Starting with a small fund and the support of Debbie’s family and some good friends who gave her the courage to begin, Adopt A Family was able to give out its first 50 packages within a week of surveying the Gojek drivers. By this time a WhatsApp group had collected a diverse group of innovative people who helped get the charity off and running. By enlisting not only the donations but the ideas and skills of a range of people, Adopt-A-Family grew quickly. Instagram and Facebook accounts were created to spread the word and seek donations. In less than a week a further 60 families were supported. By the third week, 250 families from Denpasar to Gianyar, families who scavenged on the dump for recyclables, and the unemployed were on the list of families receiving support. A team of willing and dedicated team of volunteer delivery people were on the ground, and donations were rolling in. By the time we held this press media, AAF had been working for 90 days where we were able to support more than 1100 families in Bali.

WHO WE HELP

The families we help are some of the lowest-paid workers in Bali. They have come to rely on the flow on effect of the tourism industry C/G/I-15 Jan 20 and were some of the first to be hit when that stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These are people you may see in your daily life. Gojek and Grab drivers. Foragers and collectors at the rubbish dump or along streets looking in bins. The pandemic has left all of them with little or no work and thieir wages have dried up to as little as IDR 25,000 (US$ 1.50) a day. Or worse yet they return home, after a long and fruitless day, empty handed. These are the families that were living hand to mouth before the pandemic and now find the hand and the mouth both quite often empty.

WHAT THEY GET HOW CAN PEOPLE PARTICIPATE

This will go towards advancing our mission of bridging the support for families and children, and empowering families and young people to engage with their goals.If you would like to speak to us about arranging a legacy donation, or for any other reason, please contact us using the details below.

Rice water is a mild fertiliser and consistent use could take the worry out of over fertilising. The starches from leftover rice water will help encourage beneficial soil bacteria, while the vitamins and minerals will add small amounts of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) to the soil. Obviously, you should wait until the water has cooled before you start to use it on the plants. In fact, using any sort of water left over after cooking or steaming vegetables, cooking pasta or boiling eggs would be beneficial for the garden as long as too much salt hasn’t been added.

Nengah Macika’s Story Macika was a healthy baby until three months of age when he developed high fever and suffered several seizures. Since then, Macika’s growth and mobility have been affected. He is also non-vocal and struggles to communicate with his family. Until 2004, when the East Bali Poverty Project established monthly parent-baby health posts in neighboring Cegi, there were no health facilities near Ben village, where Macika lives. In 2005, the East Bali Poverty Project found a volunteer professional massage therapist who trained Macika’s parents to give him daily massages, but he has shown little improvement. While Macika’s mobility remains restricted, his new all-terrain bamboo wheelchair means that he can now get around more freely. www.ecolivingbali.com https://www.eastbalipovertyproject.org https://www.eastbalibamboobikes.com By Anita Copyright © 2019 Bali Advertiser You can read all past articles of BA Feature Article at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz C/Ho/G-1 Jan. 20

TOKO BUKU Everyday Balinese By I Gusti Made Sutjaja

The dialogs are presented twice in two different speech levels consisting of almost entirely different words. Depending upon whom you are talking to, separate vocabularies are used in Balinese. The first version, denoted “A,” represents the lumrah or common tongue. The second, denoted “B,” is alus or refined Balinese. There are actually six different speech levels from the highest alus singgih used to address priests and rajas down to the lowest forms, Bahasa Kasar (common languages), which includes not only lumrah but the andap and wake everyday languages used all over Bali by children, young people and for some reason by the inhabitants of northern Buleleng District. Each lesson on food, greetings, shopping, money, finding your way, etc. contains a list of words in both lumrah and alus forms, followed by their Indonesian and English translations. In these sections, you’re able to compare the different words and expressions of the two speech levels in column format. These vocabulary lists repeat and reinforce the words and expressions used in the dialogs. The most difficult part of learning Balinese are the different speech levels, even though they follow much the same grammatical rules. The differences lie in word choice. For example, there are three different words for “eat,” depending upon the circumstances and who you are addressing. In the most refined language (alus), it is ngerayun. In the second level (lumrah), it is ngajeng. In the lowest speech level, the word for “eat” is ngamah. Lumrah words are used when participants of equal social status are conversing. It reflects intimacy and informality among its users. Alus words are

Everyday Balinese is a concise and user-friendly guide to the Balinese language targeted to anyone who wishes to learn colloquial Balinese. There are 23 lessons (not exercises) in this course book, each with a dialog that centers around daily life. These realistic beginner conversations are a great way to learn Balinese as it is really spoken. Though tending to be a bit dry, the dialogs are easy to follow and cover realistic situations.

A natural age-related change might be making a bad decision from time to time, like buying something you didn’t need. 9.

Changes in Mood and Personality – sometimes people with Alzheimer’s become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious.

A normal age-related change might come from developing specific ways of doing things and becoming irritable when that routine is disrupted.

It’s important to find a specialist who understands the elder brain. Bob and I were given misinformation by a psychiatrist and neurologist because they didn’t know much about dementia.

Tanya Dokter (Ask the Doctor) and KlikDokter let people send questions about health problems that are answered by general practitioners and specialists, usually within 24 hours.
