Reaching the Unreachable “There are over 250 million people in Indonesia living on 17,500 islands, many of them quite remote and virtually unreachable by regular transport. Seven million Indonesians are blind, and 4.6 million of these are cataract blind, a condition which is curable in most cases. With support from the Indonesian Air Force and its C-130 Hercules, we can now reach many of these isolated blind people and bring hope to them.�

Who We Are T
he John Fawcett Foundation (JFF) is a humanitarian not-for-profit organisation that assists needy people in Indonesia, particularly in the field of sight restoration and blindness prevention. JFF is registered in Australia, Indonesia, the United Kingdom and the USA.
What We Do JFF
offers its assistance to people in the lower socio-economic group free of charge and without religious, political or ethnic consideration. The Foundation’s humanitarian projects are based in Bali, Indonesia, and include Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention, Children’s Corrective Surgery, Prosthetic Eyes and Technology Transfer.
Where We Work W
hile JFF has active programs in Bali, its humanitarian projects extend to other Indonesian islands where people are impoverished and medical specialist services are scarce. The primary off-shore focus of JFF is the eastern islands which lie to the north of Australia where there are 10 million people living in poverty; however JFF also runs programs on other islands where there is great need.

Chairmen’s Reports
JFF Australia Chairman
Two teenagers, Ingky and Jumi, travelled to Perth for specialised burns treatment. This was a particularly satisfying experience and I warmly acknowledge the untiring efforts of the host families for the care and attention freely shown. Prosthetic eyes were fitted to 50 people, allowing them a more normal life in their villages. The difference in appearance and the improvement in confidence is remarkable, and this also applies to the cleft lip patients.
I
welcome this opportunity to present my report on the activities of 2015. The best place to start is by expressing grateful thanks to our generous donors and volunteers. Without them we could not exist. During 2015 we continued our core activities of cataract operations (2,338) making a total of almost 45,000 since the first one in 1991. Our skilled teams screened 60,800 people and identified those needing cataract operations and 46,000 who needed attention by way of spectacles and/or eye drops. The Children’s Corrective Surgery Project successfully treated 21 youngsters, including several who suffered serious burns.
We were presented with several challenges in 2015, the most notable occurring in June when Board Chairman Erik Metanomski, CEO LeRoy Hollenbeck and Board Secretary Renate Hamilton resigned following a meeting where Erik presented to the Board a series of ultimatums which were not acceptable to the majority. We have been able to overcome the setback, so much so that we now have a stronger team. We needed to recruit replacements and have been most fortunate in regaining the services of Penny Lane as our Coordinator. Three new Board members have been appointed to fill casual vacancies to the Board, namely Dean Bowker (previously Fund Raising Consultant) Richard Elsey (a reappointment) and
WIN JONES Chairman, JFF Australia

Kylie Harrison (an energetic and successful medical sales representative). Following all these developments, I was appointed Chairman of the Board and I have undertaken to do my utmost towards overseeing the continued success of our Foundation. Thank you to all the Board members, new and old, for their support and understanding. What of John Fawcett? This giant of a man leads his team with compassion and skill. Bali, Indonesia and the rest of the world owe him an overwhelming vote of thanks and appreciation for his extraordinary achievements over many years. Special mention of our Treasurer, Pat Emery, who volunteered to carry out the duties of Secretary in addition to his other work. The staff attached to the Bali office are skilled medical, administrative and domestic operators. They carry out their various duties in a happy, contented manner, displaying typical Balinese/Indonesian demeanour. We are fortunate to have such a great team. With your continued support we can expect and achieve a successful 2016.

JFF Indonesia Chairman operations performed. This success was achieved thanks to a motivated, professional team with the support of generous donors. All programs, have been carried out as reported by the Chairman of The John Fawcett Foundation (Aust) Mr Win Jones. We are so very proud that more and more people have been liberated from blindness in Indonesia through the services provided by JFF.
2
015 was a landmark year for the Indonesian Foundation, with the major step taken by the Board to change the name of Yayasan Kemanusiaan Indonesia to Yayasan John Fawcett Indonesia to continue the mission and vision into the future. The change in name was to bring the Indonesian foundation into line with the other JF foundations and to avoid confusion when working in Indonesia. During 2015, Yayasan John Fawcett Indonesia was able to provide services to poor patients in Bali and also in more remote and isolated areas of Indonesia such as Sulawesi, Papua, Java and Lombok, with a total of 2,338 free cataract
This success is thanks to the support of a working team that is dedicated and always places professionalism, discipline, motivation and loyalty highly so as to provide a service producing high-quality results. This is what makes JFF well-known and proud to fly its flag at the national level because it has proven that it can provide good performance and quality results. As an individual and as Chairman of the Indonesian Foundation I am very proud and hope that this good work will always continue and not falter, because there are many of our people who are blind and cannot afford treatment. We must remain concerned and always strive to be able to give them the very best for their lives. We should encourage others to care about this situation.
JFF has worked hard to achieve the involvement of government agencies and the private sector in the success of this humanitarian program, such as the Indonesian Air Force which, since 2010 has been helping JFF to expand its humanitarian services to remote areas of Indonesia. Others are the Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency, various Government Ministries and the District Heads and Governors in the areas where we are working. All of this has been achieved through the involvement and hard work of all parties in the JFF, including donors and other supporters. We wish to acknowledge our deeply-felt thanks to our donors and supporters, and the Board of The John Fawcett Foundation in Australia.

Message from John Fawcett J
FF has come out of 2015 in a better position than at the beginning of the year. Even with some administration disappointments through the year, we can now look to a more successful 2016. Strong decisions were needed to reduce costs. Certain programs had to be cut to meet the constraints of these reductions. Our focus now is on our two major programs, Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention and Children’s Corrective Surgery. We have developed strong links with other reliable foundations in Bali to assist people who need wheelchairs, amputee prosthetics, and other physical handicaps. In June 2016 we will reach the 25th anniversary of cataract surgery in the mobile eye clinic. A 27-year-old woman, Ketut Mandri, was the first patient operated, and now we are approaching our 46,000th patient operated. In 2016 we will reach our 1,000,000th patient who has been examined and screened for eye problems since we started on 9 June 1991. In Bali JFF did 67 two-day Adopt a Village Mobile Eye Clinic programs in 2015. These programs are funded by direct donations and have proved very successful. It is
clear that our delivery system of taking the service to the villages solves the cultural and physical handicaps of the visually-impaired who live in isolated communities, and that the system is successful outside Bali as well. The mobile eye clinic travels easily on interisland vehicular ferries and on a C130 Hercules with the good grace of the Indonesian Air Force. We also avoid the cultural taboos many in the lower socio-economic group in Indonesia hold regarding hospitals, which are associated with death and big expense. In addition to the economy of providing the mobile service, our system reduces congestion on the roads and overuse of vital hospital beds. The avoidable blindness backlog in Indonesia is growing with the increase in life expectancy, which increases the incidence of cataracts, diabetes, and glaucoma - all adding to a current total of over four million Indonesians with visual impairment requiring medical intervention, and 70% of these are cataracts – avoidable blindness. I am constantly amazed at the ability of the members of our team to travel to distant places and produce such high standards
of ophthalmic care, often in extremely difficult circumstances in these remote locations. It is with a great deal of pleasure that we welcome back Penny Lane who is helping in our Bali office. Penny has extensive experience with the Foundation, as many of you know, and has the capacity to help JFF to achieve an organised office and communicate more effectively with overseas donors by way of reporting and funding submissions. The future of JFF’s humanitarian work remains dependent on donations from government, business and private sources, and the JFF Boards will work hard to raise the necessary funds to continue this valuable humanitarian work. With our focus and funds now mainly directed towards the Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention Project, hopefully we can help even more blind people in need. It is always exciting to be present at the moment a cataractblind child sees for the first time, and to witness an adult, who has been blind for many years, see again with the family present.

Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention JFF’s flagship project and main focus There are 7 million blind people in Indonesia, and 4.6 million of these are cataract blind, a condition which is curable in most cases. However for most Indonesians the cost of a cataract operation is far beyond their financial capacity and they remain blind throughout their lives, a burden on their families and communities. JFF’s Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention Project
started in 1991 offering cataract surgery in a mobile operating theatre, free of charge for economically-disadvantaged people in the villages of Bali. JFF is committed to do as much as it can to eradicate curable blindness in Indonesia and to this end is seeking funding to expand its very successful mobile eye clinic model to other economicallydisadvantaged areas of Indonesia.

Children’s Cataract Surgery Nine cataract-blind children were operated by Dr Wayan Gde Dharyata in the Puri Raharja Hospital and Siloam Hospital, Denpasar, with assistance from
22 Annual Report 2015
volunteer anaesthetists from the Bali Anaesthetists’ Association. Six of the children were blind in both eyes, and three in one eye. Children with cataracts
undergo a general anaesthetic and are operated using Phacoemusification, a different technique than that used for adults in our program.

PROSTHETIC EYES T
he provision of a naturallooking artificial eye restores the confidence and dignity of the patient so that he or she can have a normal life, free from disfigurement and social stigma. In 2015 JFF’s prosthetic eye technician, Wayan Wijaya, made
8
artificial eyes for 50 patients in Bali and Lombok. Each prosthetic eye is custom-made by hand for the patients so that they look as natural as possible and move with the other eye, so much so that it is difficult to detect which is the artificial eye and which is the real eye.

HELENA COLLEGE PROGRAM
T
his Program was initiated in 1996 by John Fawcett and Mr Chris Brown who was a teacher of Indonesian at Helena College, Perth, at that time. The plan was to select two Balinese students each year who had just completed their secondary schooling in Bali and send them to Helena College for one term to experience life in Australia and to learn English and Computing, as well assisting in the Indonesian language and culture classes. The first Balinese student to benefit from the experience was Gede Bingin who has worked with John Fawcett since that time. Gede

20th year of the Program 2015 marked the 20th year of the Program. Since 1996, 31 young people have participated in this Program, returning to their island community enriched by the experience. In 2015 Arya and Yastari were given the opportunity to go to Helena College. At the College’s Awards Ceremony on 9 December, Yastari performed a Balinese dance, and she and Arya sang an Indonesian song, with Arya playing the guitar. In their farewell speeches both
students expressed their deep appreciation of the welcome that they had received from all teachers
and students at the College and thanked them, their host families and JFF for their contributions.

This is possible through the invaluable contributions to JFF’s humanitarian work that are made by the many volunteer medical specialists from Australia who travel to Bali at their own expense to pass on their skills
and knowledge to the Indonesian medical personnel who work in our projects. In 2015 the areas of specialty training were in plastic and reconstructive surgery
(including cleft lip and palate), oculoplasty surgery, glaucoma, strabismus, glaucoma, cataract surgical techniques and general ophthalmology, with the following volunteers:
