chairmen’s reports
T
he year 2011 was a challenging one for the Foundation. Our fundraising was down and as a result, our activities had to be reduced accordingly. Even so, we achieved significant results in all areas of our work. Our financial circumstances did, however, improve slightly towards the end of the year. In August we made an urgent appeal for financial assistance and it was extremely encouraging to have our call answered by our army of individual supporters who came to our aid with significant financial donations. Overlaying all of these events has been the wonderful work of our Bali team. This group of highly-skilled, dedicated staff take enormous pride in their work. They are the key to the excellent reputation we enjoy both in Indonesia and Australia and, increasingly, in other parts of the world. As you will see in the Report, in spite of our financial difficulties, our work has gone on unabated. With the aid of the Indonesian Air Force we have extended our Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention Program to the outer reaches of the Indonesian Archipelago and through our outreach program we have increased the number of poor people who have had our life-changing cataract surgery. Our Children’s Corrective Surgery program has transformed the lives of many young people and we have continued to provide educational assistance to a large number of school-age children who would otherwise not be able to go to school. Of special note is our highly successful prosthetic eye program which has increased more than threefold over the year.This life-changing service is now part of our regular screening programs.
where he has served for several years. He is well known to John Fawcett, is familiar with the work of the Foundation, speaks Bahasa Indonesia and has been working in the SE Asian region for 30 years. He has had experience with major government organisations, mining companies and humanitarian organisations.We are confident LeRoy will take the Foundation to its next stage of development and look forward to formally welcoming him in July. Whilst the Foundation was buoyed by the impending appointment of the new Chief Executive we were shocked by the tragic news of the death of our Board member, friend and colleague, Geoff Anderson. This was a blow felt personally by many Board members and organisationally by us all. Geoff’s wise counsel and expertise will be sorely missed. SINCERE THANKS Our report would not be complete without conveying, once again, our heartfelt thanks to the increasing number of volunteers who make our work possible with a special thanks to the army of medical specialists from Australia, who give so willingly of their time and expertise. Our sincere thanks also go to the many donors who contribute the funds that enable us to continue our work. To all of those who give so generously, your continuing support will never be taken for granted. We look forward to the forthcoming year with a great deal of enthusiasm and with a steadfast belief that we are on target to secure the long term future of the Foundation’s work.
In August we announced our intention to secure the Foundation’s future by recruiting a Chief Executive to work with our Founder and at an appropriate time, to take over the running of the organisation. As part of this process Board member and Secretary, Dr John Lake and his wife, Nonie, moved to Bali to help out in the office while the new person was recruited. We are extremely appreciative of the enormous contribution being made by John and Nonie during this time of transition. We are delighted to report that we have recruited a highly qualified Chief Executive, who will take up his duties in July. LeRoy Hollenbeck joins us from the United Nations

Comments on the year
I
n an overview of the Foundation’s Humanitarian work in the past year, one is surrounded by faces and events that blend seamlessly into a general picture. But those moments of help and the individuals concerned are lost in the sheer numbers involved. So I love to think of a particular case. I call this the Yanti year (see cover photo). Yanti was six years old when her uncle brought her to our Sanur clinic. She had been blind since she was two, thought to be caused by black magic, which then led to a broken family. “Nothing is quite so challenging as a blind child.” Clinical examination diagnosed operable cataracts. Successful surgery followed giving her an opportunity for an active, productive and happy life. But it’s not so simple for the child who meets itself visually for the first time, gaining independence, socially bonding, and venturing into a new world. To this end, educational coaching at home by a local teacher was organised and in June 2012 Yanti will commence normal school.
While our mobile cataract theatres have operated on 3,643 adults this year in isolated locations, children require sophisticated general anesthetics under hospital conditions, so expansion of pediatric cataract surgery to other islands presents problems. The need is massive. January 2012 Indonesian demographics indicate there are sixty seven million in the 0-14 age group and we could be looking at three hundred and thirty five thousand children with blinding diseases, of which a major group are cataract blind. So there are thousands of Yantis in the prison of cataract darkness in Indonesia, possibly never to gain the freedom of sight. No matter how tough things get in our developed world, they can never be as hard as everyday existence is for the poor in developing countries. I call on you all to spread the message of our work to friends and associates calling on them to assist the Foundation financially so that we can continue to expand in the coming years. Let’s help more Yantis to reach the full potential of their lives.
All this is made possible through our school support programme and a donation to assist Yanti.“Thank you donor”. Yanti’s blindness was the result of a far too common genetic factor, and one has to puzzle on how many other children in Indonesia are locked up in a similar genetic prison. Certainly the Foundation has returned sight to well over three hundred babies and young children, similarly affected on Bali.

F
rom the beginning, sight restoration and blindness prevention have been our core activities. We began with a single mobile clinic in 1989, and now have multiple clinics and fund cataract operations in two established medical centres as part of our outreach program.
The key elements of the program are:
• Field eye screening and identification of people with impaired sight • Treatment of minor eye ailments with medication • Distribution of glasses • Sight-restoring operations for cataract blind • Cataract surgery for children in cooperating hospitals In 2011 our mobile clinics operated in Bali, Lombok, South Kalimantan, Bondowoso, Solo, Bengkulu, Pacitan, Surabaya and Sumbawa, and contract surgeons performed operations as part of our Java outreach program in Gresik and Surabaya.
WWW.BALIEYE.ORG | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 11
THE JOHN FAWCETT FOUNDATION YAYASAN KEMANUSIAAN INDONESIA
PROJECT OUTCOMES In 2011 our mobile teams screened 72,710 people from the lower socio-economic group, distributed 50,950 pairs of glasses and performed 3,643 sight-restoring cataract operations. In spite of 2011 being one of our most difficult years financially, this was an increase of 713 over the number of operations performed in 2010. The increase was due in part to the success of our outreach program. Together, the clinics in Gresik and Tritya performed 1,758 operations. It was also due to the assistance of the Indonesian armed services which allowed us to expand the locations at which we can work. While the main purpose of our Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention Program is to identify people who are cataract blind, the other, equally important outcome, is to treat those who have other blinding diseases and eye ailments.

Dr Wayan Gde Dharyarta, the Foundation’s Consultant Ophthalmologist, continues to provide invaluable support for our eye programs by training new ophthalmologists, assisting with forward planning and spending many hours using his wonderful surgical skills restoring sight to people who cannot afford a cataract operation.

As anyone who needs glasses will attest, from the simplest of tasks to the more complex requiring close attention, the world without glasses is severely limited. In the case of the poor in Bali,this level of sight deficiency can severely restrict a person’s ability to earn a living and the simple act of providing glasses can be almost as life-transforming as a cataract operation for the blind.

COOPERATION WITH THE INDONESIAN ARMED SERVICES Cooperation between the Foundation and the Indonesian armed services moved to another level during 2011 when we launched our newest mobile clinic, purpose-built to fit into a Hercules transport. The clinic was officially launched in a mass screening and operating program in Solo, central Java and was flown from Bali to Solo by the Indonesian Air Force. Earlier in the year the Air Force also flew the team to Bengkulu in South Sumatra. This was part of a community medical service activity which involved seven nations – Australia, Singapore,Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and the United States with four other nations attending as observers We greatly value the support of the Indonesian armed services. The Air Force allows us to provide our services well beyond the range of our mobile clinics enabling us to reach people over the full extent of the Indonesian archipelago. Top: Loading the mobile eye clinic in to the Hercules. Left: Air Force ophthalmologist Dr Djoni examines a patient in Solo Central Java. Below: Testing patients at the Air Force base in Solo.

MONITORING SURGICAL OUTCOMES Ensuring the highest possible quality of care for all our patients is our main priority. To this end we assess all surgeons and if necessary provide additional training in the small incision cataract surgery procedures we use. We also have a regular monitoring program that checks surgical outcomes in our mobile clinics and outreach centres. Over a 10 day period in March-April volunteer Dr Nelson Kuo, from the Sydney Eye Hospital conducted a refraction training sessions with all our screening staff. This is an invaluable service for staff who check the eyesight and refraction errors of thousands of patients each month. Surgical Outcomes Survey As part of our monitoring program our teams participated in a surgical outcomes survey headed by Professor John Crompton from the University of Adelaide with the assistance of medical students Lachlan Farmer and Cecelia Innes-Wong. This is the only large-cohort six month follow-up audit conducted in a developing country and the results will be published by the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists. Volunteer ophthalmologists from Australia, Dr John Byrne, Dr Peter Graham, Dr Ian Spencer and Dr Gordon Bougher, also participated in the survey.

O
ver the years, with the help of volunteer surgeons and supporting hospitals, we have been able to help families with children with complex medical conditions. Sometimes these conditions become evident at birth, on other occasions they are the result of trauma in young lives. In some instances the surgery saves lives; in all cases it makes a profound difference to the quality of life. Above: Mother & daughter en-route to Adelaide.

PROSTHETIC EYES
PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS
In the Balinese culture, a young person who loses an eye has little hope of a productive life. For a girl, marriage is unlikely and for a boy the disfigurement means that many job opportunities are closed to him.
Alan Crumlin (Fremantle Orthotics Service, Western Australia)
Our prosthetic eye program has gone from strength to strength and in 2011 we provided artificial eyes for 76 adults and 28 children. This is more than a three-fold increase on the numbers provided in the 2010 program. It is noteworthy that our prosthetic eye technician has developed a method of making and fitting eyes as part of our team’s regular screening and operating programs in remote villages.
Professor Tjakra Manuaba, oncologist (Bali Indonesia)
PROSTHETIC LEGS From time to time we encounter young children who are born with major physical disabilities. Atik from the island of Lombok was one such child. Atik was born without the lower part of her right leg and in 2008 was fitted with a prosthetic leg by the Fremantle Orthotics Service (FOS). We are grateful to Alan Crumlin from FOS who has made several visits to Bali checking on prosthetic leg patients and making necessary adjustments. Alan found that Atik needed another growthrelated operation. This was carried out by Dr Bram and anaesthetist Dr Alit at the Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) where all surgery and related costs were provided free of charge.

education assistance program
O
ur Education Assistance program provides funding support for children and young people from poor Balinese families giving them an educational opportunity they would otherwise not have. Donors nominate either specific children they wish to support or donate generally to the program. The funds are deposited in interest-bearing bank accounts from which families can draw a specific amount each month to cover school expenses. The cost of support is determined by a student’s educational level – Primary A$100, Junior High School A$150, Senior High School A$200 In 2011 donor’s provided funding for 439 students bringing to 976 the number who have been supported by the program. Duty of Care The privacy of children in this program is of utmost concern to us. Meetings between donors and students can be arranged but this is always in the company of Foundation staff and usually in a neutral location

HELENA COLLEGE Since 1996 two Balinese students who have completed Year 12 and are judged to benefit from an overseas experience are selected each year to attend Helena College in Perth. The students stay with Perth families, learn English and computing, and contribute to the College’s Indonesian language and culture program. Twenty five students have now had the advantage of the three-month residency. Recently, graduates of the program gathered at the Foundation’s headquarters where Trish Bilbrough presented Gede Bingin with a plaque recognizing him as the first student to enter the program and for his continuing support and encouragement of new students.

Equipment donation & shipment
E
ach year we receive donations of high quality medical equipment and supplies from Perth hospitals. The equipment is either surplus to needs or has been superseded by new models. Volunteers load the equipment into our container which is then shipped to Bali where the equipment is distributed to hospitals in Bali and outlying islands. Local hospitals are grateful for the additional equipment which enables them to offer improved facilities. Two container loads of equipment were shipped this year. Among the many items received were quality hydraulic beds, autoclaves, wheel chairs, an operating table and anaesthetic machine as well as wide range of medical supplies.

Donations and expenditure have been converted to Australian dollars. Pro Bono Auditors Once again we would like to express our sincere thanks to Mark Thornton (Western Australia), Ernst & Young (Jakarta) and Roger Shaw (Independent Examiner UK) who undertake the audits for the Australian, Indonesian and UK Foundations respectively on a pro-bono basis. This not only saves our Foundation a great deal of expense, it also establishes our financial credibility. Your Donation – Multiplier Effect The Foundation is proud of the fact that it operates on very low overheads. This is made possible by donations of equipment and medical supplies and the very valuable contribution medical specialists and skilled volunteers who travel to Bali at their own expense to train local personnel in our programs and to provide other specialist training. This means that:
