Ferari Owner’s Support of Orphanage & School

FERARI OWNER'S SUPPORT OF ORPHANAGE & SCHOOL

In celebration of their  11^th anniversary, the Ferari Owners Club Indonesia held a rally to Bali and enjoyed a celebratory lunch on Friday, May 13, 2012 at the Maya Ubud Resort & Spa. It was a truly splendor event involving forty Feraris and their owners. 

At the conclusion of the lunch, the car owners personally made a very generous donation to  two of our Corporate Social Responsibility programs by giving cheques in the amount of Rp37,500.000 to each: Our adopted orphanage, Welas Asih in Kintamani and our local Elementary School, SDN 3 Pejeng Kawan, in order to enhance the educational prospects of the children assisted by these two institutions.

Maya Ubud Resort & Spa is greatly indebted to the Ferari Owners Club Indonesia for their overwhelming generosity and support of its two main social and education programs and is truly grateful. 

Donation to Orphanage

Our Adopted Orphanage

In line with the Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Bali Hotels Association for each member hotel to adopt an orphanage in Bali, we at Maya Ubud Resort & Spa selected the Welas Asih Orphanage Kintamani. 

On Friday, May 23 2012 the resort complied with a request from the orphanage by donating dining utensils, plates, spoons, forks & cups, along with bed sheets, towels and sport uniforms for their football team.

Welas Asih Orphanage is an orphanage that accommodates 52 unfortunate children from poor and under privileged families around Suter and concentrates on their education and  wellbeing.  We at Maya Ubud strongly believe that education is vital importance for the future generations of Bali’s village children in order that they will experience better future prospects

Orphanage Visitation

On Thursday the 28th of September, Maya Ubud began visitation to several homes of orphan in Bali. The first visit was the Balinese orphanage known as Seeds of Hope, located in Dalung and founded by Tommy and his wife Sandra. This orphanage provides care to 67 children from the age of 10 months up to 18 years. Benih Harapan was the second orphanage visited in the same day.

In the following days, Saturday the 2nd of October, Maya Ubud visited more orphanages, Darma Jati a privately run Balinese orphanage for more than 200 children and Tat Wam Asi an orphanage for 45 girls. Yayasan Senyum, a non profit, independent organization working to bring health care to people with craniofacial disabilities was visited as well during the day.

During this visitation, some donation of useable stuff has been handed to them by Maya Ubud management. Further donation will be given to the other organization that provided care to orphans and poor and homeless children.

Career Day

In conjuntion with Indonesia National Children Day (Hari Anak Nasional), July 23, 2009. Two days ago we visited nearby Orphanage in Bedulu Gianyar. With 17 teenagers at the orphanage, we conduct Hotel Career Day. Four of us from the hotel shared our experience how do we start our career in the hotel.

The most important points are to encourage them to work hard, to have positive attitude, always find opportunities and never give up.

We hope we will be able to conduct similar session to other orphan houses in Bali.

Widya Guna Bedulu, Orphan House

Last Saturday, January 24, 2009, we had an opportunity to visit Yayasan Widya Guna, an Orphan House located in Bedulu village, about 15 minutes from Maya Ubud. The purpose of this visit was to deliver unused stuffs from the hotel they can still use. Our regular group named Gita International Yoga from Australia was also handed bags of clothes and dolls to give to the children.

Yayasan Widya Guna - started in 2004 by Gill Rijnenberg & Ketut Sadia, wth their primary goal is to give the children of Bali the opportunity to obtain an education and to break the cycle of poverty. There are total of 86 children funded their education through Yayasan Widya Guna, 19 of them are orphans and the rest are poor children. The children age range between 3 to 17 years old.

Each child has respective foster parent to fund their education fee. Pak Ketut of Widya Guna expects to get the contract of fostering at least until the children pass their high school. Each child has their bank account where their parent transfer the fund directly to them. Each child has a "buku kas" where they record all their expenses to be read by their foster parents. They even have email address and they are communicating to their foster parents atleast once a week updating their development.

Everyday they get English Class and Dance Class. The English class is conducted by some volunteers. The volunteers from overseas will be staying in guest house available at the yayasan.
