ADOPTASCHOOL

Through our contact with our Bali family, I became aware of the difficulty some families were experiencing in paying school fees and meeting the costs associated with education. I could see an opportunity for our schools in WA to assist these children, not just financially, but through providing an exchange of cultural experiences. After discussions with David Wedd, he offered to approach the five schools in Baturiti district, whcih were close to his business. He found the headmasters were very keen for any assistance we could provide. AdoptASchool was born in Novemeber 2002. Initially I matched the first school with Mt Hawthorn JPS and have been steadily doing so ever since. David later directed me to Freddie Subiyanto (now deceased). Mr Subiyanto located several schools and then put me in touch with the, High School teacher and Rotarian, Wayan Tur Adnyana. Mr Adnyana became my main contact in Bali... AdoptASchool was established in 2002, as a direct response to the first Bali..
