On this Weekend at the Garden Party Event the Women had the opportunity to practice their abilities they have learned at the Role Foundation Training. They presented Bali Wise with a lot of Information and Handicrafts. 

If the women do not receive any training from the Ayana Resort and Spa and didnt have educational training, they can produce handmade items, such as jewellery and recycled rice bags. 

Some of these products will be selled at the Charity Garden Party Event to support Role Foundation and Bali Wise. 

Now these women got a great opportunity in partnership with the high class Spa and Wellness Resort Ayana near Jimbaran. The women complete at least a three months job training at the Ayana and it gives them the experience, opportunity and hope to find sustainable employment in hospitality. It enables them to change their futures.

Their training at Ayana will culminate in the Role Models charity dinner, when they help to prepare and serve a menu in conjunction with Dava Chef de Cuisine Jusman So.

This is their night to shine.

The raised money from the event will go to Role Foundations vocational and education program Bali Wise and if the students doing their work really well they have the chance to work at least for the Ayana. http://www.ayanaresort.com/

                        

Anyway how important the environment protection is, you have to take a look on the second project of Role Foundation: Bali Wise. http://www.baliwise.org/

Bali Wise try to improve the living standards of disadvantaged or risk Women. The women between 15 and 50 who are usually unpaid, illiterate and unskilled learn basic reading, writing and speaking in Bahasa Indonesia, basic english, basic mathematics and sciences and basic life and work skills like grooming, respect, motivation, honesty and costumer service. Finally after 6 months training the women are able to do an exam and  work at the farm or get an other well paid job. 

Ni Luh Triani for example is a 20 year old Balinese woman from Kutuh Villiage, Southern Bali. Her father pulled her out of school at the third grade of primary school because of her eye problems and a low familiy income. 

Bali Wise found a sponsor for some reading glasses. But even after getting her some reading glasses her father did not think it was neccessary for Luh to be educated. This turned into a major drama for Luh and Bali Wise, but eventually things get sorted out. She was discovered by the Roles Literacy Teacher Miss Made Juniartini through the local Banjar. and began Bali Wise Literacy class in January 2010. At this moment she was not able to read and write or do basic mathematics. 

Now Luh is preparing to start her fourth 3 month semester and is starting to show much improvement in her reading and writing skills. Her mathematics level is about average, for her time with us.She shows a strong willingness to get a reliable job to support her younger sisters. 

Luh self says she was very lucky to find Bali Wise and is happy to learn many new things about people, food and environment. 

Before the women are able to massage the people they have to train how they have to treat the people in the right way. 

Role Foundation offers a very nice spa place at the Eco Learning Center as well. Women who got some training before, can massage the visitors in a beautiful surrounding.
