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.
