Background/Comments:
In 2014 my family and I visited Bumi Sehat Foundation and volunteered with this amazing organization. We were so impressed with the commitment and vision of their founder Ibu Robin Lim, and the program that she has developed to support women and their babies in Indonesia and the Philippines. She has attracted many wealthy donors who visit Bali on vacation including celebrity supermodels and musicians (see list of partners), and has tremendous potential to raise more money from individuals and institutions, with proper support. It goes without saying that Bali is also a great place to visit!
