In June 2019 I got lucky to visit Bali and I was absolutely enchanted by indigenous people there. Many of them live in poverty but it doesn't stop them from loving life. I also noticed that people with physical problems have the most sincere smiles and there is no depression or disappointment in their eyes. It proves that the only way to stay happy is to take life as a pure miracle.
As a volunteer this kid learns a lot about love and helping the others
This old man has lived in a house without electricity and plumbing for years but Balinese volunteers took care of him and built him a new house
This old lady was happy to recieve a chocolate bar from me as a mark of respect
Volunteers are available 24/7 because their help may be needed at any time
Young girl works in the open air
Women do the cooking also in the open air
Mother and her child weren't used to get so much attention from a foreigner
The eyes of this child were too serious for his age
During this project I have learned to love life and people so much more. Human exictance may take different forms but only we choose to accept it and fill with joy or we can hate it. You won't be able to stay positive all the time but, please, choose the first option just as these people do. And suddenly, if needed, you will get help out of thin air - just as these people received help from Komunitas Bali Peduli Sosial :)
