AGM 2011 BALI CHARITY

It was very important to build on the success of the initial 2010 Charity cause, and the 2011 Host Mr David Gunawan and his team from PGS Indonesia took to the task with great relish and humility.

The benefactors were the Rawinala Foundation, a training foundation located in East Jakarata that provides services to children with MDVI (Multi Disability and Visual Impairment) The school is recognised as the first and to this day the only education centre of its type in Indonesia.

It caters from 2 to 20 years, and was established in 1973. The school works specifically with multi disabled children, allowing them to reach their full potential and encouraging them to lead full and involved lives in the community.

Five Star delegates raised a total amount of ID Rupiah 67,986520 (approx $7500) for this great cause and it was an emotional moment again when David presented the donation to Murti, Dewa and their carers (pictured above) on the final morning of the AGM.

Long may our group continue to assist great and wonderful people all over the world who dedicate their lives to help others less fortunate than us. Our thanks again to David and all at PGS who made this all possible!
