Most Charities are funded mainly by the Government, but love to take all the credit, let all charities give credit where that happens

Mick, my husband and I are Aussie pensioners but we have our own little charity called Boots for Bali which supplies soccer and other sports gear to poor East Bali villages. We also sponsor a kindergarten and in four years have furnished two rooms, provided uniforms, two security gates, playground equipment, stationery, a kitchen so children can have breakfast, and paid three years lease for them. We have supplied five villages with soccer shirts, boots etc and paid for them to join the local association. There are many, many people like us who do what we can, without any help from any Governments. We fundraise, run raffles, sausage sizzles, second hand book fairs and charity golf days. On our last visit, last month (October) we were overjoyed to see that 9 special needs children were now able to attend our kindy FREE OF CHARGE because of the help we have given. This is the only kindergarten in bali which is free for the local village children. Don't be inactive because of your sceptisim. You too can make a difference to someone else in need, no matter how small.
