How are things going with Heldi…

21 January 2017 door Syta Plantinga Leave a Comment

You surely remember her, the terribly burned young girl from  Kupang, we named her a living dead back then. Her situation was horrible. Exactly a year ago we started fundraising to make surgeries in Australia possible.

Your heart was big so we could bring her to Bali, arrange for passports, prepare to the western world and the heavy surgeries. In October she ledft for Perth, together with her niece Holldyn, The were

Uw hart was groot, we konden haar naar Bali halen, paspoorten regelen, voorbereiden op de westerse wereld en zware operaties. In oktober vertrok ze naar Perth, samen met haar nicht Holldyn. They were lovingly taken care of by a large group of friends Kolewa there, and found shelter with Aimee en Kevin.
No easy task, but a challenge with a great result. [Read more…]

Schoolbus action in full swing!

21 January 2017 door Syta Plantinga Leave a Comment

As you know Kolewa Foundation supports a big group of deaf and hearing-impaired childrenen in Karangasem on Bali.
Some of these children have reached a level which requires going to a ‘real’ school.
We have made a foundation, now it’s up to the professionals… these kids want to have diplomas which give them a future. Sounds easy but it’s not. Nevertheless we decided to start already with 4 children from the group. Nanda, Kurniawan, Neni en Phonica travel every day from Rendang to Denpasar: they are at school! Schoolmoney, uniforms and school supplies we could provide for thanks to donations from the Red Carpet Bar on Bali and a generous gift from 93 year old Jeep Plantinga.

The year has only just begun and Rumah Bicara is already getting full!

21 January 2017 door Syta Plantinga Leave a Comment

Normally there are about 12 patients and their mentors (parent, grandmother, sister), Klemens our housekeeper and Ledy our cook.
To be sure, we have some convertible beds for emergency situations, which currently come in handy.
Meanwhile Saya is back from her surgery in Sumatra and Heldi has returned from Perth (Australia). In short, it’s a bustle in Rumah Bicara. [Read more…]

2017

15 January 2017 door Syta Plantinga Leave a Comment

2017: In Rupiahs it’s nothing. Then we talk about a negligible amount. But as a year it puts more weight on the scale. With the closing of two thousand sixteen Kolewa foundation can look back on ten eventful years. Years in which a lot of work has been done, a lot of successes were reached, years in which your support proved essential, disappointments had to be processed and occasionally a tear was shed.

2017: a new year full of challenges is announced. A year with a good start. When you read this, the new website of foundation Kolewa has been launched. A site full of information, beautiful images and a mission we are proud of. Our mission speaks almost for itself: give children and young adults a place for themselves in society, reach out to a medical treatment or special education. An opportunity for those who are isolated by their disability, to open the door to a better Future: THEIR FUTURE.

2017: A sense of great responsibility. Kolewa Foundation has a fantastic Indonesian team, a well motivated management,a waiting list of patients and the ambition to offer more and better education to deaf children in Karangasem and Lovina. To organize, execute and ensure we perform excellent. In fundraising we invest a lot of time together.However, the necessary amount is much more than two thousand seventeen rupiah, dollars or euros. 2017: We go for it! Strengthen what we have built, expand partnerships with local field partners, transfer knowledge and build bridges.

2017: Now, on this site, I will regularly surprise you from Bali with beautiful and moving stories from the everyday life of a CEO /volunteer in a developing country, stationed in Bali. An island for many only known as a holiday paradise, but as so often, it has the semblance of prosperity, but poverty reigns …. Seventeen thousand: Let’s create a fantastic year TOGETHER!

Sincerely, Syta Plantinga, CEO.

For a future with a smile!

In Indonesia, many children are still waiting for surgery or medical help. Children with schisis, hearing problems, severe physical deformations due to burns, spina bifida or anus atresia. Our goal is that they can grow up like any other child. Kolewa is totally dependent on donations. For 550 euros it is possible to operate a child with schisis. With each amount you can make a difference. Support Foundation Kolewa. Give them a future with a smile!
