Updates on Bali Kids Project 2024 and the community work Shane and Alice had done for the children of Tenganan Village, Bali, Indonesia. Come meet and mingle at the Shadle Park Library in Spokane and get a sampler taste of Balinese cuisine.

Join us in raising fund for our Bali Fundraising Event at Feast World Kitchen, Spokane, WA. Read more about our humanitarian projects we have done and plan to do for a school in an ancient village in Bali, Indonesia.

This post is about Mamadeenee, a Muslim Thai woman we met in Krabi. She cooks delicious and affordable Thai dishes at her small stall in the RCA Entertainment lane. Check her out if you are in the area and help support her.

Shane and I have been giving out food and blankets to the homeless people in downtown Spokane since November 2020. We started offering fresh fruits and salads since September through donations from various sources. We want to thank our bible study group for their contribution in purchasing Mylar blankets.

Feeding the hungry and the homeless community in Spokane, Washington as best as we can with whatever we could find from our city. Thanks for donated fruits and salad, we were able to distribute healthy meals to people in need.

It’s time for us to go back to the US and we spent our last days with GIFT children in Klang, Selangor. We brought along Ah Ping, the Goat mascot after their alpha goat who died last year as a gift. Hopefully it could be used to promote GIFT Foundation. Shane came with a few gifts for the children and he tried to encourage each one to learn and study hard.

Happy New Year 2019 everyone. We want to make a special thank you post and mention our family, friends and even strangers who donated to our cause in order to help children at GIFT Foundation. We are grateful for your supports. We also explain in this post our mission and why we help the vulnerable communities.

GIFT children have learned some basic English and some of them are eager to share their accomplishments by appearing on a video wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. We are so proud of them. We also list down the work we have done in December at GIFT Foundation and update on the 5 Rohingya teenagers.

UNHCR sends 5 Rohingya teenagers to GIFT Foundation under our care. We have to provide safety measures to ensure they do not escape. They are also sent for health screening. Words spread in the Champa community and they came bringing food and clothing for the teenagers. Special thanks to our friend and family in the USA for their contributions.

We are back again in Malaysia and this is our update after spending a week at GIFT Foundation with the children. There have been many changes and it has been hectic and stressful; playing nanny roles and at the same time Shane attends workshops and counsels the refugees. We need to bring discipline and organization to this home.
