We at Bikabele welcome visits to the orphanages we
assist, both by our Sponsors of children, as well as donors and supporters
generally.
Children at both orphanages love to see visitors,
especially those at Karangasem who have fewer foreign visitors, simply by being
that little bit further away.
We have outlined below the
cheap replica rolex watches UK basics of how to arrange a visit to the Orphanages. Should you require any further information at all about an
intended visit, please don’t hesitate to contact us direct via the ‘Contact
Us’ page.

Finding Your Way
In order to properly advise the orphanage of your
intended visit we recommend using our trusted Bali tour driver - Pak Wayan.
Wayan has been assisting us in our endeavours on
the ground in Bali for nine years, He speaks very good English, knows all the
history of Bikabele Projects and besides arranging your visit with the
orphanage(s), can answer all your questions
along the way.
As a licensed Tour Operator, Wayan sets good
rates for Bikabele supporters, and he can also help plan any route you may
desire to soak up any part of the Bali countryside you want to visit along the
way. His smile says it all. Wayan is now ably assisted by one of his sons, Komang, who is also very familiar with Bikabele and our work, along with the orphanages and Trade School. Either Wayan or Komang would have pleasure in assisting you for a visit.
Contemplating Gifts for the Children?
If you are intending to take any foodstuffs, rice
or treats for the children, Wayan can also show you where to shop at local
prices on the way if you wish and even recommend what items within your budget
that maybe the most suitable, or most needed, at that time.
Please also ask Wayan about the best protocols for
you to distribute your gifts personally to the children at the orphanages. If
you are visiting Klungkung we also ask if you would sign the Visitors Book which Ibu
Made usually has available.
‘No Direct Cash’ Policy
It has been our own policy right from the start of
Bikabele’s activities to refrain from giving out or donating cash money during
an orphanage visit, whether it be requested (as is rare). or simply as a
charitable gesture.
There are many reasons for this policy we put on
ourselves and we can only encourage you to refrain from this practice yourself,
by either donating goods or services of your choice direct in lieu of giving
cash, or allowing us to channel the intended funds for the specific purpose you
may desire or were alerted to during your visit.
You can do this in the knowledge that 100% of what
you may donate goes direct to the children’s benefit, without deduction and your donations can be channeled exactly as you wish.
Should you require any information at all about
these advices please don’t hesitate to contact us direct via the ‘Contact
Us’ page.
Visits by Sponsors
If you are a Sponsor of a child in our Hearing Aid
Program and wish to meet your child, (especially for the first time), please
ensure you advise Wayan so he can confirm the child you sponsor will be there
to greet you. Sometimes they may just be absent for religious ceremonies at
their home village or for some other reason.
Wayan's Bali Contact No is: Local
Call – 081 236 08310, or International Call - +62 81 236 08310
We invite you to
consider donating towards the cost of any of our important ongoing orphanage
programs by clicking onto the ‘Donate
Now’ button and be part of the joy of giving to orphana and disabled
children in the knowledge that 100% of all donations go directly to providing
the continuity needed for their daily care and welfare.
Please remember...
