SEPTEMBER 2012: Walking 400km barefoot for Disadvantaged Children in Bali:      

Solemen sleeping rough in Banjar Besaki while conducting medical health checks and health education presentation with a medical team from ‘Bali Kids’ in schools, orphanages and villages often giving medical aid to children for the first time and setting up future regular return medical visits. Solemen’s Walks raise awareness of our projects. We talk directly with villagers in their environment and forge links to help the disadvantaged locally. On all the walks we distribute our health and safety education manuals as well as clothing, books, toys and household goods collected throughout the year.

  JUNE-NOVEMBER 2012: A whole new world for little Ani: Solemen met Sarah Chapman in June 2012. Together we transformed little Ani’s life – our first OUTREACH project and a true turning point for the Solemen.

Kadek Ani, an 8 year old girl from Sideman Regency of Karangasem, whose mother left when she was aged six months old with no further contact. She lived with her psychotic father and grandmother, sleeping on the kitchen floor on newspaper whilst her father was locked most of the day in the bedroom due to fits of violence. The situation was tragic as Ani weighed only 6.4kgs and dying. She was severely malnourished due to a cleft palate and deaf due to a chronic ear infection. She had severe developmental delay, unable even to sit up. The family had no income as her father was unable to work and her grandma being frail and elderly. They had no help from the Government!   Sarah, now team leader for Solemen’s ‘OUTREACH’ programs rode, with her friend, an eight hour return bike journey 3 times per week followed by 15 mins trek up a hill to reach little Ani’s village bringing aid and specialist nutrition to her and the family. Solemen responded to Sarah’s appeal on Facebook and together arranged for little Ani to be assessed at Sanglah hospital, where she was fed and her condition monitored. This included checks for her measurements and her responses. Ani responded fast and positively to the nursing and developed great bonds with those involved in her care. A couple of months transformed her from a feral child, only able to communicate with aggression hissing and biting. She developed with love and care into a well balanced child learning very quickly and achieved a lot of firsts.
