previous projects

HIV-AIDS Project, 2002 - 2006

Support for Bali Bomb Victims, 2002

The Club facilitated a quick Swiss Government donation of burn medicines that were registered in Indonesia and thus could be administered immediately.

Support of Bali Mobile Clinic, 2003

In the wake of the Bali bomb tragedy of October 12, 2002, the Club also received a USD 14,000 grant from the Swiss Government for medium term medical help to Indonesian bomb victims. It was decided to support the joint project of Yayasan Bali Hati and BIWA (Bali International Women Association) to establish a mobile clinic for general practice and small surgery. It will first serve bomb victims and later the general poor population.

World-wide Exchange of Artists, 2003

As its third major project, the Club is planning an artist exchange program, preferably for painters. Exposure to different influences, styles and cultures play a major role in the advancement of an artist. To pursue this advantage, artists of Ubud will be given the chance to study and experience art in another country. On the other hand, we want to play host to foreign artists and expose them to the art scene of Ubud. Contacts in different countries have already been established.
