MORE THAN YOU THINK !!!!............

Janu - its short name for JANUARSA. I was born at small island south of Bali which is called Nusa Lembongan on the 1st January 1983....

One of my favourite photo shot..... Un-directed.... 

I spent my childhood in this village. Primary schools in the state elementary school 3 Lembongan. Secondary school (SMP N 4 Nusa Penida), and I continued high school in Badung in (SMK TOURISM MENGWITANI) and graduated in 2001.

SLTP Negeri 4 Nusa Penida

I spent many hours after school to help parents who work as a seaweed farmer. understand my family is not wealthy family. but the harmony among family members is the most important thing that makes me and my family very happy.

May 1998, I had to leave home and parents to attend school in Denpasar precisely in Badung regency

SMK Pariwisata Mengwitani

In this new place, I rented a room and have to live independently. I feel very proud to come in and go to school at SMK Tourism Mengwitani because this school is quite famous for its discipline and quality.
Because my family was not wealthy family, so to get pocket money I decided to work half-time as a housekeeper and nanny. Pretty embarrassing really but I still run it because there are no remittances from parents like other children.

Around 2001, I had the opportunity to follow a program of Youth International where I met many young people from 22 countries and our culture of mutual learning from each participating country.
Quite proud of it feels ....

During the program, I see many children who never attended school due to economic factors. many children who have to work hard to eat, busking on the streets, begging and lose their childhood. very sad .... very unfair ....
I thank the Lord because it is more fortunate than them.

Before the program ended, I had the idea to create a non-profit charitable foundation to help children who are disadvantaged, orphaned and homeless.
Thank God my ideas accepted and all the friends in the program would help to realize the non-profit charitable foundation.
For the initial donation, we sell crafts that we have made and the results of these advantages we hold.
I remember the hard times early this foundation running. Sometimes me and my friends borrow money from parents to cover expenses.

Me and my friends agreed and promised, if we get a decent job then we will donate 25% of our salary to the foundation.
