We have been loyal supporters to this foundation which our aim is to help in any way possible. The foundation looks after and supports people with different abilities, the foundation trains them with skills to create handicrafts, paintings, amenities containers as well as teach them traditional art such as traditional Balinese dance and orchestra.

The foundation is working towards economic self-sufficiency, and self-reliance through the sale of handicrafts. Besides delivering some donations, we also help them sell their products, (at cost) which are available for purchasing at Prime Plaza Suites Sanur - Bali. Our General Manager, Mr. Stuart Bolwell says "it is so rewarding seeing first-hand the smiling faces enthusiastically building toys in the workshop. They are an inspiration to us all". 

You too can help by donating money in our charity box which is available at our lobby area, your contribution will assist the people in need. Even the smallest help will mean a lot to them. We also asking our guest that $1.00 per stay to be added to the bill upon checkout 100% of this money is spent to support the daily needs of this foundation.

Galungan Celebration

Galungan is a Balinese Hindu holiday, which celebrates the victory of Dharma (good) over adharma (evil). This time round, Galungan day falls on July 24, 2019. As Galungan falls every 210 days, there are roughly 2 Galungan celebrations every calendar year. Throughout the day, temples are crowded with people coming and going, bringing intricate offerings and praying. Balinese Hindus believe that during the Galungan period, the sacred ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. The current habitants have the responsibility to be hospitable to these spirits through prayers and offerings. Families who have ancestors that have not yet been cremated, but are still buried in the village cemetery, must present the offerings at the graves of the deceased. 
 
Although Galungan falls on a Wednesday, the celebration begins the day before, on a day that is called "Penampahan Galungan". On Penampahan Galungan day, people are busy preparing offerings and cooking for the next day, whilst the women of the household have been busy for days already, creating beautifully woven "Banten" (offerings made from young coconut leaves). Outside all houses, you can find "Penjor", a long decorated bamboo pole installed by the side of the entrance to the family home.
The day after Galungan is "Manis Galungan", a day for everyone to visit their relatives and friends. If you happen to be in Bali during Galungan, do not miss the opportunity to witness and capture this unique festival.
