I have visited one of the orphanages for the first time last year after reading about it on the forum. For me it was a humbling experience. I dont wine and dine with the story about going to the orphanage as a matter of fact I dont even drink and I am not middle class person from the south. But will do what I can to help. If that means giving people the address of the orphanage that I visited I will. I dont know if you read about the report a few years ago about the donations after the bombings and how much they actually got and what was gobbled up by the system. At lease if you give it to them you know there is no other party taking their cut. I love the Balinese people and if I can help them even if it is only in a small way I will. People like you shouldn't knock people for doing what they can. All I can say is get a life if you have nothing better to say.
