man doing great sponsorship work in Bali is John Fawcett. He has been dedicating his life to the work of The John Fawcett Foundation for over 22 years now. He is an awesome man to meet & focuses on free to Balinese (sponsored) cataract operations, Cleft Palete repair AND Education sponsorship. A visit to the Foundation will leave you awestruck at the difference he makes to the Balinese' lives.
John & his Foundation are located in Sanur. (he's like the Fred Hollows of Bali)
