This kid, named Gede Suartika, 10 years old
4th class in elementary school.
His father is a fisherman, they live in a very simple house near a lake.
On some other’s land.
While mother is just a house wife with one other young daughter.
Gede daily activity after school is helping mother to take care his sister or sometimes helping father on the lake. Not so many times to have fun.
I hope there will be one sponsor to hold their hand, to cover Gede’s school cost for him to be able to complete basic education at school. They face the difficulties to split their income to feed the family and Gede’s education.
If you are the one who will hold their hand, here are the thing you can do for them.
– Sponsoring Gede basic education at elementary school at USD 278 a year. (today’s rate Rp 9.500 / dollar)
That is complete sponsorship which will divided in to two:
- School supplies (book, pen, eraser, etc) and uniform, shoes, shock, belt
For amount USD 127 for a year
- Pocket money for lunch Rp 5.000 / active day (6 days a week, 11 month a year)
For amount USD 151 for a year
I will send the details for anyone interested in.
Here are some photo of their life.

Is there anyone out there ? says Nyoman Adyasa – Co-Founder of Rainbow Bend.
Is there anyone out there to help this child to complete his basic education ?
The amount is around $278 AUD or $278 USD to sponsor his education for a year !
That means it would cost you about $23 a month and if you want to know what it will cost you a week – it is around $6. a week. Look what we can get for that $6 here in Australia or America – maybe 2 coffees.? He needs that $6 a week more than we need 2 cups of coffee ! dont you think ?
WOW ! only $6 a week so that this child can complete basic education and have the books and supplies and the uniform to wear and also have a small amount of money to get some lunch as the children go 6 days a week to kindergarten and school.
Maybe two people or two families can share this cost of helping Gede who is 10 years old. and sponsor him for his education for a year.
I believe that someone in their heart will see his story and the photos and they will reach out and help him, because if you help him, you are also taking the stress away from his mum and dad who are doing the best they can. terima kasih.
