Charities We Support
When we travel with groups for Personal Expansion – we always support deserving local organizations and we spend time volunteering as a way of demonstrating our compassionate appreciation for those making a difference to vulnerable populations. This year we will be supporting TWO very worthy organizations supporting children with disabilities, orphans who need support, and an exceptional animal welfare charity. Yayasan Widya Guna & BAWA (Bali Animal Welfare Association)
YAYASAN WIDYA GUNA
The Yayasan serves as a sanctuary for Balinese children facing challenging circumstances, providing education, shelter, and nourishment to those in need. Their mission supports underprivileged children, including orphans, those with disabilities, and street children, ensuring access to quality education and fostering independence. By offering a safe haven and essential resources, the Yayasan empowers children to embark on a promising future. We will be spending a day in the classes for children with disabilities and supporting them by eating in their cafe teaching valuable skills to this vulnerable population.

BAWA (Bali Animal Welfare Association)
Animals have long struggled to survive in the streets, beaches, and villages of Bali facing hunger, illness, mistreatment, and uncontrolled breeding. Amidst a lack of understanding, education, and enforceable laws against improper treatment of animals, we work tirelessly to protect them from harm. Their mission & vision: To put compassion into action and create sustainable change for Bali’s animals. We envision a Bali in which each village is its own natural sanctuary for animals; where all animals are routinely vaccinated, healthy, cared for, and treated with compassion and respect, and the population is controlled at a manageable and sustainable level.
BAWA takes action to directly relieve pain and suffering, and work within communities to influence a positive shift in attitudes and behaviors, in order to stop animal mistreatment before it occurs. They offer a 24/7 Hotline and ambulance, ER Team & Disaster Relief, Rescue, Rehab & Rehome, Street Feeding and so much more! See more about them here: https://bawabali.com/
