The annual charity event Perth back to Bali Dynasty Party

January 30th, 2008

Bali Dynasty Resort is once again holding its annual charity event “Back to Bali Dynasty Party” in Perth, Western Australia on Saturday, 9th  February, 2008.

This will be the 15th consecutive year the party has been held. The charity event will take place from 5.30pm at the WA – Italian Club, 219 Fitzgerald Street, North Perth. The theme for this years’ event is a “Tropical Island Party” theme which should enable people to come casually relaxed and in the mood for Bali! The biggest draw card to this event is more than 60 raffle prizes which include flights and holidays at the Bali Dynasty Resort as well as many prizes for attractions in Bali.

This Perth event has become the major fundraiser for the Bali Dynasty Charity Effort and is held annually to support over 80 impoverished children in their educational needs in order to provide future sustainability.

The Bali Dynasty Resort has been committed since 2000 to this project which is managed by the East Bali Poverty Project. This is a remote mountain hamlet in Pengalusan. The village is approximately 85km from Kuta and until recently could only be reached by four wheel drive vehicles.

Up to 2007, there are 42 children (25 boys and 17 girls) of Primary High School and 12 children of Junior High School (7 boys and 5 girls) at Pengalusan have graduated. The main impact has been an overall improvement in their standard of living. Through education they have developed better hygienic practices and are generally healthier. The organic farming programme has enabled them to grow a wider variety of crops as opposed to the “cassava” which contributed to the high level of goiter at that time.

“The Back to Bali Dynasty Party has always received great support from our guests from the first time it was held in 1993” explained General Manager, Robert Kelsall “each year the event is supported by more than 350 past guests of the Resort who get an opportunity to renew ties with select staff members, enjoy an evening of good  food and entertainment and participate in the highlight of the event; which is the raffle where guests can win some great prizes.”

This years’ event has been made possible through the support of major wholesalers including Asia Escape, Creative Holidays, Freestyle, New Horizons Holidays and Garuda Orient Holidays.
