Sponsors Gabriella Davalos of Komang Mudasih’s youngest daughter Shanti

SHANTI child of KOMANG MUDASIH and WAYAN

Sharing one is a bedroom and living room the mother and father had to send the eldest of the two daughters to live with the grandparents, who are now helping to pay for schooling.

Shanti’s father is of Chinese descent, and, although already third-generation Balinese, he’s still ostracized for his back.

He is one of the few males who followed his wife to her hometown. His wife could not bear the thought of leaving her family, and out of pure love he decided to stay with her in a town that did not exactly welcomed people of Chinese descent, which is also the reason why the shares such small accommodations.

Shanti, about 10 years younger than her elder sister, loves to sing, and has been studious and desiring to learn and excel in school, ever since she was five years old. However her parents worry about schooling, as they are trying to do their best to make ends meet, and send money to help the grandparents , who are taking care of  the older girl.

Komang and Wayan are extraordinarily grateful for the support of their youngest daughter. They hope think she will make it into higher education, able to take care of as they do not have a boy who will take care of them in old age.

Her sponsors is family from Holland/the Netherlands, the mother Gaby is an artist, from Ecuador, who has four children with the Dutch husband.
