Bali Global Foundation (Yayasan Bali Global) is a Bali-based foundation that was founded on 4 May 2002 in Peliatan, Ubud, Gianyar with the vision “helping underprivileged people find better jobs in the future” and the mission of “helping people develop their full potential and learn skills via a Hotel Tourism School”.

Two of its main projects are the Panti Asuhan Bali Global (Bali Global Orphanage) and the SMK Parawisata Bali Global Ashram Senior High School, both located on the grounds of the Suly Resort in Banjar Yangloni in Peliatan, Ubud, Gianyar (see Attachment I: Surat Permohonan and Attachment II: Surat Izin/Permission Letter for Panti Asuhan).

The SMK was established in May 2007 and classes began with 63 students in July 2007. All of the students come from underprivileged families from Buleleng, Mengwi,Karangasem,Gianyar,Kintamani and Nusa Penida (please see Attachment III: List of Students); three of them are semi-orphaned. The purpose of the SMK is to give these students the opportunity to finish Senior High School and to learn skills in the tourism industry; there are two majors: Food and Beverage (Boga) and Front Office Management (FO). This is a National School program and not a degree equivalency program (not “Paket C”). The students follow the standard Senior High School curriculum with the additional Boga and FO skills classes. Official government recognition is in process and should be in place by July of 2008.

The school is the brainstorm of I Gusti Ngurah Sutariana, who was an executive chef at starred hotels in Bali for twenty years and is now devoted to helping these children make a new life for themselves. The students are able to practice with the guests of the Suly Resort.

The students live on the grounds in gender separated dormitories. Twenty-one of the original students were not able to cope with living away from home and returned to their villages so there were 42 students (19 female and 23 male). And on 9 July 2008 we took again the student 50 people ( 24 boys & 26 girls).

Now, we have 124 students in total. Which are : 36 students from 3rd grade, 42 students from 2nd grade and 46 students from 1st grade. Now we have 60 male students and 64 female students.
