Salam Children's Home is a school & home for children whose parents cannot afford to feed & clothe them. These parents are usually tenant farmers with other children & are Bali's poorest of the poor. The identified need for the school which we're aiming to help is four new toilet & shower facilities attached to sleeping barracks & an additional septic tank. The current toilets are old, unsanitary, dilapidated & are some distance from the sleeping barracks- an issue during the night time & during the frequent rainfall.

Unloading the GravelI asked “Why not use a tipper?” The answer was, “well that would put 4 more people out of work!”

Slide13

Child labour??These kids were happy to move all the blocks approximately 160

metres down hill. I left them 50 pairs of gloves and said make sure that you’re wearing shoes. Well, as you can see, they’re happy!

Discussions of the septic

Slide25

The hole Dug by hand – no machines, broken up by crow bars, shovels and picks. Dug by the boys – five days later, they were finished and still smiling.

Slide26

The difference between sand and gravelIf it goes through the mesh, it’s sand, if it lands on my boots, it’s gravel!

9 hours a day, this lady shoveled the sand. $28 aussie dollars per day.

Slide27

The pit (septic tank)As you can see - done by hand. 9 metres

long, 3 metres deep, and 3 metres wide. 3 chambers to carry 14 toilets and 9 showers allowing for 3 more bathrooms later ….. no more effluent going to the river.

Slide28

The two brothers – ‘Made’ and PaulThis is the man who helped me to transport the materials, get all the prices, talked to the people I needed to, and went out of his way to help. He became family.
