IV / Vol 8 - September 2009 Sourcing Bali News

Welcome to another edition of Sourcing Bali News.

We are proud to bring you the latest updates from Sourcing Bali and our supplier partners.

In this edition, we share news of the latest uploads to the website.  Ray has been busy cropping images and uploading data - the new overhaul is complete and the website now includes hundreds of new products.  If you have not visited the site for some time, then we certainly recommend a visit.  www.sourcing-bali.com

We have had a very busy July and August with a record number of client visits - the slow down in the economy seems to have turned and we are receiving many repeat and new orders.  We thank you for your tremendous support and look forward to being of continued service.

Our Hospitality Essentials brand www.sb-he.com continues to grow from strength to strength - with new orders being confirmed from Abu Dhabi, Maldives, Fiji, Anguilla, Bahrain, Ekaterinburg, Australia, Tanzania and many other desitinations.  

We take this opportunity to thank you once again for your support.  As always, if you have any comments or suggestions on how we could improve our service to you, please let us know.

Warmest regards
Desmond & Crew

We've added a lot more paintings on line - although this is just a very small % of the wide range of painted artwork that is available from Sourcing Bali.

Retailers take note, the potential mark up prices on these art peices is significant, so if you are not currently including these in your range of products, you might want to consider adding some styles.

News of Nyoman

Its been a long time since we updated you with news of Nyoman - the young Balinese boy that we have been sponsoring since 2000. 

Young Nyoman suffers from Cerebal palsy, an affliction caused by lack of oxygen to the brain at birth.  His mother died giving birth to him and his older twin brother (who is able bodied)  and his family was living in severe poverty when we met him in 2000.

Since then, we've been supporting Nyoman and his family, building the family home, placing Nyoman in a special care boarding school and paying for all education and living expenses for him and his brother.

Now, 10 years later, this strapping 15 year old is studying hard at high school, has a great command of English, Indonesian and Balinese and is a favourite at the school.  He's now out of his wheelchair, using only crutches and his motor skills are improving as he develops his body strength.

He's an avid student and he loves to learn - he understands that his future depends on his education. 

Sourcing Bali recently donated 6 computers and all network installation to the school to get them onlne and introduce computer skills to the school's curriculum.
