Dear friends, This month we welcomed Endro and Yes to our home.
Alison met Endro last year whilst visiting Sumba and felt compelled to help him,
 Endro has a medical condition that urgently requires surgery
  hopefully this will take place in the next few weeks.
 Doctor David Marsh was visiting Bali and helped us to confirm
the necessary treatment for his condition.



Yes - our newest arrival
