Welcome to the SoleFamily Bali January Newsletter. January has been a great start to the year, filled with exciting journeys, meaningful progress, and renewed commitment to the communities we serve. As we stepped into the new year, we continued working closely with our SoleBuddies, partners, and supporters—turning compassion into action and strengthening our shared mission of changing lives in Bali. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Welcoming New Families!

We are pleased to welcome Evelyn Wungubelen as our new Finance Staff at #SoleFamilyBali. Evelyn will support the foundation by managing financial records, monitoring expenses, ensuring transparent reporting, and helping us maintain accountability so every contribution truly makes an impact for our SoleBuddies. Please join us in giving a warm welcome — say hi to Evelyn and wish her all the best as she begins this new journey with us

Also, we are excited to welcome Titho Meda as our new Fundraising & Partnership team member at SoleFamily Bali. Titho will focus on building meaningful partnerships, developing fundraising initiatives, engaging donors and collaborators, and strengthening long-term support to ensure our programs continue to change lives in Bali.

Sole-ful Facts

• Distance outreach cars travelled 8420 Km – that’s nearly the distance from Bali to London
• Food Parcel Distributed : 56. That’s enough to line up and stretch across a half-length Olympic swimming pool if laid end to end.
• Accommodation Meals to Sole  Buddies : 105 people have been kept fed in our SoleCenter – that’s like feeding 5 football teams and their families after a match

With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of our SoleBuddies, Ibu Ketut Aslini, 3 year old Ardisanjaya, and Kadek Dwi.

Gone from our sight, forever part of our family. Please kindly send your thoughts and prayers. Condolences to their parents, siblings, and extended family. May they rest in peace and love.
