A visit to Bali's Zoo
On 26 January 2009, we went to Bali Zoo Park. The children were very interested. They brought writing books and pens or pencils to write down animal information (name, where they come from, what they eat, and how they multiply).
Valentine's Day at the Alila Ubud from Ngurah
A bus from Alila Ubud collected us and we arrived there at 1.30 pm.
First, they gave our children name tags, ribbons to wear, tissues, and perfumed hand towels. Then we received a welcome drink of fresh juice to ease our thirst.
We began with a game. All our children made a big circle. While a ball was passed around to other friends, they sang a song. When the song finished, the child who had the ball stood in the centre of the circle.
The next game is team co-operation. They must carry a balloon over a course; the fastest team is the winner.
Then lunch time. They sat at long tables in a circle. Each child had a box lunch (burger, fried potatoes, and hamburger with a red sauce). They also had a plate of pizza to share with others at each table.
After that, we went back to the next game. The magic man was ready with his games (card, money, etc). He also taught some games to our children. Next, the balloons team made many shapes with balloons. All of our children had their requests made with balloons.
They got ice cream.
We also had face painting, or impermanent tattoo for the boys and nail paint for the girls.
The also played some games.
After that, we celebrated the winners from each of the game. Winners are Nova, Agus Murdika Yasa, Arya, Yogi, Yustikasari, Sumadi and Mega.
We closed this event by printing each of our orphan’s hand in paint on a large banner (Taman Permata Hati with Alila Ubud). Then we made photos together.
All of us enjoyed this event. We hope all sponsors can enjoy with us our story of Valentine’s Day.

Celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the centre
19 February 2009 was a very special day at Taman Permata Hati as it marked the 2nd anniversary of the Yayasan. ( Co-operative)Whilst Kadek Suambara began his orphan support program in 1995, it was not until 19/02/07 that he was able to centralise the administration in a permanent building. So much has happened since then. The total number of orphans and disadvantaged children has more than doubled to 80+ and we now have sponsors in many countries and throughout Australia.

Day at the beach
To celebrate the month-long school holiday, the children went to the seaside for the afternoon. They had a lot of fun. The school starts again at the end of June and we'll receive the school reports in the middle of the month.
Our visit to Puwakan
A message from Ngurah (8 June 2008):
Today our Taman Permata Hati’s children (20 children) went to Puwakan. We went there because Ibu Claire invited us. In there, we sing a song. We sing 3 songs together in front of audience.
We meet with Puwakan’s Children. After we sing a song, Puwakan’s children show a dance. Their dance was very beautiful.
We heard a story from Pak Made Taro. He is a children's book writer. We are happy.
Progress on the building project
The orphan centre is growing! A new room is being added, with a kitchen for cooking classes, a library, a courtyard and a washroom. The builders started as soon as enough funds were raised. Here are a 
few photos to show you the progress.
When the work is completed, there will be 2 large classrooms for classes to be held simultaneously. There will also be a quiet area in the library where children can read or do their homework. In the kitchen, the children can learn some basic cooking skills.
