EWe have assisted with 15 yo Putu's school fees for the last few years, and she has just now got into a middle school of her choice, with a goal of studying nursing. It means living away during the week, but she will share with a friend and is happy about this. An American couple is also helping and will buy her a laptop. Wow. So we decided to buy 10 yo brother Resa a bike. BIG WOW! Was first overwhelmed and unsure, but soon had a huge grin. Happily accepted mum Made's decision that it must be blessed first, and that night sat solemnly and received his blessing from her, then blessed his bike.  He waited for us to wake up the next morning before riding it, even bigger wow. Very humbling moment of cultural exchange....

Dodgy nighttime photo but 2 offerings adorn his bike. 

Yes he's wearing his ripcurl rashie and has done since we gave it to him 5 days ago. Thanks Ronni!
