Indonesia community support

Supporting Students in Bali

Bali, Indonesia

Through trusted family and local relationships, we helped support a student-focused community project in Bali.

The goal was to provide practical help while building a responsible process for future community support in Indonesia.

Project Overview

This project was supported by Thomas & Runtulalo Co. and by my family. My nephews, Corbin and Oliver, helped provide school supplies, and my niece, Astrid, contributed money toward the project.

Together, we were able to provide students in Indonesia with backpacks, school supplies, and new shoes to help them begin the school year prepared and confident.

Local Relationships

The distribution was organized through trusted local connections in Indonesia. Working with people who understand the community, the language, and the day-to-day needs helps us make sure support reaches the children directly.

What Was Provided

  • Backpacks for each student
  • Notebooks, pens, and basic stationery
  • Grade-appropriate school supply kits
  • New shoes for students who needed them

What We Learned

Practical items delivered directly to students can make an immediate difference. A backpack, a set of notebooks, or a pair of shoes can help a child start the school year with more confidence.

Trusted local relationships remain the most important part of doing this work responsibly across borders.

Future Plans

We plan to continue supporting small, well-documented projects in Indonesia, growing only as the process, partners, and accountability allow.
