The BCP Cultural Programs
To help foster these traditional art forms among the young, the Bali Children’s Project has created a number of programs. In North Bali we have helped in building a studio for a particularly talented teacher, who travels long distances with his wife to teach in remote communities. We have also paid the tuition costs of poor children and provided the necessary costumes. We would welcome the donation of addition funds to extend this program to other parts of Bali.

From time to time we welcome volunteers
willing to share their talents and teach art classes
For three years the BCP collaborated with university
researchers in Zurich, Switzerland in a study of children's art and creativity.
The fieldwork is now finished and we await the detailed report of their
findings.

children we have supported, and formed part of the Starship Hiroshima art
party in Japan in 2003. The originals are available for sale to benefit
both the artist and the Bali Children's Project. Please email us for

Through
the wonderful generosity of Hammerax, designers and manfacturers of custom
percussion instruments, we now have the instruments for a full gamelan
orchestra. With this we have been able to start both a boys and a
girls performance group. These groups now play at temple ceremonies and at
local hotels. A second gamelan has now been built and is based in Klung Kung. We look forward to welcoming John Stannard, the
founder and president of Hammerax, when he is next in Bali, when he will play
with the BCP Children's Gamelan.
