Over 200 Pair, Collected and Delivered to Bali!

On October 18, 2006, 250 pairs of uv-protected sunglasses were donated to the fisherman of the village of Lipah, Bali. I Made Liter Aduyana, head of the Lipah Fisherman's Association said, "Dear Mrs. Sha'ari and friends, thank you a lot for this donation. It will be very useful for us." In typical Balinese fashion, the sunglasses were blessed by a local priest prior to distribution.

Sha'ari Garfinkel of Seattle,Washington was moved to begin this collection after visiting the area in May. She noticed that many young fisherman developed cataracts prematurely. "When I asked why they didn't wear sunglasses, I was told they couldn't afford them and couldn't buy them there." That's when she decided to do something. She had just attended the Quest for Global Healing Conference in Ubud, Bali and was motivated to take on an important but manageable project.

Thanks to many people in Seattle who donated sunglasses or funds to purchase sunglasses for the fisherman, 250 pair were collected. Then, a colleague of Ms. Garfinkel's, Franci Pease announced that she would help transport the glasses to Bali. Franci was one of 15 people from Seattle's Center for Spiritual Living who carried the sunglasses in their luggage during their recent trip. Then, she gathered up the glasses and brought them to Bali's capital city, Denspasar. From there, Sha'ari was able to enlist the assistance of Marcel and Unieng Luitze, hotel owners in Lipah who have an apartment in Denpasar and make frequent trips between locations. Mr. Luitze said, "It's our pleasure to give assistance in these type of charity actions."

Sha'ari hopes to continue this sunglass collection project, helping to prevent cataracts throughout other fishing villages in the rural area of Amed, Bali. For information on how you can assist, please call 206.937.9700.
