I’m writing you this from Bali.
\nOh, Bali.
\nThe place I was terrified to visit on my own.<\/a>
\nI had no idea what I was doing and it was my first time travelling solo.
\nWell, a LOT has happened since then.
\nI arrived here and hit the road running.
\nAnd so I started preparing for the unexpected.<\/p>\n

I taught at high schools<\/a>. There was a cow who stopped by.
\nI taught orphans and illiterate farmer’s children in a remote village <\/a>which can only be reached by motorcycle.
\nI taught at University.\u00a0<\/a>
\nI taught at a Cruise Ship College.\u00a0<\/a>
\nI taught the staff of where I was staying. (Sorry, I can’t find a picture of that now.)<\/p>\n

I taught over 300 students in 5 different places. I cried every day, moved by the beauty and the kindness of strangers.<\/p>\n

My heart exploded with love for these students and their (often volunteer) teachers, who work so hard to make a difference in their lives, and despite having no budget for materials or teachers, manage to study with a smile every day.<\/p>\n

I saw kids sitting on each other’s laps because they didn’t have enough chairs.
\nI saw children without shoes and holes in their clothes.
\nI saw people gladly sharing 1 pencil with 3 people.
\nI saw bright and determined students trying desperately to find a way to find the 4 dollars a month it takes to study.
\nAnd I saw these faces.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

I decided to make a change.
\nMy heart was teling me I had to do something concrete and long-term to help these people who moved my soul in many ways.<\/p>\n

So….I started my own foundation!
\nThe B.DEAL FOUNDATION was born this week.
\nThis is the Buffi Duberman Education And Language Foundation.<\/p>\n

I announced it and asked people on social media if they would like to donate or help.
\nAnd they did. From Singapore. Los Angeles. Rotterdam. New York. Maastricht. Chicago.
\nAnd I was honored to hand over 2 envelopes stuffed with the love and kindness of strangers at the high school in Lokapaska Village.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

And the English Corner children’s program at the top of the mountain in remote Sidetapa….<\/p>\n

And now I’m reaching out to hotel and tourism schools, English teachers, and anyone and everyone else who wants to make a difference.<\/p>\n

The response has been overwhelming. Now we have a volunteer coming over in 3 weeks to teach! If you would like to give a donation, just hit ‘reply’ and I will get back to you and make sure it gets to the right people.<\/p>\n

I’m so glad I conquered my fear and opened my heart.
\nMy life will never be the same.<\/p>\n

What kind of difference do you want to make in the world?<\/p>\n

With love,
\nBuffi<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some of these kids are children of illiterate local farmers.
\nSome of them are\u00a0orphans.
\nAll of them are loved.<\/p>\n
