John Fawcett Foundation / Yayasan Kemanusiaan Indonesia

This foundation assists many Indonesian adults and children with much needed medical attention and surgery, particualrly relating to eye disorders, cataracts, cranio-facial problems etc. 

Sourcing Bali is assisting the foundation by acting as a collection point for USED EYE GLASSES.  Everyone is encouraged to send us / bring us - any second hand / still usable eyeglasses, particularly those suitable for children.  Once collected, these will be donated to the foundation for distribution to the needy.

Please help us to assist this worthy cause !

We are also encouraging all of our friends / visitors / customers to support the foundation - by purchasing BALI EYE - a photographic essay of Indonesia.  As a direct result of your purchase of this book, one more Indonesian can have their cataracts removed and their vision returned.  The price of the book is Rp350.000 (approx US$36) - we would be happy to purchase one for you, and add it to your next shipment.  Please let us know.
