New Range - Upnormal

We are delighted to introduce the latest creations from our good friend CHEN - who's wildly exciting designs from STAINLESS steel never cease to amaze. 

Some of Chen's peices are over 2 meters high and take many, many months to create.

These statement peices are appearing all over the world in private homes, offices, hotel lobbies and gardens.  Being made of stainless steel, these all weather sculptures can endure the elements and are built to last !

The budget for this project is Rp 186.842.000. I need funds.  Please help me to make this happen!  Thanks to Benjamin Gerard for his donation of US$100.  WE NEED MORE GENEROUS SPONSORS!!

Say hi to Milky !

We met Milky nearly 7 years ago - he was one of the kids housed at the orphanage that we have been sponsoring.

In 1998 Milky was sent to the orphanage by his church - he originates from West Timor.  His father passed away many years ago, and his mother re-married, leaving Milky to fend for himself.

Milky speaks English, and until recently, had plans to move overseas as a migrant worker for a resort in PULAU.  Unfortunately, his medical exam results showed that Milky has Hepatitis, and thus didn't qualify.  With no chance of work, and no family to care for him, Milky contacted us.

Sourcing Bali pays for his medicines, checkups and his accommodation and we are pleased to report that he's recovering well.  At the moment, we have him on light duties as a gardener until he is 100% fit, and he'll then join the crew at RIM.
