The Jodie O’Shea Orphanage on the island of Bali, Indonesia was opened in 2005. It was named after Jodie O’Shea in memory of a person who devoted his life to helping others and who died in the terror act that struck Bali in 2002. The orphanage protects 50 children, aged one to 18 years of age, from Bali, Sumba and other Indonesian islands from the plight of unimaginable poverty and hunger. Living at the orphanage, children and adolescents experience miraculous changes. The orphanage is funded by donations from wealthy individuals. This financial support makes it possible to cover the expenses required to pay for food for healthy and nutritious meals, the administration of the orphanage building, the orphans’ education costs and salaries for staff.
