SI Riverside – Bumi Sehat Foundation Birthing Clinic Welcomes SI Riverside from WA

Thirteen  members of SI Riverside flew to Bali in September, each carrying 5kg of bunny rugs, teddy bears and blankets in their luggage.  Travelling to Ubud by taxi the members visited the Burni Sehat Foundation Birthing Clinic and presented these items to the staff running the Clinic along with two blood pressure monitors.  Unfortunately, Robin Lim, the founder of the clinic, had to make an urgent trip to Dempasar and we were unable to meet her.

Mary Hayes, our Treasurer, regularly visits the clinic and delivers items to assist them in providing for the new born babies.   While there, we were received very warmly and shown around the clinic, inspected the equipment and delivery rooms and had the opportunity to meet two new mothers with their 1 day old babies.  Mary was then presented with a carved Soroptimist emblem.  A gift package was presented to each of the new mums and we then watched a video on the work the clinic does in the area.   It was most gratifying to actually see the facility SI Riverside supports and meet the people running it.  5 days of leisure followed the visit staying in 2 villas in the Seminyak area.
