Bali Island School Preschoolers Raise Rp5,034,000 for BAWA Foundation Through Charity Market
Preschool students at Bali Island School hosted a charity marketplace that raised Rp5,034,000 for the BAWA Foundation. The event transformed preschool classrooms into a bustling market where young children sold handmade items and homemade treats to families, staff, and community members.
Hands-On Entrepreneurship and International Baccalaureate Learning
The marketplace initiative gave students practical experience in communication, teamwork, and product responsibility. Young entrepreneurs offered handmade goods such as keyrings, flower pots, and dolls alongside homemade treats including lemonade, cheesecake, and Gabin ice cream. According to Bali Island School, the project demonstrated how early learners can embrace the principles of an International Baccalaureate education by connecting classroom lessons to community welfare.
“The Charity Market was a great opportunity for our Preschoolers to see that even small actions can make a difference,” Mitha, a preschool teacher at the school, said. “They were excited to share what they had created, and it was wonderful to see their confidence and sense of care grow throughout the experience.”
Community Support for Bali Animal Welfare
The wider school community turned out in strong numbers to support the children’s fundraising efforts. The total proceeds of Rp5,034,000 will directly fund the BAWA Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving animal welfare across Bali.
“It wasn’t simply about raising money for the kids,” school representatives noted. “It was a chance to learn that being part of a community means caring for others and doing something when the opportunity to help arises.”
