Appeal for shoes


Village life on Gili Sunut struggles on as it does every day. A recent visit to the island welcomed us with the familiar smiling faces even thought the problem of relocating to the mainland remains.

During the visit two boys, took a shine to my trainers. ‘I like your shoes Mister’ said Fauzi. He has become the team spoke person when we are on the island as he’s been learning English and his confident smile sells well.

In fact they all liked my beaten up old trainers.

We take for granted simple necessities like shoes so you are reminded how lucky you are when you see the kids on Sunut. Growing feet mean an endless need to replace the pair you have. If you are lucky enough to have a pair in the first place!

We have set up a local Shoes for Sunut Appeal. Please help.  If you are in Bali or Lombok, then get in touch and we will collect. (only trainers and flip flops please)

We will keep you posted with pictures. Thanks for helping.
