We are complete!...for a week and a 2 days

2 members of Banjar Saraswati, Singapore extension, landed in Bali on 29 May 2008, Thursday at 9.30pm. Eswandy and Antoinette, Banjar Saraswati’s 2 elite executives, brought along with them the fruits of their labour- a pool of donated books for a certain village school library.




3 days later, both conducted a lesson at the Belang elementary school through the story “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein. “The Giving Tree” is a story of giving and mistaken requirements for happiness.



This marks Banjar Saraswati’s first lesson on impressing morality in the young minds of Bali. Educating through emphasis on wisdom and compassion over the oft misused and misled convention through rote learning is a belief Banjar Saraswati holds dear.



On the eve of 8 July 2008, Sunday, Eswandy and Antoinette quietly exchanged Balinese soil for Singaporean toil. Banjar Saraswati dearly misses them. Benar...
