Our flagship project at present is the reconstruction of the Bali Community Hall. The Bali Community Hall is a magnificent stone-walled structure that stands as a testament to our rich heritage. Its elegant architecture and sturdy design of its time made it a cherished landmark, that evoke feelings of nostalgia among every Bali son and daughter. Each brick tells a story, representing countless memories of celebrations, gatherings, and community events that have taken place within its walls. The hall served as a focal point for unity and culture, making it an integral part of our collective identity and a symbol of resilience for every Bali son and daughter. This vital community hub was severely impacted in the Anglophone crisis, resulting in a significant loss of resources and connectivity in Bali.
