“We love Bali!”

These children loved Balinese art, when they had a free playing time they sang a Balinese song “Meong-meong” and playing its game with all friends.

We were so grateful and thank to Sanggar Dewi Sri and Mr. Tunik Sumerta (Bebek Tepi Sawah Restaurant & Villas) of their support to introduce Balinese culture to our students.
