This season, we turned a simple idea into reality: gifting one Christmas book in English to every child at the Bali Orphan Day Centre (Taman Permata Hati) in Ubud. Thanks to your generosity, those books found their way into curious little hands—and into imaginations just waiting for a spark. Why books? Because a book is a companion. It teaches new words, opens a window to the world, and lets you travel without moving. For these children, it’s also a symbol: someone, somewhere, thought of me. What you made possible Every child received their own book, chosen by age, interests, and English level. Shared reading moments with caregivers, volunteers, and older kids reading to the younger ones. A small starter library so the magic continues beyond Christmas. Thank you to our donors To everyone who gave the price of a latte, a croissant—or much more: thank you. You didn’t just fund a purchase; you planted a habit, a reading ritual, a seed of confidence. Your support became stories read aloud, laughter, and bright eyes. “A book is the most beautiful way to say: I believe in you.” OÏ, a house of care… and attention Born in Bali, OÏ is a cosmetic brand that honors skin, nature, and the gestures that make us feel good. Supporting this initiative was obvious: caring for the soul of the island as much as its beauty. The action is complete—and it marks the first chapter of a lasting commitment. Transparency Amount raised: €700. Funds were fully used to purchase the books (selected by age group) and deliver them to the Bali Orphan Day Centre in Ubud. Purchase receipts and a detailed breakdown are archived and available upon request.
