Westerlaken Foundation contributes Rp 25.000.000,- to the construction of the sea pen in North Bali

Westerlaken foundation has contributed Rp 25.000.000,- to the construction of the sea pen in North Bali. The sea pen, constructed and coordinated by our partner Jakarta Animal Aid Network and Dolphin Project, is the first rehab center in Bali for ex-captive dolphins.


Johni and Dewa, ex Melka resort captive dolphins, will go to the sea pen as soon as possible. At the Melka Excelsior Hotel in Lovina, North Bali, Indonesia two dolphins are still clinging to life under desperate conditions. Our common goal is to make sure that they will never again be incorporated into shows or a captive dolphin swim program!


Weekly we visit Johni and Dewa and the construction site of the sea pen. Last week we were able to make drone images of the construction (see below).




Comments



The Stop Orphanages Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Westerlaken Foundation and Yayasan Bali Bersih. Its primary objective is to combat the exploitation of children and the use of orphanages as a means of personal gain, and children as a marketing tool. While we acknowledge that there are Child Welfare Institutions (LKSA) in Indonesia that genuinely prioritize the well-being of children, extensive research reveals that a majority of orphanages in Bali, Indonesia operate in violation of the National Standard for Child Welfare Institutions (30/HUK/2011). This standard explicitly prohibits the institutionalization of children based on poverty or limited access to education, as well as emphasizes the importance of empowering families and preventing the recruitment of children into orphanages.
