BIRTHING SEASON FOR SEA TURTLES

/in

For many years, Dajuma has actively supported the Marine Turtle Conservatory located in Perancak, 25 km from us. Many sea turtles lay their eggs on the beaches around Dajuma, but the risk of seeing them stolen or devoured by stray dogs or birds is great. So we encourage villagers and our staff to pick them up and bring them to the conservatory. Last week, many births took place. The children of our customers had the pleasure of bringing the baby turtles to the sea, in complete safety. Well done kids!

HOLIDAY TIME

Finally, it is time for the holidays and many are the children of our clients who love to walk on the beach of Dajuma to discover the intense underwater life. In the photo the big sister initiates her little brother between two tides to the knowledge of these small crabs so fast in their movements. A good moment of  discovery under the discreet supervision of the parents!

PEKUTATAN DANCING SCHOOL ON DAJUMA STAGE

/in , ,
From their youngest age, Balinese children are initiated to traditional Balinese dances in every village of the island. Among many other customs of their rich culture, dancing takes a particular importance: because it is not only a demanding and codified physical exercise but also a link to the past and  legends perpetuated by the Ramayana.
Since many years, Dajuma helps the dancing school of the village to maintain this beautiful tradition. Every week, young villagers are used to come on Dajuma stage and perform their art under the vigilant guidance of their professor. Our guests are always fascinated by this spectacle and their children are often invited to accompany them. Always a beautiful moment of sharing!

FISHERMEN’ BOYS PLAYGROUND

/in , ,

What are the dreams of local fishermen’ chidren? Most of them want to do the same job as their fathers. From their youngest childhood, they like playing in the sea with small boats looking exactly like the ones of their fathers or learning how to surf the waves. This is exactly what the two brothers are doing on the picture but it seems that only one will become a fisherman, the other one looking for being a surf champion!

SUNSET TIME FOR CALYPSO & LOLA

/in , , ,

At sunset, there is one thing that kids love above all: it is to walk along a sandy beach trying to catch the most possible crabs and seashells! On the photo, two sweet little girls Calypso and Lola run on the beach in the direction of the tall coconut tree that marks the boundary of the resort on the East side. A moment of pure happiness!

Children Paradise

/in , , , ,

Many of our guests tell us that Dajuma is just like a paradise. It is very kind of them to give such an opinion because it was one of the reasons why we decided 15 years ago to establish the resort in this place, at a time West Bali was just ignored by tours operators, guides… and tourists.
But what makes us so happy today is the way children are spending their time in Dajuma: the combination between sea, beach, garden and pool is just perfect for them. The cape at low tide is like a natural aquatic garden where they can explore the underwater life by looking at the volcanic holes visited by fishes, crabs, corals, shrimps and other seaweeds. And for those parents who need to relax and recover from their busy professional life, we offer a baby sitting service.

EXERCISE ON THE BEACH

/in , , , , ,

Every week on Saturday, the children with their teachers come to the beach in front of Dajuma to do exercise.
The pupils come from the kindergarden to the elementary school in Pekutatan called TK Harapan 2. They choose this place because of the nice view and the proximity of the school.

Dajuma’s CSR: Go study auction

/in , , , , ,

Though we wish to preserve Bali’s beautiful countryside by reducing Dajuma’s environmental footprint, we are concerned by Bali’s needs in terms of our Corporate Social Responsibility.

On this topic, one major priority remains allowing children to go to school. As such, our team chose supporting Bali Children Foundation: www.balichildrenfoundation.org. Its main objective is to provide community education in remote areas of Bali.

Since July 2014, the BCF has increased their number of scholarships to cover the education of approximately 1000 students living across 30 communities and 2 children’s homes.

For the second time, this dynamic foundation has been organizing  the Go Study Auction on October 28th. The previous edition in April helped supporting 5 communities and 1 children’s home in West Bali.

Our team is very excited to support this great initiative for education of underprivileged children.
