When we spoke to them about seeing Nemo in his natural habitat, the entire family was enthusiast about the idea.

When we arrived at Menjanagan, the lesson was well understood. The family was accompanied by two guides Putu and Budy who took special care for the girls so parents could enjoy freely the beautiful ocean. We did two snorkelings with a lunch break in between.

He developed a blog to exchange and sensibilize them to other parts of the world and to put them in contact with children of other cultures. What a great initiative! Brad is now back to school and will directly support the orphanage by raising funds through various activities with his kids. They will also exchange drawings among them.
