to Robin Lim.
“Ibu” (grandmother) Robin Lim
is a world-famous midwife, a respected author and a first class poet,
whose passion for delivering babies with up-to-the-minute methods while
respecting ancient rituals and traditions is perhaps unmatched anywhere.
Robin has for years operated a mother/baby birthing and health clinic in
Bali, Indonesia. Since the tsunami disaster of 2004 she has also run a
similar clinic in Aceh province. which also treats emergency medical
conditions and transports patients to a hospital several hours away.
Robin is the recipient of the (European) 2006 Alexander Langer award for
personal service to the world, and her organization has been recognized as
the #1 non-governmental organization (NGO) in the province of Bali,
Indonesia.
Every year, the Sakthi Foundation receives a significant amount of
donations which are earmarked for the support of Robin's organization. Her
organization is registered as an Indonesian NGO, not as an American
one--which gives her the benefit of greater acceptance and reduced red
tape in Indonesia. This also, however, negates the ability of supporters
in the U.S. to receive a tax exemption for donations directly to her
organization.
It is for this reason that Sakthi,
a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt U.S. organization, is happy to process
funds through itself, to Robin. When you donate in this fashion (and you
are located in the U.S.), you will receive an acknowledgment letter
which is useful for your own tax records.
Please join hands with us to help this mother and child welfare project by
sending donations to Sakthi Foundation, with a note about Mother & Child
Project.
