On Friday, January 16, 2015 we visited 4 poor families at some villages in Gianyar. The four poor families we visited are as follows:
NI WAYAN TAMBUN & NI MADE SUDRANG
Address: Banjar Sema, Desa Bonbiu, Blahbatuh, Gianyar
These two old women who are sisters are never married. They live only by themselves. They have no other family members. Made Sudrang is suffered from Stroke and her sister, Wayan Tambun, is very old. She is unable to work anymore. Practically, they depend on their neighbors’ help to fulfill their daily needs.
Here is some documentation of them.
