Ketut Sri de Bhakti Senang Hati elabora esta impresionante máscara que representa a Barong, una criatura mitológica parecida a un león de la antigua Bali. La admirable escultura y su soporte están tallados a mano en madera de cocodrilo con sus vetas únicas. "Nací con poliomielitis que me debilitaba ambas piernas", explica el artesano Ketut Sri. "Ahora uso silla de ruedas. Me uní Bhakti Senang Hati en 2002, cuando recién se había creado la fundación, y allí conocí a mi marido, quien también padecía polio. Tenemos una hija que tiene epilepsia y un hijo que ahora está en el jardín de infantes. Yo mismo creo las máscaras y mi marido ayuda a preparar la materia prima. Espero que a los clientes les guste mi máscara tallada a mano que presenta nuestra cultura y que también respaldará nuestro futuro".

Working with Disabilities

Working with Disabilities

Bhakti Senang Hati was founded and is run by people with physical challenges who provide a special service for the physically challenged in Bali. The society also provides wheelchairs and housing, and runs Bhakti Senang Hati Places, a home for children with disabilities. The seven artisans who are members of the foundation use a wheelchair or have a prosthetic leg. This does not stop them from living a full-life and striving to be self-sufficient.

Confronting Adversity

Confronting Adversity

The Bakti Senang Hati Foundation assists persons with disabilities. Living with a disability can be more difficult in Bali than in other places. Bali's Hindu culture carries with it the additional stigma of karma. To be disabled is the physical manifestation of bad karma. Traditionally, the disabled were hidden away and isolation was added to their burden. Attitudes are slowly changing and programs such as the Bakti Senang Hati Foundation teach self-confidence as well as the practical skills that will enable their members to become self-supporting.

Profound Impact

Profound Impact

Although their Novica sales do not provide enough income for each artisan to be self-supporting, these sales have a profound impact on their lives. The income contributes not only to their financial stability but also to their self-esteem. It is important to these artisans that their work is seen and appreciated around the world.
