A living symbol of the atrocity of war, she is the founder  of The KIM Foundation International, a nonprofit dedicated to providing funds to support the work of international organizations that provide free medical assistance to children who are victims of war, violence, and deprivation. Mrs. Phan Thi has suffered many hardships since that day in 1972 including several years of painful burn therapy, but her spirit has always remained strong. Inspired by the  physicians who helped her survive, she decided to become a doctor; but her pre medical studies in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) were interrupted in 1982 when the Vietnamese government removed her from school to act as a “national symbol of the war.” Four years later the government permitted her to continue her studies in Cuba, but health issues put an end to her plans to become a doctor. It was in Cuba that Mrs. Phan Thi met her husband, Toan. They married on September  11, 1992. While on the way back to Havana after their honeymoon in Moscow, the couple defected to Canada during a one-hour layover in Newfoundland, Canada. They now live near Toronto, and Mrs. Phan Thi travels the world as a UNESCO (United  Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Goodwill Ambassador for the Culture of Peace. Kim Phuc Phan Thi has received seven honorary doctorate degrees from universities in Canada, Australia, the United States, and Mexico for her efforts to help children and end world conflict. She is an Honorary Member of Kingston Rotary, an Honorary  Member of St. Albert Rotary, a Member of the Advisory Board for the Wheelchair Foundation, an Honorary Member of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, a Member of the Advisory Board of Free Children's Foundation in Canada, and the World  Children's Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Mrs. Phan Thi is also a recipient of the  Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal, the 2004 "Order of Ontario,” as well as the International  Peace Prize presented in Dresden Germany, February 2019. Kim is the author of Fire Road, her personal memoir, which has been translated into ten languages.

Visiting The Kim foundation kids. Today I spent nearly an entire day with mentally and physically handicapped children. I must admit I am tired. Not because of the work I did or because I had a long day. I am tired because there was so much going on at the facility. First of all, the place is bigger than it appears from the outside. Second, the Kim Foundation caters to the young and the old. The age range is from 8 to 18. This was surprising and at the same time, it made so much sense. There aren't enough resources to separate the young and old. As it stands even with the less expensive labor rate in Indonesia the bills do pile up. What was most tiring was the constant buzz of the kids and the children. I must say that the staff works very hard to manage the kids and activities throughout the day. Focus. The word of the day was “focus” but before we go there, I need an intro. What goes on in a place such as this, was my initial question. With a group of 15 to 18 kids and young adults, it was certainly busier than I thought it would be. Kids will be kids and these kids are so much the same and yet so different. The word of the day “focus” came up a few times throughout the day. This was because that is what most of the kids' lack. Not because they cannot focus, but because they are easily distracted. My presence with my phone and snapping pictures and taking videos was already a distraction. It is difficult to explain in simple terms. Yet the word focus also applies to the teachers. They need to be vigilant and always on the lookout for kids wandering off and hurting themselves or others. It was amazing how much certain children can focus when they were putting beads on the strings to make bracelets. They were totally into it. I am sure there was nothing else on their minds at that very moment. Yet when one of them spotted the fact that I was recording or taking a photo I was an instant diversion from their activity. Kids and activities. As I mentioned, there is so much going on. From the beginning to the end of the day it is nonstop. There are no breaks for the kids, no nap time it is full on. The kids are often split into groups such as painting, arts and crafts and making bracelets. Dancing is also a part of the curriculum and so is music. The kids and the instructor were both creating music and dancing up a storm. When the drums sounded off it sounded like a marching band was approaching. Some kids wish not to participate or are in a sudden change of mood, they are sometimes removed from the group activity. This is to calm them down and also to keep the others from possibly acting up. Therefore, there are options for them to have quiet time in the chill-out room or to switch activities. At these times the kids may also be given one on one activities to calm down. The locals I am a father of two healthy happy, well-adjusted children who are now young adults. I am very grateful for that. Of course, there are plenty of reasons to be grateful in life. Yet in this part of the world, these kids are so lucky to be able to have a place like the Kim Foundation. We all know how challenging these situations can be. Most of us have had children that were sick from the flu or other illnesses, we know how hard it is to look after them. The infrastructure for disabled children and young adults is simply not in place in Indonesia. The locals in Indonesia lack the education and shall I say the compassion in ways that we do in North America. The stigma for the mentally and physically challenged linger here due to the lack of knowledge and ignorance of the fact. Hence, a place such as this is a blessing. Food for thought. This was a silly thought of mine, I may have even sounded like a fool. But when I asked Renata about this, that is what I realized how it sounded.

KIM Foundation. Bali Indonesia 22 Every time you meet someone, you have a chance to change a life. That is a bold statement. Pause right here, go back and read that again, please. That statement is the takeaway from my meeting/interview with Mrs. Renata of the Kim Foundation here in Bali. Even if you do not read one more word of this blog, I believe I have given you food for thought. This was to be a simple meet and greet. I was merely checking out the facility. It was to be about the children and what the facility offers the youth in Ubud Bali. Instead, I was graciously offered coffee, nasi goreng (fried rice), and fried bananas. It was around lunchtime, but I was not expecting any of that. Of course, it was not about the food, there was so much more to our conversation and I felt as if we had known each other for years. While we didn't change the world, we did come to terms with what is wrong with much of it. Nearly two hours of conversation and it didn't seem that our conversation about life, changes, and understanding was enough. With that thought, I will be returning in the next few days to see the children and the staff. What can we offer to others? Most of us have something we are good at. It could be math, language, geography, or something more personal like singing and dancing. No matter what you are good or bad at, you can offer something so much more. That is your time, compassion, and understanding towards others. This is exactly what I found at the Kim foundation. Mrs. Renata is from Czechoslovakia and I am from Hungary. Since we were both born in eastern Europe I believe we were raised with very much the same core values. This was pretty evident even though I grew up in Canada. The best part of the conversation for me was that with her organization, she was and is able to change the future. While this made her pause and even deny this, I believe this to be true. No, she does not have a magic wand. What she does have is patience, caring, love, and compassion towards the children and staff in the organization. This also extends to others around her and it shows. With this, she gives more than she takes and changes lives in the present, therefore, changing the future. What she takes away is the pain and the stigma that is associated with physically and mentally challenged individuals. You are accepted and loved just the way you are. This is what the world needs to come to terms with. This is what the world needs. We need this so we can all live in a better world under better circumstances. This is the butterfly effect for these needy children. With a warm hug and a smile, the children's future is already brighter. What does this all mean? When one travels there will always be some sort of story that pops up. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and other times we simply create great memories. This could involve people and places or both. Having had the pleasure to have met with Mrs. Renata at the Kim Foundation in Ubud Bali here is my brief backstory. I had bumped into this organization during a small event they were having at a local restaurant and being a curious person I asked if I could visit, which I did. I am glad I reached out because it is a life-changing story for me as well. Meeting caring and passionate people only adds further to the charm of Bali. A very unique place. The Kim Foundation supports the Sari Hati School. An educational facility for children and adults with special needs and Tur Youth Centre. Here they encourage entrepreneurship with social impact. I was very interested in the Sari Hati School because I have yet to see a special needs facility in Bali. The facility is much larger than I thought it was going to be. It has a large kitchen and several spots where the children can congregate. From outings to in-house encouragement and day care. These children are not necessarily in school. This is not a school pe --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zsolt-zsemba/message
